PUNE: The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has suspended two officials from the TDR department for allegedly allowing the construction of two unauthorized floors at a property in Baner.
Municipal Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram took disciplinary action against junior engineer Shubhangi Tarukmare and deputy engineer Sandeep Misal under section 56(2)(F) of the Maharashtra Municipal Corporations Act, pending a departmental inquiry.
As per the order, the construction of the sixth and seventh floors was proposed through the additional use of TDR, exceeding the approved plan. However, construction on the sixth floor has already been completed, and work on the seventh floor is ongoing, despite the lack of approval for these additional floors. This issue was not highlighted by the TDR cell when the TDR use proposal was submitted and awaiting approval,” Ram stated to PTI.
Recently, Ram also suspended three employees from the sanitation department in the Hadapsar area due to inadequate cleanliness and transferred the assistant commissioner and ward officer from the regional office.
