Cidco wants the Kharghar-Turbhe connection road approved by the government
Only after MSDRC put the construction of the 5.49-kilometer Kharghar Turbhe Link Road (KTLR) for direct connectivity between Turbhe and Kharghar International Corporate Park on hold due to a disagreement over the project’s funding by Cidco and MIDC authorities, the Cidco board on Monday decided to proceed with the project and bear the entire cost of Rs 1282.37 crore. Cidco then submitted a proposal to the state government’s urban development department (UDD) on Tuesday, seeking authorization to undertake the KTLR project. As a result, before beginning construction, Cidco will get the necessary approvals from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.
“Cidco has proposed that the Principal Secretary of State UDD select Cidco as the nodal agency for conducting the KTLR project,” stated Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee, Cidco managing director. As a result, preliminary project work has begun, including the amendment of MSRDC’s DPR (Detailed Project Report), legislative clearances, and design work.” “The KTLR project was required as an alternative route to decongest the significant traffic movement on the Sion-Panvel highway,” Mukherjee continued. Commuters traveling on the arterial Thane-Belapur Road will use the KTLR corridor as well.” “The KTLR corridor would create a link between the major Sion-Panvel highway and the International Corporate Park in Kharghar,” Cidco spokeswoman Gandhali Bhokare said.
The 1.763-kilometer-long tunnel, which will be part of the 5.490-kilometer-long KTLR, will run through the Kharghar hills, with raised approaches allowing direct communication between Turbhe and Kharghar. Cidco proposes upgrading a 3+3 lane road to a 4+4 lane road. It will save roughly 30 minutes of travel time between Kharghar and Turbhe. The process of hiring consultants to assess the viability of the project has also begun. Cidco would bear the whole cost of the KTLR project, which is expected to cost Rs 1282.37 crore. The KTLR project will not be shared by MSRDC and MIDC at this time.”

When The Unlicensed Driver Pressed The Accelerator Rather Than The Brake, The Kharghar Joyride Turned Tragic
Kharghar Joyride Turns Tragic As Unlicensed Driver Hits Accelerator Instead Of Brake.
The Ride
Six Engineering College students were on a joyride when their automobile struck a divider and overturned in an attempt to avoid a pothole, resulting in one death and one injury. The automobile’s driver, Arnav Birari (18), accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake while attempting to avoid a pothole on the road heading to Gurudwara in Kharghar. This caused the car to collide with the road divider and overturn.
Birari and his five pals from NMIM College in Kharghar decided to have a joy ride in his father’s automobile on Tuesday afternoon, which is when the event occurred. Darsh Jain (18) was recognized as the deceased student, and Yash Maurya (18) was identified as the injured student. Paik Sawariya (18), Kumari Agrim Parashar (18), and the case’s complainant, Atharv Rawat (18), were the other passengers in the vehicle. They were all freshmen studying computer engineering at Kharghar’s N.M.I.M. College.
On October 8, Birari had driven his father’s Wagon R vehicle to college. He took five of his classmates on a trip in Kharghar around 1:15 p.m. He was trying to dodge a pothole on the road in front of a Gurudwara. The car scraped the road divider when he swung the steering wheel to the right. Police said that Birari became confused and pressed the accelerator rather than the brake, sending the car hurtling ahead and crashing into the road barrier, which caused it to topple over.
A stone used to build the divider struck the rear right window glass when the automobile overturned, striking Jain’s head and seriously injuring him. When the physicians arrived at the hospital, they proclaimed Jain dead, but all of the students were able to exit the vehicle, pull him out, and rush him there. After the preliminary inquiry, Kharghar police discovered that Birari, the driver, lacked a driver’s license and filed a complaint against him for his careless driving without a permit and negligence that resulted in death.

Residents Of Uran Want NMMT Bus Services To Resume
Uran residents demand the resumption of NMMT bus services.
The Service
Students, workers, and business people’s daily commutes have been significantly hampered by the several-month-long suspension of Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT) bus services in Uran. Residents have been forced to rely on expensive and unreliable private transportation due to the lack of public transportation, which has caused major delays and inconvenience.
Private vehicle drivers are harassing local commuters and charging exorbitant prices, especially for those going to Navi Mumbai for business or school. Given these difficulties, Uran City Congress Committee members, Morning Katta leaders, and senior residents met with Dr. Kailas Shinde, Commissioner of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC), to insist on the immediate restoration of NMMT bus services.
The group emphasized how the lack of dependable public transportation has interfered with daily routines and the general annoyance of Uran locals. To further encourage the return of bus services, a signature drive was launched as a gesture of support.
In response to the citizens’ worries, Commissioner Dr. Kailas Shinde gave them his word that action would be done to promptly resume NMMT bus service in Uran. Prakash Patil, the president of the Uran City Congress Committee, Abhay Ved Pathak, former corporator Afsha Mukari, and other local leaders attended the gathering and emphasized the importance of the service for the welfare of the community.
