Navi Mumbai restaurants and eateries to remain open till midnight from today

by Staff Reporter
written by Staff Reporter

The working time of restaurants and eateries will be extended till midnight, compared to their earlier deadline of 10 pm.

Navi Mumbai: From today, Friday 22nd October, restaurants and eateries in Navi Mumbai will be able to work late into midnight, thanks to the state government’s decision considering a very low number of coronavirus cases in the state in the last couple of months.

On Sunday, the city of Mumbai is said to have registered a zero-covid-death day, and with the BMC confident of zero possibility of a third wave of coronavirus to hit the city, a belief supported by the covid task force around the state, the government is keen on taking a leap of faith.

The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) and Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) are positive about the decision of the state government for their succeeding battle against the coronavirus pandemic, and reports of all time low cases.  

Restaurants in Navi Mumbai currently conduct their businesses between 7am and 10pm with an occupancy of 50%, but under the new directive, which comes into effect from today, they will be able to remain open till midnight (12 pm).

Several restaurants’ and hotels’ associations had petitioned for restoration of pre-covid business hours, late into the night, till 1.30am and it was believed that the state government would give in.

However, the CM’s office confirmed that restaurants and eateries will only be allowed to remain open till 12am.

Though the decision has come as a little bit of a disappointed for many hospitality associations, they have welcomed it happily, as they believe that the two-hour extension from the earlier closing time of 10pm, will help a lot in conducting some extra business.

All previous SOPs, like 50% capacity, sanitisation etc., will be followed as usual from 22nd October as well.

However, the state government has allowed local authorities to take a call on the decision, and amend it in ways that will suit the pandemic scenario in their respective areas.

Note: The NMMC and PCMC are yet to release a circular outlining the SOPs concerning the reopening of restaurants and eateries and other establishments. This article presents the decision of the state government on a whole.

Tomato prices soar in Navi Mumbai; May increase further

Tomato prices soar in Navi Mumbai; May increase further

by Staff Reporter
written by Staff Reporter

Tomatoes are being sold in Navi Mumbai between Rs. 20 to Rs. 40 in the wholesale market, and between Rs. 80 to Rs. 120 in the retail market.

Tomato prices soar in Navi Mumbai; May increase further

Navi Mumbai: There has been a huge spike in the price of tomatoes in Navi Mumbai in the last two weeks. A dip in the supply of tomatoes by major suppliers in Maharashtra is said to be the main cause for the increased prices.

This comes after the recent overwhelming increase in the price of vegetable in Navi Mumbai.

The regular produce and supply of vegetables, especially tomatoes, has been adversely affected during the month of September, due to incessant rains.

If readers recall, the onion and vegeables prices had skyrocketed in Navi Mumbai during the month of September last year too.

Traders at the Vashi Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) and Panvel APMC inform that there has been a 40% drop in the supply of tomatoes in Navi Mumbai since September.

It is but obvious that the shortage in supply of Tomatoes is bound to increase the prices.

So while tomatoes are being retailed between Rs. 80 and Rs.120 in Vashi and its neighbouring nodes, Kharghar and its surrounding nodes are seeing a price between Rs. 70 and Rs. 80.

However, many traders fear that the price may increase further as the festive season is just around the corner and it will take at least two weeks for facilitating adequate supply of tomatoes from other states.

As for now, Navi Mumbai residents will have to pay more for tomatoes for another two weeks or even more.

Navi Mumbai citizens are celebrating Navratri humbly this year too

With a ban on dandiya and garba in Navi Mumbai due to the pandemic, citizens are keeping Navratri festivities to the basics – humble home celebrations.

Navi Mumbai citizens are celebrating Navratri humbly this year too

Navi Mumbai: Navratri celebrations in the city have been at their humblest, just like last year, owing to the covid-19 pandemic. The nine-day festivity commenced on Thursday, 7th October, with ghatastaphana and fasting, in a majority of homes in the city.

As all public Navratri celebrations have been extensively curtailed in Navi Mumbai by the NMMC and PCMC, with a complete ban on dandiya and garba events, residents have been finding more meaning and joy in celebrating the festival at home, with their families.

The absence of social obligaions during the festival has given them ample time focus on the essence of the Navratri celebrations, they say.

With already four days into the Navratri festival, many have actually started to like the new way of celebrations, that of simplicity and humility.

Suraj P, a resident of Kharghar, shares, “Navratri seems to be dull without the regular fanfare of dandiya and garba events, Durga pandals and bhogs, but getting to spend the nine days in prayers in all humility and peace seems like a great experience.”

“After all, devotion needs to be simple and truthful, and this pandemic has taught us just that,” he adds.

He is not alone when he says that. Most of the residents of Navi Mumbai, just like any other city in the world now, think that the pandemic has infused a new sense of meaning into their lives.

This is how most Navi Mumbai residents are celebrating Navratri this year

  • Ghatasthapana at home
  • Fasting for nine days
  • Chanting of mantras & shlokas
  • Aarti & Bhajans
  • Prasad & special bhog

While residents of Navi Mumbai continue with the Navratri celebrations at home, the five-day Bengali festival of Durga Puja starts today with the awakening of goddess Durga – ‘Bodhan’.

(CIDCO). The development authority recently released fourteen plots under four different schemes in Navi Mumbai.

The plots measure between 858.30 sq. meters and 12,196.40 sq. meters.

The numbers and purposes of the plots located in Nerul, Kharghar, Ulwe and Dronagiri are as follows:

  • 4 plots for working women’s hostels – Kharghar, Ulwe, Koperkhairane and Ghansoli
  • 3 plots for composite schools and junior colleges under one scheme, and 5 plots under another scheme – Sanpada, Dronagiri, Vashi and Ulwe
  • 2 plots for colleges for higher education – Kharghar and Ghansoli.

Dronagiri has the maximum number, with four plots under the general trust scheme and one under the PAP scheme.

Kharghar has a total of two plots, one for a working women’s hostel and another for a higher education institution.

As known, Kharghar is an education hub and another higher education institution will add another feather to its cap.

A working women’s hostel in Kharghar will also be of great purpose for the increasing number of working women in and around the vicinity.

While it will take some time in the making, as the plots are yet to be sold off and development will take a few years, CIDCO’s gesture is appreciated by all.
