For renewal, applications will have to be done a month before the expiry date. The licence will be issued for a year and expire on December 31 each year. If the commissioner is satisfied, the licence will be granted on payment of Rs 400. Now, anyone who wants to run a public swimming pool, will have to obtain a licence from the police and adhere to these rules,” Pathak told Mirror.Īccording to these rules, people will have to apply to the commissioner for licence, submit a plan of the pool and other matters relevant to its keeping and conduct. “Though guidelines existed in the past, we have revised them for public safety. There are over 400 swimming pools in the city.Īccording to provisions of the Bombay Police Act, commissioner of police K K Pathak made the rules last week, titling it the ‘Pune Police Commissionerate Swimming Pools (Licensing and Controlling) Rules, 2015’. However, contractors and those running swimming pools are sceptical about these rules, saying they now have to answer to the police and to the civic body.Ībout four years back, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) had framed guidelines after several deaths occurred in the pools. In order to ensure that safety standards are maintained at swimming pools, the Pune city police have framed a set of rules and made it mandatory for those running pools in Pune and Pimpri- Chinchwad to have a licence from the police. Those running swimming pools are not impressed, saying they will now have two bosses - PMC and the police.
