A Awareness Campaign was organised by NMMC to mark World Tuberculosis day.

The Campaign

As part of its ambitious plan to eradicate TB from India by 2025, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) held a number of events to raise awareness and combat the illness on World TB Day.

Across its jurisdiction, NMMC planned a variety of programs with the aim of reaching an 80% reduction in TB incidence compared to 2015 and a 90% reduction in TB-related mortality. Patients participating in the National Tuberculosis Eradication Program are eligible for free examinations and medicines at 24 civil primary health centers, three public hospitals, and Mata Baal Hospital in the NMMC region.

The World Health Organization observes March 24th as World Tuberculosis Day each year. “Yes! We Can End TB” is this year’s theme, which emphasizes the significance of teamwork in the fight against the illness. In keeping with this, NMMC held a rangoli competition at NMMC hospitals as well as an awareness initiative for children in nearby schools. At the settlement level, street plays were performed, especially in slums and high-risk regions. Public gatherings, patient consultations, and staff training sessions were also planned.

In order to contribute, Terna Medical College and DY Patil Medical College held poster contests, seminars, street performances, and patient education sessions.

TB patients receive a direct payment of Rs. 500 into their bank accounts under the National Tuberculosis Eradication Program’s “Nikshay Poshan Yojana” till their treatment is finished. Furthermore, referrals of suspected cases of tuberculosis to government hospitals are awarded with Rs. 500, and those who assist in the successful completion of tuberculosis treatment are paid with Rs. 1000.

To eradicate TB, cooperation between public and private health services is essential. Hospitals, clinics, and labs in the private sector are all encouraged to disclose information on tuberculosis patients receiving treatment.

The NMMC stresses that with teamwork, TB may be completely eradicated from Navi Mumbai. To render Navi Mumbai tuberculosis-free, residents and private groups are asked to work closely with the municipal administration.

Residents Are Urged By The NMMC To Pay Their Property Taxes Before The Deadline

NMMC has requested all the residents to pay property tax ahead of deadline.

The Deadline

With the end of the fiscal year approaching, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) is pleading with residents to pay their property taxes by the impending deadline of March 31.

One of the NMMC’s most important sources of funding for development projects and other public facilities is property tax. The company launched the ‘Malmattakar Abhay Yojana’ on February 29, 2024, in an attempt to simplify tax recovery procedures. If taxpayers pay at least 50% of their past-due property tax balance plus the penalty between March 21 and March 31, 2024, they will receive a 50% discount on the penalty component of their dues under this scheme.

The corporation emphasizes that it is critical for residents to take advantage of this chance to significantly lower penalties associated with unpaid property taxes. Furthermore, residents are asked to support the growth of the city by making sure that their outstanding property taxes are paid on time before to the approaching anniversary.

All eight divisional offices of the NMMC will have civic facilities centers and property tax payment outlets open during business hours, including holidays, until March 31 in order to make tax payments more easy.

The NMMC is urging those who have unpaid property tax arrears to pay up quickly by offering a 50% penalty remission through the Abhay Yojana as part of a special appeal. The corporation emphasizes that in order to support the growth and welfare of the city, it is imperative that both arrears be cleared and current-year property taxes be paid by March 31.

The breakdown of violations included instances of riding motorcycles without helmets, driving under the influence of alcohol, overloading rickshaws with passengers, talking on cell phones while driving, obstructive parking, driving the wrong way, driving on sidewalks, and failing to stop at designated lines.
