PCMC begins taking charge of CIDCO utility plots

PCMC begins taking charge of public utility plots from CIDCO

by Staff Reporter June 24, 2019

written by Staff Reporter

Navi Mumbai / Panvel / PCMC: The Panvel City Municipal Corporation has asked CIDCO to hand over public utility plots. The plots that spread across Kharghar, Kalamboli and Panvel, include gardens, playgrounds and daily bazaar plots and will be taken on a lease for a period of 60 years. Apparently, the PCMC will be charged a negligible lease premium compared to the rates of plots in the area.

PCMC and Cidco will be registering a formal agreement with effective standard terms and conditions of CIDCO. A formal list of playgrounds and garden plots handed out by CIDCO contains 25 plots in Kharghar, 15 plots in Kalamboli and eight plots in Panvel (New Panvel and Khanda Colony). CIDCO has also offered around 17 daily bazaar plots in Kharghar.

The playground and garden plots will be leased at a premium value of Rs 79 per square metres.

Surprisingly, the PCMC handover will be much sooner than the one given to NMMC, which had taken around 10 years.

Officials further informed that except for the plots in Kamothe, all other public utility and daily bazaar plots had been offered on a lease premium. The handover was being priortised by both PCMC and CIDCO and most of the payments had already been made.

The handover, when completely given, will ensure speedy development done in public interest.

Pipeline burst renders Kharghar waterless for 3 days

by Staff Reporter June 19, 2019

written by Staff Reporter

Many sectors in Kharghar have been marred by erratic water supply

Navi Mumbai / PMC / Kharghar: Taps have been running dry, or at least, not adequately supplied with water, in various sectors of Kharghar owing to a pipeline burst in the Hetawane mainline at Retibunder, on Sunday. Though the pipeline had been sealed, adequate water supply was yet to resume.

CIDCO Officials informed that the pipeline burst that had caused delay in supply was promptly worked upon and after round the clock efforts that took more than 24 hours at a stretch, the damage was repaired. However, the supply had to be shut down temporarily for the repairs and though resumed the next day, it would have taken some time for the water pressure to build up and reach high-rise areas of the city.

Sectors receiving inadequate supply in Kharghar included sectors 4, 5, 13, 20, 34 and 35. Water was supplied to these sectors for limited time twice a day.

Officials ensured that the supply would return to normal soon, probably by Wednesday.
