Pune: Real estate developers across Pune have come forward to look after their site labourers. The city’s Commissioner of Police praised the developers for the same.
“Pune Developers have shown integrity in nation-building amid Corona crisis, and developers across Pune have readily come forward to look after their site labourers. Considering the current situation, work at the construction sites can be operational between 7 am to 7 pm except in containment zones,” said Dr K Venkatesham, Commissioner of Police, Pune.
Smoothen the construction activity
He was speaking at a Webinar session arranged by the National Real Estate Developers Council (NAREDCO) to smoothen the construction activity and clear all doubts of the developers. It was stated in the release shared by the NAREDCO.
Niranjan Hiranandani, National President of NAREDCO Members of NAREDCO including Rajan Bandelkar - Maharashtra President, Rajendra Pate - President NAREDCO Pune, Atul Goel, Mukesh Yeole, Bharat Agarwal and Abhay Kele committee members NAREDCO Pune, Rubal Agarwal, Addl Commissioner PMC, Umesh Joshi of J+W and Manoj Tatooskar Architect, participated in the discussions.
No entry in the containment zone
While replying to the questions from the developers, Dr K Venkatesham said, “All the supplies of building materials required for construction activity are already allowed, but any activity and travelling in containment zones is prohibited. Engineers, RCC consultants, Architects and specific labour will be permitted to travel from their place to site and back except in containment zone.”
He added saying that if any developer wants to work after 7 pm, he will need separate permission from Police, which will be issued within an hour after verifying the need.
Minimal staff
“Architects, RCC and other consultants can operate their offices with minimal staff to support the design drawings required on-site,” he said.
Rubal Agrawal, Addl Commissioner, PMC explained the precautionary measures that need to be taken on the site as per the directives of the civic authority. She said, “The developers should advise labourers with Diabetes to not enter the site and stay safe at the labour camps as Corona contamination is high in diabetic patients. No separate permission is required to resume work at the site.”
