This will have little impact even if the political parties oppose the same. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the Shiv Sena will not be able to hamper the process considering that the court has already issued an order. The CIDCO VC & MD Sanjay Bhatia had cited that the HC would not be lenient even if the political commotion and chaos continues. The CIDCO will undertake a demolition drive in 15 villages. Now that the election is over and the Nationalist Congress Party though ruling in the city is opposed to the demolition, it will have little impact. The BJP after the political rout will go slow and the Shiv Sena may pitch in but it will have little impact. The political parties at this point of time have nothing to lose. There is no any kind of election approaching and hence they may oppose openly but may not resort to stringent opposition to the CIDCO action. There is a chance that the BJP will resort to its extra FSI stance which was granted at 4 level. This gives it the political benefit and will also help the rural people to get their construction done by using the extra FSI that is granted. It can be noted that the government notification was issued in 2014 by the state government for complete development of the villages besides looking in to the villagers’ demand for regularization of illegal houses constructed based on their requirement. The CIDCO says that all the 1657 illegal houses were constructed after 1 January 2013. Out of the same, 1021 such illegal constructions are within the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation’s jurisdiction, Cont. on pg. 4 Autos in waiting list to get permits soon By Meena R Prashant VASHI: The Deputy Regional Transport office has received instruction from the state transport authority to issue permits for those auto rickshaw in the waiting list of the last year online lottery draw. In Navi Mumbai, the Vashi RTO was allocated a total of 2687 new auto rickshaw permits for which applications were invited online. Of this 2019 applicants who won during the lottery draw held on Feb 26 were given permits. However, from the remaining 668 applicants around 319 were rejected because they failed to provide requisite documents and 349 applicants did not come forward to submit their documents before March 31 which was the extended deadline for the same. “We had already issued permits to 2019 applicants last year. Showcase notice was issued to 500 applicants for failure in providing necessary and correct information. Of this we got a few more corrected applications till March 31 but the rest of the 319 applicants failed to do so. However since we did not get any orders from the senior officials we could not issue the vacant permits to those in the waiting list,” said Sanjay Dhaygude, deputy RTO in Vashi. The officials said that those in the waiting list are now requested to come to the RTO office with all the required set of documents from May 18 to May 30.

The problem which has caused due to a short circuit burning down five to six cables of electricity on Wednesday at 1pm at night had caused the Kharghar residents of sec 12 to spent whole night and the consecutive day till 7pm in darkness. Due to the absence of power, it was impossible to operate pumps used for water supply; therefore the residents had to spend 18 hours without any power or water. At this crucial hour, though MSEDC office employees were not to be found to attend the calls of harassed citizens. Interestingly, the phones at the MSEDC are said to be not working past 15 days to avoid taking calls of frustrated citizens. On the other hand, MSEDC Deputy Engineer S.M Vesave responded that it was impossible to get workers during night and as the intensity of destruction done by fire was more than anticipated, it took long hours to mend the damage. He assured that the matter of telephone lines will also be looked into.

The campaign was conducted in Nerul Seawood area on 9 and 10 May, 2015. During the intensive check, they found 43 rikshaws operating without permits or expired ones. “All the vehicles have been confiscated,” says a release from the office of Deputy RTO, Vashi. Twenty seven of them possessed private vehicle permits but actually used them for carrying passengers as public vehicles. The campaign was conducted by Inspector Gajanan Gawde, Rajesh Kesarkar, Kiran Tiwari, Nilesh Dhote and Ashwini Khot and was overseen by Deputy RTO Sanjay Dhaigude and Assistant Transport Officer Dnyaneshwar Modak. Our reporter adds: Such campaigns are conducted periodically for the sake the completing the targets given to each official but the latter are not serious. The vehicles are confiscated on paper only. The next day, the rikshaw operator approaches the official and gets the vehicle released on the payment of some money. Operating rikshaws without permits is very common in Navi Mumbai. A rikshaw may be caught in say, Vashi. Next day, after it is released by the official, it is operated in Koperkhairane or Airoli. “Detecting such cases is difficult, especially when the officials are not serious about it,” the reporter adds.

By walking in open gardens we get fresh air and people suffering from breathing problems get a breath- residents are less fortunate to have a Parkcum-ground in Sector 9, which is not maintained properly. People from Millennium Towers and other neighbouring Housing Societies use this Park but Sanpada Park needs immediate face lift. People are fortunate to get fresh air all the time in these ideally situated parks. So, Navi Mumbai can be called Garden City. With so much er. the maintenance part is not good enough and in fact it is in pathetic condition. Adjacent to the Big Park there is one another Park facing Sector 8 with walking tracks for early morning walkers. So Navi Mumbai is full of Parks. space at the disposal of NMMC, more and more Parks should come up to cater to the needs of People in Navi Mumbai. CIDCO and NMMC should join hands to make the park more user-friend- The main feature of the renovated park in Sector 17 Vashi is that a exclusive spot has been allotted to senior citizens to sit and relax in the morning and evening hours and exchange their thoughts among them.

Text and Photos by Ashok Dhamija MUMBAI: Western India Football Association (WIFA) organised and conducted the AIFF Grassroots Courses in five centres across Maharashtra including Mumbai’s Cooperage ground and Sri Ma Vidyalaya in Thane on the occasion of AFC ‘Grassroots Day’ on Friday. AIFF General Secretary, Kushal Das, who inaugurated the programme congratulated WIFA and expressed encouragement to the participants. “Maharash- tra is one state that always encourages football at the grassroots. Last year they won the AIFF Grassroots award and they are continuing to conduct such programmes, which will help take the sport in the country to higher levels,” he said after the inauguration. Through this programme, WIFA is expected to add another 150 Grassroots Leaders in the state. With the new additions, Maharashtra will boast of having over 350 Grassroots Leaders. Besides this course at five centres, WIFA Grassroots Leaders will also be celebrating festivals in as many as 50 centres in the State. “In the months to come, WIFA will have many more such courses spreading grassroots leaders across the state. This course was conducted to celebrate the AFC Grassroots Day,” said Souter Vaz, WIFA, Hon. Secretary. Parks in... ends within the city. The major attraction of the city is its Parks and open spaces spread all over. Kharghar is given a pride of place and many major projects are coming up in the vicinity. Flower Garden is one more landmark for the satellite city. The city is well developed and well planned, thanks to CIDCO and NMMC. With Rock Garden, Central Park and other beautiful Parks in Navi Mumbai, the satellite city can be called Garden City like Bangalore. The satellite city of Navi Mumbai has got a landmark in the form of a ‘Rock Garden’ developed by the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) after the civic body declared the colossal garden as open for public use. Hyde Park in London, Central Park in New York are some of the fine examples of large recreational parks that stand out in history. The Central Park project is a great endeavour on CIDCO’s part, not to emulate these historic parks, but to create a public park synthesizing the concepts of these parks, relate the park to present times, in particular - the ethos of Navi Mumbai - and further reflect into the future. The project intends to respond to the recreational needs of the Navi Mumbai populace. The project is blend of Landscape and Urban Design. The park is intended to provide an excellent place for active and passive recreation. This picturesque setting is ideal for a city level park of international level. It accommodates diverse functions of active and passive recreations starting from Jogger’s Tracks, Botanical Gardens, Amphitheatre and Theme Parks to a full fledged Sports Stadium. Thus, the satellite city has a clean and green look, thanks to the many parks within the city. Now it is time to have proper maintenance of these parks to give a green look all the time. These beautiful parks are neglected during the monsoon season and that spoils the fine ambiance available as of now. CIDCO and NMMC should join hands and make these theme parks a meaningful with regular maintenance and see that dogs are not allowed to enter these parks and spoil the gardens and scare the children coming there during the summer vacation. Cleaning the surroundings and roads leading to these parks during night time or during afternoon as the dust is swept from the roads and enter these parks during peak hours in the morning thus polluting the air and thereby defeating the very purpose of relaxing and breathing fresh air. It is high time to make the sweeping work done when the parks are closed during the noon AIFF General Secretary, Kushal Das, along with WIFA officials pose with the participants on the occasion at the Cooperage ground on Friday.. Cont. from pg. 2 ly. It is up to NMMC to maintain these Parks well to give best ambience all the time in the year. Generally, these Parks are neglected during Monsoon season. Public Parks are definitely a boon to the people of Navi Mumbai. Residents of Navi Mumbai are rather lucky to have sufficient space and be surrounded by number of Parks in the satellite city. With much fanfare, Wonder Park was opened. Wonder Park will have different types of play things for children and youngsters. It will be a boon for the people living in the city and the real estate prices will go up when all the parks function with high standard of maintenance to make the city the Singapore of India. Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation is busy beautifying parks in the satellite city. Huge amount of funds have been allotted to give the parks in Navi Mumbai much needed face lift and the place to enjoy for the city residents during the week CMYK “It’s great to see such encouraging numbers for such programs. This means everyone is now aware about the importance of the course. Many I-league clubs such as Pune FC and Mumbai FC have come in to partner with us in these courses which is really wonderful’, said Henry Menezes, CEO. session. Clean and green Navi Mumbai should be the motto of NMMC and it should strive hard to achieve cleanliness and the people should not litter plastic bags, empty bottles and filth in the parks since it will only spoil the efforts of sincere workers. After all, cleanliness is next to Godliness! CMYK 4 [email protected] 16 - 22 May 2015 Additional Summer Special Trains On Konkan Railway Issue : 3 16 - 22 May 2015 Why high rises? The death of three fire officers – a fourth one is fighting for life – in the Kalbadevi building fire has raised issues concerning our fire safety measures. There are people who raise questions like why so many senior officers should enter a building under fire. They would like that job to be left to junior staffers. But such debates imply that the lives of junior men are less valuable than those of senior officers. Such people draw parallels with the war front where it is an established practice to send young jawans or the ordinary soldiers to face the line of fire while the senior offers stand behind to oversee the strategy. Whether strategy is less important in a fire fighting operation can be debated. Let those issues as they are. Presently, our focus should be to tackle the issue of our preparedness to face fires in high rises. First, in any fire fighting operation, ready availability of water is very vital. The survey conducted a few years ago showed that most of the fire (or water) hydrants in our high rise buildings are no more than show pieces. A vast majority of them were found to be non-functional! BMC promptly issued notices to private societies where such lacunae was noticed. But we were not told what action was taken against public buildings where a similar situation prevailes. At the other end, we don’t know how well maintained the fire brigade’s equipments are. The government’s answer to these issues has been to order the establishment of a new burns center in the J J Hospital complex. While an additional facility is welcome, that cannot be a solution to the lack of preparedness. The burns hospital comes into the picture only after a fireman or a resident has sustained burns. Instead, we must be thinking in terms of preventing such situations or minimizing their impact. There are also complaints of lack of periodical training to fire men and up-gradation of their skills! Their physical fitness is another issue. The problem is multifarious. The solution, in our opinion, lies elsewhere. First and foremost, we must restrict the maximum height of buildings. That is essential for two reasons. High rises put too much pressure on our power as well as water supply services. As it is we are struggling to meet the demand for power from the domestic and industrial sectors. Every new high rise building is bound to increase this short fall. We are saying this when China has started building the world’s tallest building – 209 storeys high! May be they have assessed the possible problems and taken appropriate measures to face them. But our system is far from ready to face such problems. The easy way out for us is to avoid such giant constructions. May be, we restrict the height to 40 storeys or so.

Incomplete Turbhe skywalk The skywalk on Sion-Panvel highway is incomplete. The skywalk stops in the middle of the highway, where the Turbhe flyover ends. The skywalk was meant to connect Sanpada village with Turbhe MIDC. Pedestrians take the risk of crossing the busy highway. Many accidents have occurred at this junction. The skywalk is left incomplete due to the presence of overhead high tension line which needs to be removed. Pedestrians are suffering for the last two years, but there has been no progress in the work. The authorities should take it as a priority and finish the work for the safety of pedestrians. - S.

Indian Prime Minister requested China to reconsider its approach on some matters, like visa policy towards residents of Arunachal Pradesh, as he asserted that the two nations have a historic responsibility to turn the relationship into a source of strength for each other and a force of good for the world and not treat other as enemies. During their talks in Beijing, Mr. Modi and his Chinese counterpart Li Keqiang decided to increase the number of border meeting points of their military personnel from the existing four, as they underlined that maintenance of peace and tranquility on the border was an important guarantor for the development and continued growth of ties. Better council prevailed between the two countries to have peaceful neighbourly relationship after consistent chaos in the border issue all these years, which caused friction between two countries and continuous friction in sensitive areas on the Indian side of border. The equations between two developing countries are slowly changing to promote healthy relations in the days to come. - C. K.

They recently completed constructing a big shelter by making the roof but have not done the work of filling the potholes. The Panvel ST depot’s new shelter is been found better than those of other areas. However, the dilapidated old building which helps the passengers to wait at the different bus parking numbers is not demolished or repaired. This building is not in a position to be repaired. There will be monsoon within a month but the Panvel ST depot officials are still occupying the dangerous building. The building is also housing an enquiry counter, besides stalls, etc. However, the ST depot officials are not taking any action along this direction. Within a month the monsoon will hit the city but a disaster is looming over the life of many. There is a demand from many people to shift the enquiry counter and other offices from the dilapidated building to the new shelter which has roof. The commuters demand that the ST officials should immediately undertake the repairing work of the potholes and also clear the sewage line dug up sometime back. There is also demand that adequate shelter for the commuters be made so that people do not face the inconvenience. There is little time left for the officials and they need to act as quickly as possible. CIDCO all... within CIDCO limit.
