Mira Bhayandar To Stay In Focus

With the upcoming metro connectivity, Mira Bhayandar’s link to Mumbai city is expected to improve significantly. Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik announced last month that the Metro Line 7 stretch between Dahisar and Kashimira is likely to become operational by the end of December. For residents of Mira Bhayandar, transportation has long been the biggest concern.

Moreover, as several parts of Mumbai have recently witnessed debates over the Marathi and Hindi language issue, Bhayandar faces a different social challenge. The area, which has a large population of Marwadis, Jains, and Brahmins, often sees disputes related to vegetarian vs non-vegetarian food practices.

Apart from transport and its social issues, the region is also expected to become a free Wi-Fi zone in the near future. Traffic congestion and poor road conditions have been persistent problems, but the ongoing flyover project that will directly connect to Bhayandar has brought some relief after many years. Additionally, reports suggest that a pod-taxi service may be introduced, which would connect Thane, Navi Mumbai, and Mira-Bhayandar, further improving connectivity.
