Subject: Objections/Suggestions for improvement of the part of the DP i.e.
Sector 1 Baner/Balewadi uder Sub Section (1) of Section 31 of the MR&TP Act,
1966

Madam,
In response to your notification TPS-1807/39/CR-1017(A)/07/UD-13 dated
18-09-08, I submit my objections/suggestions for the above. I also request a
personal hearing in the matter for which please communicate me the date,
time and place well in advance i.e. with at least ten days notice.

*Suggestion and Objections
*
AMENITIES AND FACILITIES
*The reservations meant for High School (HS-1), Primary School (PS-1),
Hospital (H-1) and Home Guards (HG-1) in Survey no 4 Balewadi, should not be
changed to Public Semi Public Zone. The earlier reservations should be
retained.
*High School reservations in S. no 216 Baner (HS-2), Primary School in S. no
203, 216 Baner (PS-15) and others if any sought to be modified to
residential, should not be reduced or deleted.
*Space earmarked for Civic Amenities and Facilities are a must and therefore
the reservations for Fire Brigade at S.no 82 Baner (FB-1), Hot Mix Plant in
S.nos 49,14,15 Baner (HMP-1), Ota Market at S.no 270 Baner (OM-13) and S.no
2 Balewadi (OM-2), Construction Material Yard at S.nos 28, 29 Balewadi
(CMY-1) should not be removed and converted to Residential.
*The information provided by the PMC to the state government in respect of
gunthewari constructions in some of the areas is incorrect and misleading,
hence their reservations in these areas should be retained
*It is felt that the Hot Mix Plant may result in pollution and be a health
hazard to the residents of the area; therefore the said plot should be
converted to a Garden and/or Playground Reservation as the Planning Unit no.
1 of Baner-Balewadi already has a deficit in this behalf. This area could
also be converted to a new reservation called 'Nature Facilitation Centre'
or an 'Urban Forest' as envisaged in the XIIth Schedule of the Constitution
of India.
*It had been resolved by the planning authority that a Primary School
reservation in each unit be re-designated as a Rehabilitation Centre for
Differently Challenged Children (Spastics and Handicapped). However, this
has not been included in the present sanctioned DP. This is also very
important in view of the provisions in the XIIth Schedule of the
Constitution of India.

GARDEN AND PLAY GROUNDS
*Garden reservation in S. no 35 Baner (G-3) , S.nos 34, 35 Balewadi (G-1),
S. no 28 Baner (G-2) should not be converted to residential but retained as
Garden reservations
*Reservations for Play grounds in S.no 291 Baner (PG-10), S. nos 67, 68, 69
Baner (PG-6) that are sought to be converted to residential area should not
be changed and the reservation of play ground should be continued

CREMATORIUMS
*It would be wrong to shift the Crematorium in S.nos 46, 47 Balewadi (CR-2)
and S.nos 177, 178 Baner (CR-3) into the RPB (River Protection Belt) zone as
their use would then become redundant. Slight shifting to ensure continuity
for the adjoining road and use of crematorium all year round should be
ensured and changes made accordingly.

ROADS
*The modification in respect of the 18 mts. road which runs East West along
S.nos 45, 39, 38, 17, 16, 15, 13, 12, 9, of Baner to be widened to 24 mts.
and shifted to North into Survey no 7, which is reserved as Bio Diversity
Park, is strongly objected, as this would mean blatant cutting of the hill
and therefore it should be retained in the original position.

BIO-DIVERSITY PARK
*Preserving the hills of Pune, designated as Bio Diversity Parks, is a
matter close to the hearts of the Punekars and it is surprising that the
decision in respect of the same has been kept in abeyance. We object to
this, as it amounts to literally trying the patience of the Punekars.
*The BDP reservation at S.no 1 Baner, sought to be converted to Residential
is strongly objected.
*The Bio T & ABZ area in S.no 51 Balewadi is sought to be modified to
Residential, the said modification is objected
HIGH LEVEL FACT-FINDING COMMITTEE
*The information and justification in respect of reserved lands, to be
modified to residential, citing reason of gunthewari or permissions
sanctioned by the PMC to the buildings, is incorrect and misleading the said
lands are still open lands.
*Further, it is seen that even today, illegal constructions and cutting of
hills is taking place in reserved areas before the DP is finalized and the
PMC is not taking any action.
It is suggested that a High-level Fact-finding Committee be appointed at the
earliest to look into the irregularities and action be initiated against
those who have failed in the performance of their duty.


Thank you,

Yours sincerely,
