An Action against Fr. Agnel junior college is demanded by Shiv Sena (UBT).

The Action

Following the unfortunate death of a student during a swimming lesson, the member of the Shiv Sena (UBT) Belapur Legislative Assembly has urged for prompt legal action against Fr. Agnel Junior College in Vashi, Navi Mumbai. The event has sparked new questions about the qualifications and expertise of the swimming instructors at the institution.

The tragic victim, named as 17-year-old Mayur Adinath Dhamale, passed away at the college’s pool during a usual swimming session. The student’s life was not rescued even though there was a designated lifeguard there, which raises major concerns about the effectiveness of safety protocols and the qualifications of staff members tasked with ensuring the well-being of students.

Such an event has previously affected Fr. Agnel Junior College. Authorities are under increasing pressure to carry out a comprehensive inquiry into the frequent safety failings afflicting the school, since this tragedy serves as a terrifying reminder of a previous one in which another girl lost her life in 2016.

To discuss the urgent problem, important parties gathered, including Deputy Commissioner Yogesh Kaduskar, officials from the Department of Education, and members of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation. Demands for strict measures to hold the swimming pool coach and school management accountable for their alleged carelessness were expressed at the meeting.

The members underlined the critical need for openness and urged the authorities to carefully examine CCTV evidence in order to determine the exact sequence of events that resulted in the student’s untimely death. Furthermore, demands have been made for the swimming instructors to prove their life-saving skills in front of pertinent authorities, such as the senior police officers and the deputy commissioner of education.

In the midst of this devastating catastrophe, Nikhil Mandve, Mayur Breathe, Satish Ramane, Siddharam Shilwant, and Sushil Surve were among those in attendance, urging justice and responsibility.

Due to the heatwave that was affecting the weather, Mumbai’s highest temperature on Tuesday hit 40 degrees Celsius around 7:30 pm. Mumbaikars struggled to make it through the day due to the intense heat. On Wednesday, the heatwave is still most likely. Not only did Mumbai have a very hot day, but its surrounding towns, such as Thane and Navi Mumbai, also did.

The IMD Santacruz observatory reported a high temperature of 39.7 degrees earlier in the day. This value was 6.3 higher than average. According to a media source, it was also the warmest daytime temperature the city has seen in ten years. It’s important to remember that the city has had much hotter days, with a high of 41 degrees on March 25, 2018.

In the meanwhile, daytime temperatures at the IMD Colaba observatory recorded 35.2 degrees, which is 2.3 degrees higher than average. By 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Thane’s temperature had risen to 43.0 degrees Celsius. According to the media report, Thane reported daytime temperatures of 42.8 degrees Celsius earlier in the day, while the Navi Mumbai observatory in Rabale recorded highest temperatures of 42 degrees.

IMD issued an orange notice for Tuesday’s forecast, saying that “Heat wave to severe heat wave conditions in isolated pockets are very likely”. In the meanwhile, the meteorological service has forecast a heatwave for April 17. Mumbai saw its hottest night of the year on Monday. The IMD Santacruz observatory reported a low temperature of 27.5 degrees. It’s three degrees warmer than usual.

For the cops, now open gym & badminton court has been unveiled.

The Facilities

An open gym and a badminton court are two new initiatives that the Central Business District (CBD) Police Station in Navi Mumbai has presented as part of a proactive effort to prioritize the physical and mental well-being of its officers and personnel. Leading the charge on this initiative is Senior Police Inspector Giridhar Gore, who wants to motivate law enforcement officers to include exercise into their hectic workdays.

Milind Bharambe, the commissioner of police in Navi Mumbai, has praised the initiative, which highlights how law enforcement organizations are beginning to recognize the significance of officer wellness. He underlined the value of these initiatives in encouraging a wellness culture among police officers while underlining the difficulties brought on by the demanding nature of their work. Commissioner Bharambe has implemented an open gym and badminton court as part of a larger plan to improve police working conditions and community policing initiatives. The Central Issues Cell (EMC) pilot program, which was launched in the Navi Mumbai Police Commissionerate last month, is a key component of this approach.

By moving took vehicles to a special facility in Taloja, this project solves the long-standing problem of seized vehicles clogging police premises and maximizes space at various police station grounds.

The effectiveness of these approaches is demonstrated by the change that has occurred in the CBD Belapur police station. After the confiscated cars were moved to the EMC building, empty areas in the station complex were converted into the open gym and badminton court. These facilities, which are supported by the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation, are designed to give officers the chance to put their health and wellbeing first throughout their demanding 24-hour work shifts.

Aware of the negative effects extended work hours may have on police officers’ physical and emotional well-being, Commissioner Bharambe emphasized the significance of programs like the open gym and badminton court. These facilities support the police force’s emotional and physical well-being in addition to encouraging physical fitness.

Along with other top police officers, Navi Mumbai Police Commissioner Bharambe attended the Open Gym’s launch and expressed gratitude for the project and its potential to improve the health and well-being of police officers.
