CIDCO fails to restore Bhendkal, Pagote wetlands in Uran before deadline

by Staff Reporter January 22, 2020
written by Staff Reporter

Navi Mumbai / Uran: The City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra Ltd. (CIDCO) has failed to restore the wetlands in Uran, namely Bhendkhal and Pagote by the deadline set by the high court-appointed Mangrove Protection and Conservation Committee.

In December, the committee, acting on complaints against destruction of 150 acres of the 160-acre Bhendkhal wetland under Navi Mumbai SEZ, had asked CIDCO and the Raigad district collector to clear the debris and soil dumped illegally. However, both the authorities have not even moved an inch, as angry environmentalists accuse.

Also, the Committee had demanded for the restoration of the wetland at Pagote under the NMSEZ, where 100 acres and about 3,000 mangroves had been destroyed. Surprisingly none of the concerned authorities have taken any steps towards fulfillment of the work.

Navi Mumbai air pollution increasing, next to Mumbai

by Staff Reporter January 22, 2020
written by Staff Reporter

Navi Mumbai / Mumbai:  On Tuesday, the air in Mumbai stooped to a low, or very poor reading, raising concerns among concerned authorities, who are now gearing up to take progressive action.

Apparently, the System of Air Quality Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR) recorded PM10 (particulate matter of 10 microns and less) level of 344 in Bandra-Kurla Complex and surprisingly, 300 in Navi Mumbai, the much greener city.

The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) has called up all the stakeholders on Wednesday to discuss the proper implementation and monitoring of ambient air quality in the city.

Ever since the Centre had mandated implementation of dust mitigation measures in the Environment Protection Act to tackle air pollution, the MPCB had directed 17 cities in the state, including Mumbai, to abide.

CIDCO cuts 700 trees at Palm Beach Road Plot

CIDCO cuts 700 trees at Palm Beach Road Plot

by Staff Reporter January 16, 2020
written by Staff Reporter

Navi Mumbai / Nerul:  The City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra Ltd (Cidco) has once again managed to irk environmentalists by chopping down more than 700 trees on a plot located at the Palm Beach Road. CIDCO however claims to have not violated any law.

Apparently, there are two pockets, D and E, in sector 60, that CIDCO informs, are free of any litigation or court restraint of the Bombay high court, as environmentalists and residents claim. Hence, the chopping of trees cannot be held as an act of violation against anyone. They claim that CIDCO, also being the tree authority for the area, has taken the necessary permissions to go ahead with the chopping.

Residents have a different story altogether as they believe that CIDCO has been trying best to usurp the two pockets for real estate gains even when the plots are an integral part of the proposed golf course and the 17 residential towers coming up at the place. In the past too, CIDCO is said to have mislead people into believing that the two pockets were not included in the project. However, they were not able to get the environment clearance as environmentalist approached a government committee to look into the matter.

City environmentalists are now gearing up to move court against CIDCO and the private builder who has been part of the axing that took place with a pending case in Supreme Court.

Six APMC public loos default on water bills of Rs 38 lakh to NMMC for the last six years

by Staff Reporter January 12, 2020
written by Staff Reporter

Navi Mumbai / Vashi-APMC: City activists are shocked and angry to learn that six public loos located in APMC, Vashi, have not paid a single penny till date towards their collective billing of Rs 38 lakh for the last six years. On top of that, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) seems to be either oblivious or not interested in recovering the dues from the defaulting contractors.

Shockingly, nearly 25,000 litres is utilized on a daily basis for free, even during water cuts in the city. Also, people have to pay as much as Rs 5 for using these toilets.

Officials informed that they would be looking into the pending dues as soon as possible and taking necessary action.

by Staff Reporter December 25, 2019
written by Staff Reporter

Navi Mumbai: Former CM Devendra Fadnavis, recently shared that the centre had showed keen interest in setting up a detention centre in Navi Mumbai, during his tenure. The revelation came just after PM Modi denied ever discussing NRC and the possibility of any such centres anytime in future. Fadnavis is said to have sought land from CIDCO in Navi Mumbai to set up a centre for illegal foreigners on the Centre’s directives. The idea was to accommodate foreigners living past their visa tenures till they could be deported back to their respective countries.

Whatever the case, Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray has assured that no such centres or camps will ever be set up in the state.

Why build an unwanted structure and waste money: Vashi residents ask NMMC

by Staff Reporter December 25, 2019
written by Staff Reporter

Navi Mumbai / Vashi: Residents of Vashi have been angered by the construction of an unwanted structure inside a civic garden in the locality. They claim that it is unwanted and merely being developed for the sake of money.

On Wednesday, several residents of Vashi carried out a protest march against a concrete structure coming up inside the Smt Meenatai Thackeray Municipal Garden, located at sector 17. Protestors claimed that a huge amount of money was being spent on constructing an air-conditioned room inside the civic garden, which was unnecessary and a complete waste of money.

Residents questioned why the NMMC was keen on building an air conditioned room in a garden, where people come to stroll and exercise in fresh air. They claimed that it was not being constructed for the locals as they could never demand something as silly as that.

The construction would further reduce public space in the garden, residents said.

Many of the residents bluntly claimed that it was nothing but another case of corruption at the official level.

NMMC municipal commissioner, AB Misal had given assurance to locals some time back that the construction inside the garden would be stalled. However, residents say that nothing has been done to ensure it’s stalling.

written by Staff Reporter

Uran / Navi Mumbai: Activists in and around the city have been rejoicing in the state mangrove protection committee’s order to halt construction activity on the 165-acre Bhendkal wetland, in Uran. Also the Maharashtra state regulator has demanded immediate removal of debris from the creek area, a former part of the Navi Mumbai Special Economic Zone (NMSEZ).

On top of that, the Konkan Wetland Grievance Redressal Committee has directed the City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra (CIDCO) to protect the wetland and mangroves at Panje, the site of recent debris bumping and landfill.

Activists claim that Reliance is developing 4000 acres in Uran for the NMSEZ and hence there has been a rise in destruction of mangroves and wetlands in Pagote, Bhendkhal and Panje.
