PMC to Acquire 22.26 Hectares for Mula-Mutha Riverfront Development

Read Time:-2 Min

For the Mula-Mutha Riverfront Development Project, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has chosen to purchase 22.26 hectares of land. The land parcels are owned by the Forest Department, the Women and Child Welfare Department, and the Defense Department.

Officials claim that the riverfront development extends 44.4 km inside the city limits. Land acquisition has been a major obstacle to the project's goals of beautifying and redeveloping both banks of the river.

Land Details

  • Defence Department (Sangamwadi): Around 7 hectares
  • Women & Child Welfare Department (Mundhwa): Around 3.4 hectares, currently marked for a botanical garden
  • Forest Department (Koregaon Park): Around 11 hectares

Defence Department Approval

PMC has received consent from the Defence Department to use its land. In return, PMC will undertake works worth ₹32 crore at locations identified by the Defence authorities. A formal agreement will be signed soon.

District Collector Jitendra Dudi, Additional Commissioner Prithviraj B.P., City Engineer Prashant Waghmare, Project Department Head Dinkar Gojare, and Executive Engineer Bipin Shinde attended a review meeting presided over by PMC Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram.

City Engineer Waghmare confirmed that talks with the Women & Child Welfare and Forest Departments are in progress for the transfer of their respective land parcels.

Parts of the project are being carried out under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. However, PMC officials said that complete land availability is necessary for smooth execution. Commissioner Ram directed the departments to expedite the acquisition to avoid further delays.
