Nalla Protection Project |
|
|
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is planning to raise a protective wall a three-foot
wall and five-foot mesh along the 15-km Ambil Odha and six other streams and nallas
in the next few months to protect them from dumping and encroachments. The other
streams where the walls will be raised are Bhairoba, Nagzari, and those flowing
in Vishrantwadi, Senapati Bapat Road, Maharshinagar and the Alankar police chowki.
The civic administration plans to first desilt and clean the streams and follow it up by channelising, pitching, bunding and fencing the banks. Beautification will
be the last step.

Where there is enough width, the PMC will create small `social
places'. Trees, walking tack and seating arrangements would be provided alongside.
Over the years, the nallas have become the target of builders and developers. As
per the Development Control rule of the PMC, no piece of land shall be used as a
site for the construction of building if the site is adjacent to any watercourse
shown on the Development Plan.
"We will implement the nalla protection and beautification project," said deputy
city engineer (drainage) Satish Bhosarekar. The nalla project is a part of `river
beautification' under the Centre's Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission.
The PMC has got funds of Rs 25.96 crore and the work is expected to start by next
month. |
