Residents of Sector 18 in Kharghar claim that an elevated storage reservoir (ESR) water tank that has been in operation for the past three months has failed to address the area’s water problems. Despite Cidco boosting the water supply by 15 MLD, residents of mass housing complexes like Vastu Vihar in sector 16 and Spaghetti and Gharkul in sector 15 experience water problems. As per the risk and cost condition for the ESR water tank, Cidco did not record the sum it had collected from the contractor. The new ESR water tank, with a capacity of 2 MLD, was built by Cidco.
Cone-shaped ESR water tank was being built by Cidco through a contractor when it collapsed in 2006 as a result of subpar workmanship. The black listing process against the contractor was initiated as a result of the water tank collapse. Concerns were raised regarding Cidco’s payment to and recovery from the contractor. From 2011 forward, Cidco began building a water tank with a new design and a 2 MLD capacity on the aforementioned land. After a significant public outcry over the lack of water, the water tank just recently—three months ago—became operational. There are still water problems in some areas like Gharkul, Spaghetti, Vastu Vihar, etc. According to Kanchan Kumar, a resident in sector 18, the water supply to some regions has significantly improved.
Kailash Shinde, joint managing director of Cidco, stated that the water delivery amount in the Kharghar node has risen from 62 MLD to 80 MLD. The problems will be examined. The Cidco water supply superintending engineer P B Mul responded to our inquiry by saying, “Records of the over ten-year-old collapsed water tank is being looked at.” Amit K. Parida

Rain situation of Navi Mumbai was closely monitored by NMMC Commissioner Dr. Kailas Shinde.
The Condition
Municipal Commissioner Dr. Kailas Shinde has been keeping a close eye on the careful preparation of the city’s emergency relief system in response to the persistently high tide and severe rainfall that have affected Navi Mumbai.
After the rainstorm that started on July 24, 2024, at night, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation has been placed on high alert. After a thorough inspection of the municipal headquarters’ emergency management room, Commissioner Shinde instructed department heads to keep an eye on and control water build-up in their specific regions.
More safety measures have been implemented as a result of the Meteorological Department’s prediction of prolonged periods of excessive rainfall and tides. To protect the safety of the students, all municipal schools were closed on July 25. Teachers and principals were told to halt afternoon classes and securely bring pupils home.
Significant precipitation was seen in Navi Mumbai, according to rainfall statistics, with averages of 67.43 mm from July 24 8:30 am to July 25, 8:30 am, and 60.41 mm from July 25, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, reported. Koparkhairane and Digha were among the areas with the highest reports. In addition, the risk of waterlogging in low-lying areas has increased due to high tide conditions at 4.54 meters.
Recent inspections have revealed that silt build-up and mangrove growth have reduced the capacity of eleven holding ponds intended for rainfall management. Due to their inability to handle the recent intense rains, these holding ponds—which are essential to the city’s flood control system—have accumulated water in certain places.
In order to solve this, the Municipal Corporation is presently pending before the High Court, requesting the required licenses for cleaning and upkeep of these ponds. In the meanwhile, drains and sewers have been cleaned out to provide for easier water drainage once the seas recede.
Commissioner Shinde has asked people to use caution and restrict their travel to just those that are absolutely necessary.

21-Year-Old Worker Arrested For Murdering Security Guard At Rabale, Navi Mumbai.
Case in Detail
A 21-year-old employee of a firm has been detained by Rabale MIDC police for the murder of a security officer employed by the same company. On Friday, the deceased, named as Narayan Manwar (58), was discovered dead on the company’s premises.
The Rabale MIDC police station received a report regarding an accidental death. The police discovered throughout the inquiry that it was a homicide. “Various inside injuries that resulted in internal bleeding and the deceased’s death were listed in the post mortem report. As a result, a murder case was filed on Tuesday, according to a policeman from the Rabale MIDC police station.
The police began reviewing the CCTV video of the roadways going to Steel Craft Equipment Pvt Ltd at Rabale MIDC, the scene of the incident, as part of their inquiry. Despite it being a holiday, Mohit Sheetala Hobe (21), an employee of the same company, was seen by the police going towards the company at approximately 6 p.m. on Friday.
After being taken into custody by the police and interrogated, Hobe admitted his involvement in the murder. On the day of the holiday, Hobe planned to enter the company to use the restroom and do his laundry. Manwar, who was on duty, refused to let him enter, casting doubt on Hobe’s intentions. When Manwar threatened to hold him accountable if Hobe stole anything from inside, Hobe became enraged and attacked Manwar with a stick of bamboo.
Following Hobe’s departure, Manwar—who had suffered several internal injuries—collapsed. By 8:00 p.m., onlookers had discovered Manwar was immobile and had notified the police. Manwar and Hobe lived in the Saibabnagar slum area. The defendant has been placed under arrest supervision until Saturday.
