The Smart City special purpose vehicle (SPV) — Nagpur Smart and Sustainable City Development Corporation Limited (NSSCDCL) have enforced prohibition on sale deeds of unapproved layouts and plots in the Smart City area based development (ABD) area, covering Pardi, Bharatwada, Punapur and Bhandewadi in east Nagpur. This was settled at a NSSCDCL meeting presided by additional chief secretary to CM Praveen Pardeshi. 12 other proposals were also discussed in this meeting as per the report.
Reportedly, NSSCDCL called shots to put a ceiling on sale deeds of illegal layout and sub-division of land in ABD areas. SPV chief executive officer Ramnath Sonawane affirmed, “Large chunk of land is falling in no development zone and agriculture zone in ABD region. The Ahmedabad-based HCP Design, Planning and Management Pvt Ltd, which is preparing draft of town planning scheme for the SPV, informed us about selling of plots in the ABD region by few owners. We have no problem in selling of entire khasra as a whole but no sale deeds of sub division of land will be permitted. The SPV will send a letter to stamps and registration department asking it not to entertain sale deeds of unauthorized layouts and plots in ABD region.”
The CM of Nagpur, directed the municipal commissioner Ashwin Mugdal, the SPV director to confirm public notification and the clout of this imposition on sale deeds. Before the outset of this meeting, east Nagpur MLA Krishna Khopde along with some corporators met the CM and requested him to put up an additional area of 490 acres in the ABD region. According to the reports SPV gave its nod to expand the ABD region from initial plan of 951 acres to 1730 acres. In the same way SPV increased the charges to be paid to the consultants for protracting the ABD regions. Hence, the Smart City project will be developed on 1,730 acres of Pardi, Bharatwada, Punapur and Bhandewadi.
Total 12 directors were present in this meeting with Mayor Nanda Jichkar, commissioner of police K Venkatesh, NIT chairman Deepak Mhaisekar, municipal commissioner Ashwin Mudgal, collector Sachin Kurve, ruling party leader Sandip Joshi, and leader of opposition Tanaji Wanve, standing committee chairman Sandip Jadhav and others.
