After the allegations raised by the Shiv Sena unit in Pimpri Chinchwad about the so called violations of laws in the construction of the sewage treatment plant at Dapodi, popularly known by the initials STP, the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has countered all the allegations raised.
The Pimpri Chinchwad Shiv Sena unit charged the ongoing work to be illegal and also gave a warning that it would raise the issue to the urban development department (UDD) of the central government. This work is currently being carried out under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). The construction work of the STP at Dapodi which has the capacity of 20MLD was started in October last year. The STP was proposed to be constructed at Sangvi but later was shifted to Dapodi.
Sarang Kamthekar, vice-president, state unit of the Bharatiya Vidyarthi Sena (BVS) was talking to the correspondents on Saturday. According to him, Shiv Sena corporator Seema Savale had collected the information regarding this entire endeavor from the PCMC, under the RTI Act. She received a copy of the letter sent by the irrigation department to PCMC dated March 23 which says that no prior permission has been taken by the irrigation department before starting the construction of STP.
The letter also states that in June 2010, on hectare land at survey no. 36 in Dapodi was supposed to be transferred to the corporation for setting up the STP. Some terms and conditions too were set before the PCMC. “However, the irrigation department was yet to grant the permission to start the work, and that the process of the transfer of land was still in progress,” said Kamthekar.
He also said, “We have been repeatedly saying that the construction was illegal, and this letter has proved us right. PCMC should stop the work immediately and wait for the permission.”
The Shiv Sena Unit has also written to the state urban development department regarding the violation of rules on the part of the civic body and has demanded an inquiry into the same. The party has also decided to take the matter to the central UDD.
Correspondents contacted Mr. Vasant Salvi, executive engineer, water supply and drainage department, PCMC and asked a few questions regarding the allegations. In reply he said, “The PCMC has received the permission to set up the STP at Dapodi. The district collector had held a joint meeting of the PCMC and irrigation department officials on September 17, 2010, in which he had directed the irrigation department to allow the PCMC to start the work, though the process of transferring the land was still in progress.”
