NAVI MUMBAI: The authorities of Navi Mumbai
Municipal Corporation (NMMC) are busy chalking out the various ways in which it
can use some plots that have been allotted to the civic body by City and
Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO). They are seriously considering the
idea of converting some of these plots into open ground for the benefit of city
residents.
CIDCO has allotted
some plots to Navi Mumbai solely for converting them into parking lots. But the
civic body officials say that it is not possible to convert some of these plots
into parking lots. Hence the question that arises now is whether these plots
can be used for other purposes which will benefit the residents. While
discussing over this issue someone raised the idea of converting these plots
into an open space for city residents to use it for recreation. A NMMC official
said that it would be necessary to ask CIDCO authorities whether it permits to
allow these plots which are allotted for parking spaces to be used for other
purposes which are beneficial to public. Probably CIDCO might not raise any
objection and might permit NMMC to use these spaces the way they want, said the
official.
NMMC will do
some ground work before deciding the purpose for which a plot should be used.
The NMMC officials will interact with the people of the area where the plot
exists and find out their requirements. Only after that it will be decided as
to how the plot should be used.
“There are some areas
where playground or open space for recreation are badly needed. In such areas
NMMC is planning to come up with open ‘maidans’,” said an NMMC official.
CIDCO did allot
many plots to NMMC for purpose of construction parking areas but if the area
and location are not suitable for building parking area, then naturally the
plots should be used for some other purposes which will benefit the residents
of the area where the plots are located.
