Nashik civic chief instructs officials to ensure inclusion of all NMC properties in land records

Municipal Commissioner Chandrakant Pulkundwar of Nashik has given instructions to all six divisional offices of the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) to check if the properties owned by the civic body are included in the 7/12 extract papers or not. If any civic property is not included in the land records, it must be included immediately. This move was made in response to a question raised by BJP MLA from Nashik East Rahul Dikhle during the recent budget session of the assembly. The MLA claimed that many of the civic body’s properties in newly developed areas like Makmalabad, Adgaon, Mhasul etc., have not been included in the land records.

Chief Minister Ekanth Shinde, who heads the state urban development department, admitted that the claims of the BJP MLA are partly true. He further stated in his written reply that the NMC has started the process to include its properties in the 7/12 extracts. However, he made it clear that there are no incidents of encroachment by anti-social elements on these properties.

The NMC commissioner said that usually, the properties are included in the 7/12 extract after the acquisition process is over. However, some NMC properties were not included earlier, but the civic body is in the process of including them in the land records. He has instructed the town planning department of the civic body to check each of its properties and ensure that all of them have been included in the 7/12 extract.

The NMC has six divisions, namely Nashik East, Nashik West, Panchavati, Cidco, Satpur, and Nashik Road divisions. The civic officials have already started inspection of all its properties, and the inspection report would be submitted to the NMC commissioner.

This move by the Municipal Commissioner is commendable, as it ensures that the properties owned by the civic body are legally registered and recorded. The inclusion of these properties in the 7/12 extract papers is necessary to avoid any disputes or legal issues in the future. By ensuring that all properties are registered, the civic body can also keep track of its assets and ensure that they are being utilized in the best possible manner.

The BJP MLA's claim that many of the civic body’s properties in newly developed areas have not been included in the land records raises concerns about the transparency and accountability of the civic body. It is essential for the civic body to maintain accurate and up-to-date records of all its properties to ensure that they are being used for the benefit of the citizens.

The NMC's initiative to inspect all its properties and ensure their inclusion in the land records is a step in the right direction. It is important for the civic body to take all necessary steps to safeguard its assets and ensure that they are being used effectively for the development of the city.

In conclusion, the Municipal Commissioner's instructions to include all properties owned by the civic body in the land records is a welcome move that will bring transparency and accountability to the civic body's operations. The NMC's initiative to inspect all its properties and ensure their inclusion in the land records is a positive step that will help to protect the civic body's assets and ensure their optimal utilization.
