Maharashtra Forms Committee to Regularise Pre-2011 Encroachments in Mumbai and Pune
The Maharashtra government has formed a 10-member committee to develop a comprehensive policy for regularising residential encroachments on government land in Mumbai, Pune, and Pimpri-Chinchwad that existed before January 1, 2011. The committee, led by the Konkan Divisional Commissioner and including municipal and land record officials, is tasked with submitting recommendations within three months. This move follows earlier exclusions of these areas from a March 2026 policy and aims to address concerns raised by local administrations.
