Thane: Ahead of the upcoming monsoon season, the Thane District Administration and the Public Works Department (PWD) have launched a major safety audit campaign across the region. The initiative aims to prevent accidents, ensure smooth traffic flow, and guarantee safe travel for citizens on bridges and culverts (sakav).
During a recent monsoon-preparedness review meeting, District Collector Dr. Shrikrishna Panchal directed all agencies to remain highly alert. Following these orders, the Thane PWD commenced a survey of bridges over 200 meters long under its jurisdiction.
Under this campaign, inspections have already been completed for three out of four key bridges in the Kalyan taluka. The survey revealed damaged parapet walls, missing safety railings, and a pressing need for minor and major repairs at various locations.
"A special drive will be implemented to fix minor cracks, rusted components, and water drainage issues, alongside installing new railings where necessary," stated Sachin Patil, Executive Engineer, Thane PWD.
Also Watch:
The department claims all corrective work will be completed before the monsoon sets in. The PWD oversees a total of 8 large bridges, 17 medium bridges, and nearly 30 culverts in the district, all of which will undergo phased inspections to implement immediate safety measures wherever risks are identified.
