PMC demolished three unauthorized multi-storey buildings in Kondhwa covering 5,600 sq ft.
Action followed citizen complaints about fake documents and fraud in housing sales.
Officials urged buyers to purchase homes only from approved projects.
Pune, 7th October 2025: On Monday, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) dismantled three illegal structures in the Kondhwa region, clearing approximately 5,600 square feet of unauthorized construction. The operation focused on a three-story building in Lakshmi Nagar, Kondhwa Budruk, and two two-story buildings in Malik Nagar and Saibaba Nagar, Kondhwa Khurd.
For a number of months, residents of Kondhwa have been expressing worries about extensive illegal constructions being erected without proper approvals. Many buildings were constructed on small plots, often violating zoning laws, and were later sold with forged documents. Officials mentioned that these activities have led to considerable fraud and financial damage to unsuspecting homebuyers.
The PMC's Building Department conducted the demolition operation with the assistance of six labourers, five police officers, a JCB, four breakers, two gas cutters, five junior engineers, and two assistant engineers. Following the procedure, the civic authority cautioned that the demolished structures were hazardous and should not be occupied.
PMC authorities stated that the campaign against unauthorized buildings will persist throughout Pune. They also urged residents to check building permits and purchase properties solely from officially sanctioned and licensed developments to prevent fraud and financial jeopardy.
