PMC’s Campaign for Property Tax Revision Gets a Massive Response
On the first two days of its campaign on property tax revision, the property tax department of Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) got an overwhelmingly positive reaction. On July 28, the campaign will come to a conclusion. It started on July 24.
In just three days, 337 residents have reportedly profited from this initiative, according to PMC’s Property Tax Department. Ganesh Deshmukh, the municipal commissioner, has urged the people in the municipal sector to benefit from this programme.
In just two days, 163 property owners have filed written complaints
A total of 51 property owners filed written complaints on the first day of the campaign, and 111 more did so on the second. Under the direction of Deputy Commissioner Ganesh Shete, the head of the Property Tax Department Sunil Bhoir, clerk Mahesh Gaikwad, and other officials immediately answered the concerns after confirming the applications submitted.
Property owners should file objection applications under this campaign if there is any inaccuracy in the measurement of the outside look of the property, if there is a difference in how it is used, or if there is taxation on lease while ownership. Similar to this, Section 129A is used to tax properties in gramme panchayat areas. If the owner of the land has any objections, these should be made in writing.
Additionally, property owners can submit their objection application to the municipality if they have any concerns about the completion certificate, occupancy certificate, tax levy from the date of use, unauthorised penalty levy, registration of name in primary taxation, or correction thereof.
Property owners should file their objection application under this campaign in case of taxation of untaxed properties in order to reconcile revenues paid during gramme panchayat, make small corrections to tax assessment, or make corrections to the initial taxation. Grandmothers and former service members who own property should take advantage of this initiative if they desire a reduction in their property tax payment.
The Adya Kranti veer Vasudev Balwant Phadke Theatre is accepting documentation and objection forms from property owners between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. on July 28. Under the property tax re-inspection campaign, dedicated teams will make changes to the bill at the location. Immediately following taking into account the property owners’ objections, the team members involved make modifications to the bill.
Ganesh mandal uses Ganeshotsav to spread awareness against addiction.
The Awareness
The Shivchhaya Mitra Mandal, popularly known as Navi Mumbaicha Raja, is using this year’s Ganeshotsav to promote a drug-free and healthy lifestyle. The mandal’s 56th Ganeshotsav is being organised at the CIDCO ground near ICL School in Sector 21, Turbhe. The celebrations began on September 14.
A major focus of this year’s festival is an anti-addiction campaign carrying the message “Say No to Drugs”. Through posters, banners and cut-outs, the mandal will create awareness about the harmful effects of alcohol, tobacco, gutkha, drugs, gambling and other addictive habits. The campaign promotes the message that a moment of pleasure can lead to lifelong problems, while staying away from addiction can lead to a happier life.
The festival will also include bhajans, spiritual programmes, blood donation and health camps, Annadan, Atharvashirsh recitation, Satyanarayan Mahapuja and felicitation of achievers. The mandal is also supporting tribal students from Wada and Mokhada in pursuing higher education after Classes 10 and 12.
Around 8 to 10 lakh devotees are expected to visit the pandal during the 12-day festival. A Satyanarayan Katha and Bhandara will be organised on September 24, with food arrangements for around 10,000 devotees.
Civic body prepares 192 immersion sites to support a smooth and eco-friendly Ganeshotsav.
The Ponds
The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has made arrangements for the smooth and eco-friendly celebration of Ganeshotsav 2026, which will be held from September 14 to 25. To reduce crowding and help prevent water pollution, the civic body has set up 170 artificial immersion ponds across the city, along with 22 natural immersion sites.
More than 140 Ganesh mandals have applied online for permission to install pandals. The NMMC has introduced a single-window system to make the approval process easier by bringing permissions from different departments together. Across all 192 immersion sites, arrangements have been made for volunteers, CCTV surveillance, electricity and generators. Medical teams will be deployed at 22 major immersion sites, while lifeguards and fire brigade personnel will also be available.
The civic body has arranged rafts at natural immersion sites and separate facilities for wet and dry nirmalya. Dedicated vehicles will collect floral waste and transport it to the processing facility in Turbhe. Road repairs and tree pruning along idol arrival and immersion routes have also been completed.
The NMMC has appealed to citizens to use artificial immersion ponds and celebrate Ganeshotsav in an eco-friendly manner, helping protect the city’s water bodies.
Initiative encourages residents, institutions and businesses to take responsibility for spaces around their premises.
The Launch
The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has launched the Angan Adoption Scheme 2026 under the Sugandhi City Campaign, encouraging citizens to take responsibility for the cleanliness and upkeep of public spaces near their homes, shops and institutions.
The initiative was inaugurated by Maharashtra Forest Minister and Palghar Guardian Minister Ganesh Naik. During the programme, appreciation certificates were presented to individuals who had already come forward to adopt public spaces. A web portal for the campaign was also launched, along with a booklet explaining its objectives.
Mayor Sujata Patil, Deputy Mayor Dashrath Bhagat, former MP Sanjeev Naik, former MLA Sandeep Naik, House Leader Sagar Naik and other elected representatives and citizens attended the event. Addressing the gathering, Ganesh Naik said the initiative could help Navi Mumbai move towards becoming the cleanest city in the country. He stressed that cleanliness should not be limited to appearances, but should involve genuine public participation.
Deputy Mayor Dashrath Bhagat explained that the scheme focuses on three key elements—places, spaces and people. Residents, schools, colleges, hospitals, factories, shops and other institutions can adopt even small areas outside their premises, keep them clean and prevent garbage from being dumped there. The campaign promotes the message, “My courtyard, my responsibility,” and aims to turn cleanliness into a shared responsibility among Navi Mumbai’s citizens.
