Pune Ring Road Project Advances with Compulsory Land Acquisition from 15 Villages
The district administration has taken a significant step in advancing the 172-kilometer Pune ring road project, which involves the compulsory acquisition of 531 hectares of land from 15 villages spread across four talukas. To facilitate this, the Land Acquisition Act of 2013 will be invoked, as confirmed by a senior official. In total, 721 hectares of land from Maval, Mulshi, Haveli, and Bhor talukas will be acquired for the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation's (MSRDC) Pune ring road project, with the consent of villagers securing 190 hectares. With 26% of the required land already acquired through consent, the administration now plans to acquire the remaining 76% through compulsory acquisition, and revised rates for this process are expected to be announced soon. Notices will be issued to affected villagers, and if resistance persists after two months, the acquisition will proceed with police assistance, as stated by officials.
Pune district collector Rajesh Deshmukh presided over a meeting to discuss the land acquisition process, which commenced for the western phase on July 5. The initial consent deadline of July 30 was extended to August 21 due to concerns raised by villagers about the assessment process, and a 25% additional remuneration was offered. However, residents in 15 villages across Maval, Mulshi, and Haveli talukas have not granted their consent, prompting the decision to initiate compulsory land acquisition. This development underscores the administration's determination to advance the Pune ring road project despite the absence of voluntary agreements from affected villagers, as emphasized by a senior official.
