ilip Mehta, president of the Phursungi environment conservation committee, says the PMC had stopped the garbage depot in Kothr ud because citizens there had complained of foul odour. “In 1991, the PMC acquired 43 acre land in Uruli Devachi for a garbage dump. In 2004, the MPCB asked the PMC to look for another dumping ground and they along with Pune leaders very cleverly acquired another 120 acre land from Phursungi and Mantarwadi, adjacent to Uruli Devachi dump. Since then, the corporation has been dumping garbage in the name of processing it,” says Mehta. Locals have, however, stayed on in the hope that they would one day be able to monetise the land they own, once the villages are able to shed their garbage tag, even as they battle multiple concerns. For instance, there is an unusual social problem these three villages face – a majority of houses here don’t have any visitors, ever. “Even relatives don’t visit us. And when we visit them, the first question they ask is about the garbage. They say we even smell different,” says a local resident. Many families have been living here before the garbage depot was planted right at their doorstep, and others stay here as they cannot afford to live elsewhere. The stigma is not limited to social interactions alone, with the stench denting realty prices as well. “Kothrud has developed and look at what has happened to us. The garbage depot has become the identity of our villages,” says Mehta. Locals say they are struggling to get rid of this garbage dump and more importantly the garbage

The heaps of garbage have also turned into concrete ground for political posturing. Young leaders from across political parties agitate against the PMC when it suits them politically.

The NCP has switched to the villagers’ side, standing up for their rights. Governments change, but political statements remain much the same.

TIMES CITY | SPECIAL REPORT
It is true that villagers have suffered because of the garbage dump all these years and now we need to find sustainable solution.” Shiv Sena’a Purandar MLA Vijay Shivtare, who had led many agitations in the past, said recently that discussions, not agitations can yield a solution. Civic officials maintain they started capping process at the dumpsite in 2012, which includes scientific closure, reclamation, resource extraction and post-closure maintenance. The process is important to prevent fires that can be caused due to the production of flammable gases. “The project is being implemented in accordance with the provisions of the Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986 and the Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000 and includes a leachate collection and a gas extraction system. Then a green cover will be developed on the capped area,” said Suresh Jagtap, head of PMC’s solid waste management cell. The work is currently underway and work on one patch of the dumpsite has been completed so far. Curiously, the central government had awarded Pune for its "best efforts" to manage its garbage that had even the staunchest government loyalists wonder the logic behind the acclaim. National and international experts and

n a weekday afternoon, a group of women in Phursungi stand in a huddle around a public water tap connected to a newly-laid PMC pipeline, a perk offered to the village for putting up with the city’s garbage for years. With water in its wells and borewells contaminated, one part of the village depends on this water tap and another on PMC’s water tankers. The water supply is as much a perk as it is a tool in the hands of the municipal corporation to ensure that villagers don’t protest. Locals say the civic body and city leaders stop water supply if they protest against garbage dumping – an annual ritual when villagers block entry of garbage vehicles for a few days. “There are days when we don’t have water even in our toilets if the PMC doesn’t send tankers. Wells in the village have enough water, but it has turned toxic with the leachate from garbage dump,” says a villager. “We have large tracts of family land here and we once owned a massive custard apple and banana cultivation, but we have abandoned it as the water in the two wells that once supported horticultural activity is now tarlike. Whatever little agriculture is left in the village depends on canal water,” adds Harpale who is also the president of Saswad Road Doctors’ Association.

The frustration has only increased with the realty boom in Pune and its fringes. Sanjay Harpale, a young politician and former sarpanch of Phursungi, says, “We have land, but we cannot cultivate it. We are eager to get into realty business, but who will buy flats near a garbage depot.” Sanjay further notes: “Hadapsar is just 2 km from Phursungi. The ongoing property rates there start from Rs 6,000-7,000 per sq ft. In our villages, the rate hovers between Rs 2,000-3,000 per sq ft.

CAJOLE ESSE RESURRECTION OF THE DERELICT This Entrance View of the Research Centre Main Building shows how staircase is kept the key component of the interior space and the built and unbuilt spaces are connected by levels on each floor. These bridges act as tansition spaces. Also creating public spaces at various nodes. As seen in the view the Southern side has a green facade, viz. a combination of green, concrete, and glass panels. The western and eastern facade have jali wall, letting the wind blow in for cross ventilation. The central atrium space helps take in maximum sunlight into the structure.
VIEWS EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR
Moreover clusters have been designed and used to suffice the requirements of each discipline. Phase 3 which is an extension of Phase ! has additional Forest research and Agriculture Research Institutes so the same designed module can be repeated and clusters can be formed according to the need.
RESEARCH CENTRE
Along with this there are other 3 disciplines of institutes, viz. Environmental Science, Bio-technology, and Gio-Informatics. A modular planning has been done for the same.
Understanding the soil conditions because of the solid waste dump was another critical aspect for which study - Anistropy of Solid Waste was done parallely.
