When contacted, PCMC assistant municipal commissioner Sudhir Joshi said it was the responsibility of the respective divisional heads to ensure no new slum came up in their area. PCMC 'C' division head R D Gaikwad said it was executive engineer Vithal Mahadik’s job to remove encroachers.
Mahadik said he had not seen the new slum, but hastened to add that the Pune-Nashik highway is looked after by executive engineer Rajan Patil.
When contacted, Patil said the land comes under the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation. “I will contact MIDC officials and we will take joint action against the encroachers,” he said.
