330 persons with disabilities receive self-employment booths in Navi Mumbai
In Navi Mumbai through a lottery held at the Vishnudas Bhave auditorium in Vashi last week, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) allocated self-employment stalls to 330 people with special needs. Three stages of the draw were held in an open and transparent manner.
Following the draw, a large number of people with disabilities voiced their delight with the municipal corporation’s initiative made on their behalf and their sentiment that this was a historic turning point for them.
At the start of the lottery, Additional Commissioner Sanjay Kakde provided comprehensive information on the ongoing follow-up and the complete procedure of CIDCO on behalf of the Municipal Corporation to provide space for self-employment to individuals with disabilities.
According to the public announcement that was made in February 2019 on the creation of a “waiting list” for chances for people with various abilities to work for themselves through the NMMC, a total of 714 applications were received.

Around Digha Railway Station, Negligence Causes Massive Water Wastage
Ignorance leads to huge water wastage near Digha Railway station.
The Wastage
In another case of carelessness, on Wednesday, March 27, a large water pipeline next to the Digha train station was damaged, wasting litres of water. In addition to upsetting locals, this event has drawn criticism for the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation’s (NMMC) poor response.
After this occurrence, the NMMC, which was given the task of supervising the construction of citizen amenities, has come under investigation. While there are development projects going on in a number of places, a serious mistake happened close to the Digha railway station on the Thane Belapur route.
A large-water pipe that supplied Digha with water was accidently damaged by a JCB when the M/s Light Strong Company was working on excavation. The large-water pipe burst, resulting in the loss of lakhs of litres of water.
Municipal authorities were notified promptly, yet they did not move decisively against the contractor in question. Locals voiced their displeasure, drawing attention to a persistent problem where contractors appear to start work without proper supervision or responsibility.
“Irrational contractors begin work at their convenience with the tacit approval of Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation officials,” said one resident. Millions of gallons of water were wasted when a water conduit ruptured close to the Digha railway station while the business was excavating. But neither the contractor nor the executives of the municipal corporation can bear all the blame.
“It is unacceptable to waste water. Additionally, such carelessness should not be tolerated now that summer has arrived. Another neighbor stated, “We hope NMMC takes action against such contractors.”

Prices Of Lemons Rise As Heatwave Hits City
As Summer & heatwaves strikes, the prices of lemon rise.
The Rise
Since the region has been immersed in intense heat and rising temperatures, lemons have become an extremely popular item in the city. Lemons are becoming an expensive luxury for many people as a result of their record-high costs, which are causing concern among the general public.
The retail market claims that the price of a single lemon has increased dramatically to Rs. 10 per piece, which is a substantial rise over prior months. Some people are so shocked by this increase that they are restricting how much lemon they eat.
Costs have increased overall as a result of the equivalent rise in lemon prices in wholesale marketplaces. The low salaries that define the present economic landscape put more burden on households that are already struggling financially.
The problem has been made worse by the increase in demand for lemons, which is ascribed to their cooling powers during the intense heat. Lemons are also essential for a number of culinary procedures, including the manufacture of lemon juice and the extraction of sugarcane juice.
According to a lemon merchant Varsha Sadanand Devkar. “Over the past 50 years, we have been selling lemons. But since the start of April, the cost has increased. We now sell three lemons for Rs. 25 and six for Rs. 50, while a single lemon costs Rs. 10 a piece.”
