Minister Calls for Updated Rehabilitation Plan for Farmers Affected by Pavana Dam Project
The Minister of Relief and Rehabilitation held a crucial meeting on Wednesday, focusing on the long-standing issue of rehabilitating farmers impacted by the Pavana dam project, which dates back over 50 years. The meeting emphasised the need for an updated rehabilitation plan, and officials have been instructed to submit a revised report detailing the current status of the rehabilitation process. Responding to the demands and concerns raised by affected farmers during a recent agitation in Pimpri Chinchwad, the minister's directive comes after a prior meeting organised by Pune's guardian minister. Following discussions with government officials and representatives of the affected farmers, the minister has set a deadline of September 10 for the submission of the revised report, with plans also underway to establish a committee dedicated to formulating a comprehensive rehabilitation strategy.
In 1971, the Pavana dam project was completed, yet the process of rehabilitating impacted farmers has seen limited progress. Government records reveal that out of a total of 1,263 affected farmers, only 400 have undergone rehabilitation. Key demands include providing each farmer with four acres of land. The efforts to address this issue gained momentum recently, with the current meeting marking a significant step toward devising an effective plan for the farmers' rehabilitation, following consultations with stakeholders and officials alike.
