NAVI MUMBAI: City Industrial Development Corporation (Cidco) has decided to take a tough stand on illegal encroachments. Under its revamped action plan, it is mandatory for anti-encroachment officers to register an FIR before demolition and procure a court order, if required. Also, there would be zero-tolerance policy towards any sort of external interference.
MD Sanjay Bhatia introduced Sunil Kendrekar, who will be heading chief controller of unauthorized construction (CCUC) and the personnel department, at a media meet held on Tuesday. Kendrekar said demolition drives will not be conducted without filing an FIR and action will be taken against those officers who fail to do so.
Residents can inform CUC about encroachments by posting pictures and details on Whatsapp (8767753114). The department will be monitoring all Cidco-owned plots and management information reports.
Speaking against coercive tactics, Kendrekar said, " To reiterate the fact that the law is equal for all, 20 unauthorized constructions in Navi Mumbai airport influence notified area (NAINA) and 20 encroachments within Cidco area, reportedly belonging to influential people, are to be demolished soon ," he said. All new constructions within 200m radius of the gaothan area will also be demolished.
All nodal administrators are authorized to prevent encroachments and will be provided with a squad as well.
"Currently, there is only one demolition team which is insufficient, considering over 5,000-odd Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning (MRTP) notices have been issued. We are seeking four units of demolition squad for NAINA region and four more teams for Cidco areas," added Kendrekar.
