PMC Awaits State Guidance on Uruli-Phursungi Demerger as Residents Express Concerns
Nearly two weeks after the state announced the demerger of Uruli Devachi and Phursungi from Pune city limits, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is still managing the areas while awaiting clarity on how to proceed with the transfer of power. The civic administration has approached the state urban development department (UDD) for a detailed plan on formalities like manpower distribution and office handovers. Uruli and Phursungi were merged with PMC in 2017 but residents had long demanded a demerger, which was granted on September 11 with the creation of a joint municipal council.
Despite the decision, several key issues remain unresolved, including the recruitment of staff for the new municipal council and the status of schools in these areas. The waste depot in the villages will remain under PMC's control. While some residents had advocated for the demerger due to a lack of facilities despite higher taxes, others are now opposing the decision, fearing it may cause more problems. Protests have already been staged in opposition to the demerger, with residents concerned about potential negative impacts.
