Citizens can check their names and submit claims, objections or corrections under the Special Intensive Revision drive.

The Correction

Navi Mumbai residents have until September 30 to check their names and details in the draft electoral roll and submit corrections under the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) campaign.

The draft voter list was published on August 31. Citizens have been advised to carefully check their names, addresses and other details and report any errors, duplicate entries or other issues before the deadline. Those whose names are missing from the voter list can use Form 6 to apply for inclusion. Form 7 can be submitted to raise objections or request the removal of incorrect or duplicate entries. Form 8 is meant for correcting details such as name, age, address or photograph.

Applications can be submitted both online and offline. Residents can use the Election Commission’s Voter Services Portal, ECINET or the Voter Helpline for online applications. Offline applications can be submitted at the offices of the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) or Assistant Electoral Registration Officer (AERO).

Officials have urged citizens, particularly those who have recently turned 18, to verify their voter details and ensure their names are included in the electoral roll.

The authorities will examine the claims and objections received during the revision process. The final electoral roll is scheduled to be published on November 4, 2026. Citizens are encouraged to complete the process before the September 30 deadline to avoid missing the opportunity to correct their details.

Shivtej Mitra Mandal combines devotion, culture and social service during its annual Ganeshotsav celebrations.

The Mandal

The Shivtej Mitra Mandal in Sector 4, Sanpada, is celebrating its 33rd Ganeshotsav with a unique ‘Navi Mumbai Cha Kaiwari Sonyachi Jejuri’ theme. The mandal, which has been organising Ganeshotsav since 1994, has recreated the spiritual atmosphere of Jejuri through an elaborate decoration featuring a replica of Khandoba Maharaj. The theme has attracted devotees from across Navi Mumbai, with the chants of ‘Yelkot Yelkot Jai Malhar’ adding to the festive atmosphere.

Along with religious celebrations, the mandal has also focused on social and environmental causes. A blood donation camp, tree plantation drive and programmes honouring senior citizens and persons with disabilities have been organised as part of the festivities. The celebrations include a range of cultural and community activities, including drawing competitions, children’s games, women’s programmes, Maha Aarti, collective Atharvashirsha recitation, Satyanarayan Mahapuja, Mahaprasad and prize distribution.

The organisers said the aim is to make Ganeshotsav more than just a religious festival by bringing people together and encouraging social responsibility.

President Sagar Gadge, Vice-President Mangesh Kadam, Secretary Rahul Kashid and Working President Vishal Kadam, along with other members, are actively involved in organising the celebrations. Daily aarti is conducted at 10 am and 10 pm, with devotees invited to experience the ‘Sonyachi Jejuri’ theme and take part in the festivities.

Civic project aims to address long-pending sewage problems faced by residents of Annasaheb Patil Housing Society.

The Issues

Residents of Annasaheb Patil Cooperative Housing Society in Nerul Sector 8 are set to get relief from a long-pending sewage problem, with improvement work on the society’s sewage pipelines beginning recently. The work was inaugurated by Mayor Sujata Patil in the presence of BJP corporator Suraj Patil and local residents. The project was approved through the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) following repeated follow-up by the elected representatives.

The existing sewage infrastructure has been under pressure due to an increase in the number of families living in the society. Residents have reportedly faced recurring problems, making the pipeline improvement work an important requirement. Speaking at the inauguration, Mayor Sujata Patil said that although discussions on the redevelopment of the housing society were underway, the process would take time. Addressing the immediate civic needs of residents was therefore necessary.

She said that fulfilling the commitments made to citizens during the elections would remain a priority and that efforts would be made to improve basic amenities and bring wider development to Ward 23.

Corporator Suraj Patil said the sewage project was only the beginning of their development plans for the ward. He said the elected representatives were committed to addressing residents’ essential needs and working towards transforming the ward over the next five years. Social worker Ashok Atkari, advocate Ganesh Rasal, Yashwant Tande, society office-bearers and several residents attended the inauguration.
