Anyone who had been there would have told that it looked like one huge village of Santa, with all the magic of Christmas.

“I loved Santa’s Village a lot. It was very beautiful and looked like a chapter out of a Christmas story,” said one of the excited kids during the event.

“The entire mall was Santa’s Village on Christmas,” said another excited kid.

People could see the excitement in the children around them who were simply moving around in joy.

Amit S, a Vashi resident, shared, “the Christmas decorations at Inorbit was kind of magical in a way, especially Santa’s village. There were elves welcoming you at the gate, huge candies, an igloo, snowmen, a sledge, snow, Christmas trees and a wishing well. It was really magical for children.”

Children were very excited throughout the evening, especially when they got to meet Santa one on one.

“We sat of Santa’s lap, on his sledge, and he gave us candies and wished us Merry Christmas. It was so exciting,” a highly excited bunch of Santa-loving kids shared.

While it was a magical treat for children, it was equally magical for adults who were also captivated.

Namrata Gaikwad, a Ghansoli resident, who had visited the mall along with her husband, shared, “It was a really wonderful experience on Christmas for both of us. There was a magical vibe going around with all the festive decorations and happy faces around. We even clicked a lot of photos in front of many installations. It was a happy ecperience, well planned and executed by the management of the mall.”

Shoppers were not left out of the excitement and were equally happy to be there on such a festive day.

Harsha Shah, a Kharghar resident who had went shopping, shared, “We always shop at Inorbit but this Christmas was very different. With all the decorations around, festively illuminated shops, children playing around happily, and people smiling at each other, there was a very positive vibe going around. We shopped a lot and that too on very attractive discounts crafted specially for the event. It was like shopping in a magical land.”

Even for the silent spectators there were magnificent eye-catching installations and equally mesmerising décors.

Sunny Pandey, an Ulwe resident, shared, “I had just been to the mall for a short meeting with someone but could not stop marvelling at decorations and all the excitement of children and youngsters. I simply sat and watched children playing happily around and couples busy clicking pictures with the beautifully crafted installations and decoration in the backdrops. It was a visual treat for me, and for many like me, I believe.”

The innovative plogging activity aims to encourage residents to willingly participate in cleanliness activities on grass root levels, during Swachh Survekshan 2022.

Vashi / Navi Mumbai: The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has once again thought out of the box to engage local residents with all planned cleanliness activities for Swachh Survekshan 2022. The civic body hosted their first ever ‘Plog Run’ in Vashi recently, in a bid to draw in participation of local residents, in making the city cleaner and their lives healthier.

From the number of residents who showed up for the “Plogging” or “Plog Run” event at Vashi, it was evident that the endeavour was worth the effort.

More than two hundred people had enthusiastically participated in the plog run which was held along a 1 Km stretch between sectors 3 and 9 in Vashi. The volunteers included students and teachers of LCF Foundation and Khaki Academy (Police Recruitment Training Centre).

All present took a collective oath to ensure that the use of plastic was minimised in the city in every possible manner.

It was a sight worth watching as eager residents picked up plastic waste as they jogged along the way.

An enormous pile of 210 Kg of plastic waste was collected during the “Plog Run”, which was a huge success in itself.

Participants during the oath ceremony at the Vashi Plog Run

NMMC commissioner, Abhijit Bangar, shared enthusiastically, “Plog Run or Plogging, is a great way to clean the environment as well as to exercise. The regular bending and stretching for picking up waste materials activates all the body parts and at the same time, ensures cleanliness around.”

The civic chief was confident of the long term benefits of the plogging activity and also informed about his plans to conduct it regularly.

“Such activities tend to promote the significance of good health and a clean environment. We will be holding a plogging activity at least once every week in different nodes of the city.

As part of the Swachh Survekshan 2022 the NMMC has also invited budding short film makers and musicians from all across Navi Mumbai to produce fresh and original content to be used for a special event on 30th December 2021.

Navi Mumbai Christians prepare for mass before midnight this Christmas Eve

by Staff Reporter December 24, 2021
written by Staff Reporter

As per state government’s instructions, 10 pm is the deadline set for midnight mass this Christmas and that too, only for 50 percent worshippers at a time.

Navi Mumbai: Christians in the city are preparing to participate in the yearly midnight mass a little early today, as per the instructions of the state government, in the wake of the omicron threat. So, the 12 am mass will be held two hours earlier, at 10 pm, in all churches in Navi Mumbai.

Tiana D’souza, a Kharghar resident, says, “We are having mixed feelings right now. At one hand, we are sad that the annual Christmas event will be nothing like it used to be, but on the other hand, we also know that it is necessary, given the growing threat of omicron, slowly gripping the city.”

It is likely that some of the churches would be taking in at least two batches of 50 percent of the capacity, to be able to accommodate all their congregators before the deadline of 10 pm.

In Kharghar, some of the churches have called congregators as early as 8.30 pm for the mass.

Surprisingly, this Christmas, congregators in many churches in Navi Mumbai and Mumbai have been asked to register themselves for the midnight mass in advance. In most of the churches, attendance is only by invitation.

In most of the places, elders above 60 years and children below 10 years have been skipped from the invitations.

Similarly, the New Year’s Eve mass will also be held in batches before 10 pm, as per government directives.

LocalPress.in tried connecting with both the municipal corporations but of late, corresponding with the civic bodies has become a herculean task. So, whatever we have written here is from sources other than the NMMC and PMC.
