Key Issues Faced In Vasai Virar
Established on July 3, 2009, the Vasai-Virar City Municipal Corporation (VVCMC) continues to grapple with multiple civic issues, including water scarcity, poor road conditions, illegal constructions, and the lack of public parks. One of the most pressing challenges faced by residents is transportation. Auto-rickshaw services in the city are still not operated on meter basis. Although state transport minister Pratap Sarnaik had announced last year that meter-based services would be implemented, residents claim that the system has yet to be enforced.
Another major concern is waterlogging during the monsoon season. Several areas in Vasai and Virar frequently get submerged after heavy rainfall, severely disrupting daily life and travel.
