15 Dec 2022 CW Team

Out of the 173 hectare needed for the Baramati-Phaltan-Lonand railway project, 131 hectare have been purchased by the Pune district administration. Due to local opposition, the acquisition of the final 40 hectare of property is in peril.

A total of 63.65 kilometre of the new Baramati-Phaltan-Lonand single-track route are in the Baramati Taluka. Land acquisition is currently taking place between Baramati and Lonand.

The district administration purchased the 131 hectare of land in the last three months.

9.38 hectare of property will be purchased in a few days after approximately 121 hectare of land have currently been purchased. The 40 hectare of land acquisition will continue after that.

In 12 Baramati taluka villages—Latte, Malwadi, Kurnewadi, Khamgalwadi, Barhanpur, Netpatwalan, Sonakswadi, Dhakale, Thoptewadi, Karhavagaj, Sawantwadi, and Tandulwadi—private land was purchased for the railway project.

A committee led by the collector decided on the land rates. The project would also transfer MIDC land in Katphal in addition to the 12 communities.

For the 7.5 hectare of land in the Baramati taluka, the government has made a request to the Baramati forest department.
