Submit clarification on objections, says DEO

Barely a week after union defence minister Rajnath Singh gave permission to hand over 17 acres of defence land for the Riverfront Development Project (RFD), the defence estates office (DEO) on March 5 wrote to the Pune municipal commissioner, urging the latter to submit a clarification on objections raised by a citizen to land allocation for the RFD project.

PUNE:

The PMC is executing the river rejuvenation and beautification project along a 44 km stretch between Sangamwadi Crematorium and Sadal Baba Dargah.

Recently, on February 26, union minister Singh gave his nod to handing over 17 acres of defence land for the project. However, Prajakta Mahajan, a Punekar working on river conservation, objected to the allocation of land.
