Navi Mumbai Vashi PATHETIC FOOTPATHS MAKE COMMUTING TROUBLESOME
Date of Publishing: 2011-02-25 00:00:00.0
Footpaths have been troubling residents of Sector 16 and 16 A, Vashi for a long time. Despite lodging many complaints with the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation, nothing has been done to solve the problem. Using the footpath in the area has become nearly impossible due to its sorry state.
Vijay Walunj, a resident said, "Sector 16 and 16 A is a posh area and many important people reside in the area. So, this area should not face this kind of a problem. The children, senior citizens use it for walking and many other people including women use it for going to shopping, etc."
Praveen Jadhav, a resident of Greenfield Society said, "Two big private schools, St Lawrence and ICL School and one municipal school Manisha Vidyalaya and Karamveer Bhaurao Patil College are located in this area. Thousands of students who visit the area need proper footpaths."
Vishnudas Bhave Auditorium, the only professional theatre play auditorium in entire Navi Mumbai is also located here. Hundreds of residents come here to see play face a lot of problems due to the uneven footpath. Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) and Post Office are two other offices in the area".
Ajay Walunj, another resident said, "The NMMC Officers take round in the area in a vehicle and are aware of the problem. Still nothing has been done. There is not even a single footpath in entire Sector 16 and 16 A which is not uneven or broken. Almost all the manhole covers are broken. The footpath from St Lawrence to Greenfield Society or on the lane along KBP College to Sector 14 or on the lane from KBP College to Fire Station is broken. From children to youth to women to senior citizens face a lot of problems every day. Getting a cramp may look as a small problem but for senior citizens and women, it is very tough."
NMMC Vashi Ward officer Ashok Madhavi said, "Repairing of footpath is a regular practice done by our department. We will soon carry out the work and ensure that there is no uneven or broken footpath left."
Sector 16 and 16 A is a posh area and important people reside here. So, this area should not face this problem.”

Navi Mumbai Vashi FOOTPATH IN SECTOR 3 GETS FACELIFT
Date of Publishing: 2011-03-04 00:00:00.0
In our January 21 issue, we had discussed about the problems faced by residents due to uneven footpath behind Galaxy cooperative Housing Society, Sector 3, Vashi.
Mofit Patel, a commuter said, "Many people live in this area and use this footpath daily. This pathway is from Vashi Railway Station to Vashi Bus Depot, Sector 9, 9A, 10, etc. The footpath was earlier in a very bad condition as it was uneven and dug up at many areas."
Ward Officer Ashok Madhavi had promised to look into the matter and act accordingly at that time. And as promised, the work was initiated by the officials for giving respite to pedestrians.
Patel added, "From many months, we were running after the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) to solve this problem but to no avail. It is only due to interference of Cityplus, the NMMC has taken up the work of repairing the footpath. This has brought a big sigh of relief to residents."

NAVI MUMBAI - RESIDENTS OF GHANSOLI CRAVE FOR BASIC AMENITIES
Date of Publishing: 2011-03-04 00:00:00.0
Ghansoli residents have been facing problems due to laxity of officials of developing authority CIDCO and administrating authority NMMC. The residents are not able to avail the benefits of various basic amenities.
Deepak Patil, a resident said, "Ghansoli is a newly developed area where development is still under progress. Sector 1 to 7 and 9 have been developed by CIDCO and handed over to NMMC. Sectors 8, 15, 16 and 17 are still developing. The number of residents are increasing day by day so is the need of basic amenities. Instead of developing gardens, library, gym, etc, the developing authority has only developed sewerage treatment plant in the area. The residents have been deprived of almost all kinds of services."
S Waghmare, another resident said, "Kamaltai P, the former Corporator of the area had been demanding a garden for welfare of children, women and senior citizens of area for a long time. But the NMMC had told us that this project of garden has been delayed as CIDCO has not handed over plot to NMMC till now." Shobha Patil, present corporator, said, "In June last year, I had demanded land for garden, gym, library, etc. But till date, the NMMC has not done anything in this regard. The plots that were to be developed as park have been turned into garbage dump. This has troubled many residents as parks are very important for children, women and senior citizens. It's high time for the NMMC to consider these demands seriously as basic amenities like playground, library, gym, etc are very important for overall development of the society."
Ghansoli NMMC Ward Officer Bhaskar Sansane said, "There are couples of gardens available for the residents, however, we have still not received any new orders from headquarters and hence commenting on the issue is presently not possible, however, as the developments are still going on, the said services will also be provided soon."
It’s high time for the NMMC to consider these demands seriously as basic amenities like playground, etc are vital.”
