Thane, Feb 06: Ahead of the holy month of Ramzan, which is set to begin on Thursday, February 19, a delegation from the NCP met Thane Municipal Commissioner Saurabh Rao to discuss pressing civic issues plaguing the Mumbra region. The meeting focused on several key demands aimed at providing relief to residents and ensuring the city is prepared for the upcoming festivities.
Key discussion points and demands
Financial relief for citizens — NCP corporator Rajan Kine initiated the discussion by requesting a 100% interest waiver on property tax bills, similar to the waiver currently provided on water bills. The team emphasised that this move would significantly benefit the general public.
Infrastructure and safety concerns — The delegation called for a total ban on dumper truck movement near the Chuha Pul area. They highlighted that ongoing filling work and heavy vehicle traffic have made the bridge dangerous, posing a high risk of accidents, particularly for schoolchildren.
Water crisis management — With the demand for water peaking during Ramzan, the team urged the Commissioner to address the ongoing water shortage in Mumbra immediately to ensure residents do not face hardships during the fasting month.
Traffic and encroachment — Persistent traffic congestion from Amrut Nagar to Shimla Park was a major talking point. The delegation identified the primary cause as an influx of illegal hawkers from outside the area who occupy road space. They demanded strict action against these unauthorised vendors.
Commissioner’s response
The delegation formally requested Commissioner Saurabh Rao to conduct a field visit to Mumbra before the start of Ramzan to assess the ground reality.
In response, Commissioner Rao assured the team that he would soon hold a meeting with officers of the Ward Committee to address these grievances and promised a swift resolution to the highlighted problems.
