The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has announced plans to demolish 46 dilapidated wadas located within its jurisdiction ahead of the upcoming rainy season due to concerns over safety and potential accidents. These properties, situated in prime areas such as Ganesh Peth, Ganj Peth, Somwar Peth, and others, have been deemed hazardous and pose risks to both occupants and passersby.
The decision follows a survey conducted last year in collaboration with a private firm, categorising the structures into three groups based on their condition: C1 for the most dangerous, C2 for those needing major repairs, and C3 for those requiring minor fixes. Despite being aware of the deteriorating structural integrity of C2 category wadas, PMC has faced obstacles in taking action, citing opposition from occupants and legal complexities.
PMC officials express frustration over occupants' reluctance to vacate, often citing financial constraints or fears of losing their claim on the property if it undergoes redevelopment. Efforts to encourage tenants to opt for tenancy certificates, guaranteeing their rights in the event of redevelopment, have seen limited success, with only 400 certificates issued and many tenants remaining sceptical about their utility and legal value.
Residents have highlighted the dilemma faced by financially vulnerable occupants, who prioritise staying in the dilapidated properties due to affordability issues despite recognising the risks involved. The PMC's initiative to issue tenancy certificates, aimed at resolving legal disputes between wada owners and tenants, has struggled to gain traction amid concerns about its effectiveness and implications for residents' rights.
The reluctance of occupants to vacate these hazardous structures underscores the challenges faced by PMC in ensuring public safety while navigating legal complexities and addressing residents' concerns about their housing security. Despite efforts to incentivize relocation through tenancy certificates, the issue remains multifaceted, requiring a comprehensive approach to balance safety, legal compliance, and residents' welfare.
