Published

on

In Kharghar sector 15, a section of the road recently collapsed, causing damage to the compound wall, electrical distribution panel boxes, and storm water drainage. The catastrophe happened as a result of construction-related excavation and nonstop rain. The route connects the Panvel City Municipal Corporation’s (PCMC) urban public health facilities. In the meantime, a tree fall incidence recorded in sector 6, New Panvel (East), obstructing the road on Friday morning, damaged an MSEDCL power supply feeder box and a car. Plastic barrels and other materials have long been stored on the vital roadside pathway. Even a few builders have thrown building supplies, wires, equipment, sand, and dirt on the road (without paying royalties).The unlawful action has been ongoing for a while. Raju Shetye, a peasant from Kopra, had protested to the PCMC more than a week prior.

Only the plastic drums and a few other things had been taken off the sidewalk by PCMC officials, but they had been kept nearby rather than seized. For building, the roadside plot (number 38) was excavated. The road collapsed as a consequence of the heavy downpour-related water flowing into the pit and destroying a girder the builder had put on the side of the road. Raju Shetye, a resident of Kopra village, claimed, “The PCMC didn’t care to take my complaint seriously.

Infrastructure like as roads, storm drains, electrical supply networks, etc. suffered severe damages. Who will pay for all of the harm and suffering that a power outage causes to people? Nilesh Baviskar, a former local corporator, said that the PCMC ward officer in Kharghar has not been transferred despite serving for three years and does not take concerns seriously. The relationship between government agents, entrepreneurs, and builders has exacerbated several problems. Jitendra Madhvi, the Kharghar ward officer, did not return our calls or texts. Captain APS Talwar (retired), a new resident of Panvel, stated: “The road was blocked for an hour due to the tree fall incident.”
