Residents demand community centre

Residents demand community centre
Residents of Sectors 6, 7 and 8 of Vashi have for years been demanding for a space for community gatherings, but in vain.
Inderjeet Singh, a social worker, says, "There are more than 2500 bungalows and hundreds of buildings in our vicinity. But there is no place where residents can gather for a meeting or celebrations. The nearest place, where we can gather is the mini sea shore and Sagar Vihar and that too during jogging or walking. However, these spots are always occupied by couples, making it impossible for residents to have a get-together or even sit and chat".
Krishna Pandit, also a social worker, adds, "For years we are organizing our meetings and celebrations on an open playground, footpath and on a school playground in the vicinity. But all these are temporary arrangements".
Singh adds, "The only way out is to develop a community centre in Sagar Vihar. This will work as multipurpose centre, where we shall have space not just to chat but also to organize various events for the overall development of society".
Anand Malinge adds, "NMMC must develop a community centre which must have a study room, gym and a hall for get- togethers".
