Thane Mayor Sharmila Pimpalolkar Puts Civic Machinery On High Alert, Warns Of Strict Action For Monsoon Negligence

Thane, July 10: In light of recent heavy rainfall, Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) Mayor Sharmila Pimpalolkar has directed all civic officials and ward assistant commissioners to remain on high alert.

Chairing an emergency meeting at the Late Arvind Pendse Hall, the Mayor emphasised that citizen safety remains paramount and no compromises will be tolerated.

To ensure an immediate response to civic grievances, all official mobile phones must remain operational 24/7, and ward-level disaster management cells must be fully functional round the clock.

The Mayor warned that any lapses, delays or lack of coordination leading to mishaps would result in personal accountability and strict disciplinary action.
