Ulhasnagar has always been riddled with the problem of dangerous and dilapidated buildings. There was a demand to set up a transit camp in the city to resettle the displaced people from these buildings. Finally, the necessary funds for the construction of the transition camp have been received and the construction of this camp will be started soon. The government has approved a fund of INR 23 crores for Ulhasnagar city.
Ulhasnagar city is known as the city of displaced persons. Due to increasing population and insufficient space, buildings were erected in the city in a very dense manner. Many of those buildings were erected without permission. While taking action against these unauthorised buildings, the municipal administration broke the slabs of these buildings at that time. But after some time the builders added it again and brought the buildings into use. Also, during the nineties in the city, buildings were erected using inferior quality materials. The rate of collapse of these buildings has increased in the last few years. After the collapse of the building, the issue of the houses of the residents of the building was coming to the fore.
There was a constant demand that there should be an alternative arrangement by the municipality for such residents, there should be an alternative arrangement for the residents of dangerous, under-construction buildings, and for that, a transit camp should be set up. Along with this, the local people's representatives also demanded from time to time that the municipality should have its own system in case of a calamity in the city. Local MP Dr. Shrikant Shinde took the initiative and demanded funds for this from the government. Accordingly, a fund of INR 23 crores has been made available through the Disaster Management and Relief and Rehabilitation Department of the State Revenue and Forest Department. This has paved the way for the construction of the much awaited transit camp. The construction of this centre will be started soon. After the construction of this centre, the major inconvenience of Ulhasnagar and some nearby towns will end. Also, a rightful and safe shelter will be available on a temporary basis to the needy who are in distress during the calamity.
Disaster management systems work promptly and proactively to deal with calamities like floods, landslides, earthquakes, building collapses, fires. During such calamities, the personnel of the disaster management system are saving the lives of common citizens by risking their own lives. However, after evacuation of citizens from natural or unnatural calamities, they all need temporary but safe shelter until permanent shelter is provided for these citizens. At such times, they are shifted to various safe places.
