Pimpri Chinchwad, 13th November 2026: The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) will allot free flats to the legal heirs of eight of the nine workers who died in the accident at the Moshi garbage depot on July 8, 2026. The flats, available with the civic body under a Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) project in Yashwantnagar, Pimpri, will be allotted following an order issued by municipal commissioner Dr Vijay Suryawanshi.
According to the order, the allotment of free flats to the legal heirs of eight deceased workers was approved through a proposal cleared on November 5. The beneficiaries include Ashwini Rahul Gaikwad, wife of deceased Rahul Dhondiba Gaikwad; Shivubai Mahesh Kumbhar, wife of Mahesh Suresh Kumbhar; Harshada Suresh Bane, wife of Akshay Raju Sawant; Sunita Waman Kasbe, wife of Waman Dagdu Kasbe; Kanchan Sunny Mane, wife of Sunny Ashok Mane; Pallavi Sunil Korke, wife of Sunil Bharat Korke; Mohini Bhavesh Wani, wife of Bhavesh Mohan Wani; and Chhaya Jaywant Patil, mother of Ranjit Jaywant Patil.
The allotment process for the legal heirs of Nagesh Gaikwad, the ninth worker who died in the accident, is pending as the required documents have not yet been submitted. The civic administration will initiate the allotment process once the documentation is completed.
The PCMC general body had earlier approved financial assistance of Rs 10 lakh each for the legal heirs of the deceased workers. Following the approval, the civic body completed the necessary formalities and disbursed the compensation to the families.
The proposal to provide free flats to the families was approved by the general body through a resolution passed on September 2, 2026. Subsequently, the Slum Rehabilitation and Eradication Department initiated the process under the guidance of commissioner Suryawanshi and deputy commissioner Anna Bodade. Eight flats have now been made available for allotment under the SRA project in Yashwantnagar.
Suryawanshi said the civic administration stood firmly with the families of the workers who died in the Moshi garbage depot accident and was extending all possible assistance to them during the difficult period. Apart from financial assistance, the administration was committed to providing permanent housing and ensuring the rehabilitation of the affected families, he said.
