CM Eknath Shinde Directs JNPT To Implement Traffic Control Measures

Published

on

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has given a number of directions to undertake vital traffic management measures in an effort to lessen the severe traffic congestion caused by vehicles from the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT). To guarantee improved traffic management, these steps include controlling the flow of large cars from JNPT and hiring more traffic wardens.

The Chief Minister has ordered that large trucks entering from JNPT be restricted in order to optimize traffic flow and avoid more traffic bottlenecks. To oversee these initiatives, the Thane Collector has been designated as the Nodal Officer.

The urgent need to patch potholes on the roadways that connect JNPT to Panvel, Pune, and Thane was again stressed by Chief Minister Shinde. In order to help the Navi Mumbai Police handle traffic from Navi Mumbai, Panvel, and the JNPT sectors, he gave CIDCO the order to send out 200 traffic wardens. JNPT is also responsible for supplying cranes so that large trucks may be handled more effectively.

The Chief Minister gave the order to build dedicated parking areas at Sonale, Padgha, and Asangaon on the Nashik highway in order to better control the parking of large trucks. In addition, he directed the Konkan Divisional Commissioner to send out a joint notification to halt heavy traffic between the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. and 11 p.m.

He further emphasized how critical it is to do the required repairs, such as patching potholes and keeping drains clean. He ordered a daily evaluation of the project’s progress to guarantee its timely completion.

Over The Mangrove Cutting Behind T.S. Chanakya Maritime Institute, A New FIR Has Been Filed

Published

on

The Belapur Circle Officer filed a new First Information Report (FIR) on September 17, 2024, in response to the chopping of mangroves behind the T.S. Chanakya Maritime Institute. This action took place six months after the incident in March 2024, which alarmed individuals who care about the environment and are now calling for prompt action to save the surviving mangrove plants.

In March 2024, environmental activists Sunil Agarwal and Advocate Pradeep Patole used the Mangrove Suraksha App to file complaints against the removal of 150 mangroves in the area.

Sources were the first to raise the problem, and the activists quickly got a response from the app. Based on these concerns, a team of police conducted an area survey on April 29, 2024. Declaring the results of the site inspection, Advocate Patole said, “Since the sites are under the ownership rights of CIDCO, action should be taken through CIDCO first.”

This most recent FIR is the second one filed about the mangrove cutting in this area, and four months have gone since that inspection.

The Save Navi Mumbai Environment Group’s founder, Sunil Agarwal, stated, “More than 150 mangrove trees have been cut, and a FIR was filed against an unknown person, despite Mistry Construction Company being the primary beneficiary of these incidents.” Along with other activists, he urges CIDCO to take the required actions to protect the remaining mangroves and requests that the Revenue Department act immediately.

MNS demands housing regularization for project victims and LIG families in Navi Mumbai.

The Demand

The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has taken a firm stance on the housing issue in Navi Mumbai, demanding the regularization of homes extended by project victims. At a press conference, MNS city President Gajanan Kale criticized local MLAs for making false promises and failing to address these concerns. He called for the regularization of extended homes built by Lower Income Group (LIG) families in areas like Nerul, Belapur, and Airoli.

Gajanan Kale announced the party’s plan to launch a ‘Parivartan Yatra’ from September 25 to October 2 in the Belapur Assembly to engage with Navi Mumbai residents on critical issues such as education, healthcare, and employment. He proposed a government audit of all CBSE, ICSE, and private schools to prevent fee hikes, offering relief to parents.

On employment, Kale praised the state’s directive mandating 80% local employment in 929 Navi Mumbai companies and promised to gather youth bio-data during the yatra to support job placements.

Addressing healthcare, Kale criticised municipal hospitals for poor services, alleging incidents of expired medicines being prescribed. The MNS aims to push for a uniform tariff in private hospitals to curb exploitation by large healthcare providers.
