Pune is growing fast, and with that growth, some problems are happening. One big issue is the Mutha Right Bank Canal. Many people have built illegal structures along this 34-kilometer canal, and this has caught the attention of the Water Resources Department. These illegal buildings aren’t just bad for the canal; they can also be dangerous for the people living nearby.
Over the years, many unauthorized constructions have appeared, like small cattle sheds and car washing spots. These buildings are in places where they shouldn’t be, making it hard to keep the canal safe and working well. They can block important paths that help maintain the canal.
To fix this problem, the Water Resources Department has started a big demolition plan. They want to remove all the illegal buildings by the end of April 2025. They’ve set a clear deadline to finish this work and make sure the canal is safe again.
The department is sending out notices to people who’ve built these structures and is being strict about not allowing anyone to build again in those areas. They want to make sure that once a place is cleared, it stays that way.
Experts say that taking action is really important because if these illegal buildings keep growing, they can hurt the water supply for Pune. The Mutha Right Bank Canal is very important because it provides water to the city.
As the deadline gets closer, the Water Resources Department is asking the community to help and follow the rules. Together, they hope to make sure the canal stays safe and that there are no more illegal buildings in the future. This way, Pune can have a reliable water supply for everyone.
