Reacting to controversial slogans raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a Congress rally, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Monday urged political parties to maintain dignity and decorum, saying such remarks go against Indian culture and democratic values, reported news agency ANI. "The late Yashwantrao Chavan taught us the value of respect. In politics, there are always differences between the ruling party and the opposition, but when making statements against anyone, one must maintain a certain level of decorum and dignity. After all, he is the Prime Minister of the country," Pawar said. He added that derogatory remarks against the Prime Minister were inappropriate and those responsible should introspect and apologise. "Ultimately, Modi ji is the Prime Minister representing 140 crore people of the country," he said while addressing the media in Pune, reported ANI. Pawar's reaction comes in the wake of sharp political controversy triggered by slogans raised at a Congress rally held at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan against alleged "vote chori" (vote theft). During the rally, Congress leader Manju Lata Meena reportedly said, "Modi teri kabar khudegi, aaj nahin toh kal khudegi" (Modi, your grave will be dug soon, if not today, then tomorrow), sparking widespread condemnation from the ruling BJP, reported ANI. Defending her remarks, Meena said she was merely voicing public anger over alleged electoral irregularities. She accused the BJP of forming governments through vote rigging and claimed the Election Commission was acting under the ruling party's influence. "There is so much anger among the public regarding vote rigging. The Prime Minister does not talk about employment, youth, women, or farmers. He distracts from real issues," said Meena, who is also the Jaipur women's Congress district president, reported ANI. Heated exchanges in Rajya Sabha The issue also led to heated exchanges in the Rajya Sabha on Monday, resulting in an early adjournment. Union Minister and BJP President JP Nadda strongly condemned the slogans, calling them derogatory and unacceptable. Addressing the Upper House, Nadda said the remarks reflected the Congress party's "thinking and mentality" and demanded a public apology from senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi. "Sonia Gandhi ji should apologise to the nation for slogans raised against PM Modi at the Congress rally yesterday. Saying such things against a sitting Prime Minister is highly condemnable," Nadda said. (With inputs from ANI)
16 December,2025 08:59 AM IST | Pune | mid-day online correspondentThe city and its suburbs will experience mainly clear skies on Tuesday, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting maximum and minimum temperatures of around 34 degrees Celsius and 18 degrees Celsius, respectively. However, air quality remains a concern. According to the Sameer app, the city’s overall Air Quality Index (AQI) is 109, falling under the moderate category. This level may cause breathing discomfort for people with lung disorders, asthma, and heart conditions. AQI across key city areas: Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC): 145Borivali: 82Byculla: 136Andheri East: 99Chembur: 128Colaba: 113Deonar: 126Ghatkopar: 134Kandivali: 99Kherwadi, Bandra East: 144 Meanwhile, Delhi’s air quality remained dangerously high on Tuesday, with the overall AQI at 378 at 8 am, placing the city in the ‘very poor’ category, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). This marks a slight improvement from Monday, when the AQI had peaked at 427 in the ‘severe’ category. Despite the marginal dip, large parts of the capital were still shrouded in thick, toxic smog, reducing visibility and causing discomfort for residents, reported news agency ANI. Prominent areas recorded alarming pollution levels: India Gate registered an AQI of 380 and Sarai Kale Khan 359, both in the ‘very poor’ range. Ghazipur and Anand Vihar fared worse, with AQIs around 410, categorised as ‘severe’. According to AQI categorisation, 0-50 is 'good', 51-100 'satisfactory', 101-200 'moderate', 201-300 'poor', 301-400 'very poor', and 401-500 'severe'. Meanwhile, a tourist grappling with Delhi pollution explained his situation, saying to ANI, "The situation here is very serious because of pollution. I arrived in Delhi last evening from Indore. Compared to Indore, I am experiencing difficulty in breathing. Visibility here is very poor; we cannot see the India Gate properly. It is affecting our health." Air quality levels varied across other major Indian cities. Ahmedabad recorded an AQI of 117, Bengaluru 104, Chennai 135, Hyderabad 103, and Mumbai 109, mostly in the 'moderate' to 'satisfactory' range. Jaipur (187), Lucknow (158), Patna (156), and Pune (194) reported 'moderate' air quality, reported ANI. Meanwhile, the first meeting of the Expert Committee constituted by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) for in NCR and adjoining Areas to address air pollution from vehicular emissions was held on Monday under the Chairmanship of Ashok Jhunjhunwala and Co-Chaired by Prof Randeep Guleria. The meeting focused on broad discussions on key issues related to vehicular emission sources in Delhi-NCR, CAQM said in a post on X. "Deliberations covered assessment of segment-wise vehicular emission contributions, exposure risks, EV readiness and infrastructure needs," CAQM said. According to ANI, the committee will present concrete, actionable recommendations to reduce vehicular emissions at upcoming meetings. This comes as the national capital battles with severe air pollution, with AQI crossing the 450 mark, reaching the 'severe plus' category, prompting CAQM to impose stage IV restrictions of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP). In view of the severe air pollution levels in the national capital, the Delhi Government issued a circular directing schools to shift to online mode from hybrid for students up to class 5. With the Air Quality Index (AQI) remaining in the severe category, the government has directed schools to switch to online mode for these grades until further notice. (With ANI inputs)
16 December,2025 08:48 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAfter a delay of almost three years, exactly 34 months, elections to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will finally be held on January 15, 2026, with counting on January 16. The previous five-year term ended in February 2022. Along with Mumbai, municipal elections will also be held the same day in Thane, Navi Mumbai, Mira Bhayandar, Vasai Virar, Panvel, Kalyan Dombivli, Pune and 20 other municipal corporations across Maharashtra. The State Election Commission (SEC) announced the schedule on Monday. Including the BMC’s 227 seats, a total of 2869 seats will go to the polls. State Election Commissioner Dinesh Waghmare confirmed that the model code of conduct comes into effect immediately. The Raj Thackeray-led MNS and the Shiv Sena (UBT) had objected to more than 11 lakh duplicate names in the voters’ list and demanded that polls should not be held until corrections were made. Graphics/istock Asked whether the anomalies had been fixed, Waghmare said, “The poll schedule has been announced only after addressing issues that political parties raised before the commission.” The SEC said BMC officials removed several duplicate entries through field verification and software checks. “If there are any remaining duplicates, they have been marked with a star. This will help identify voters with multiple entries on voting day,” the SEC said. EC had set up a ‘pink booth’ at Sir JJ School of Art in 2024. FILE PIC Nominations will be accepted from December 23 to December 30, with scrutiny on December 31. Withdrawals must be made by January 2. The final list of candidates and symbols will be released on January 3. The last BMC elections were held in 2017. Though the term ended in 2022, fresh polls were delayed due to a seat reservation case pending in the Supreme Court. The court has now directed that all pending local body elections in Maharashtra, including the BMC, must be completed before January 31, 2026. Reacting to the poll announcement, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said, “I am sure people will once again vote for development and progress.” A kite flying challenge Mumbaikars cast their vote during BMC elections in Jogeshwari in 2017. File pic/NIMESH DAVE The January 15 polling date could create a hiccup for the BJP, as a large section of Mumbai’s Gujarati community traditionally travels to Surat and Vadodara for Uttarayan, the kite flying festival, on January 14. Families usually spend two to three days celebrating, and with the festival and polling falling back-to-back, many voters may be out of Mumbai on voting day. While older voters may stay back, younger and first-time voters are more likely to prioritise travel, raising concerns about turnout among a demographic considered part of the BJP’s core support base.

16 December,2025 08:01 AM IST | Mumbai | Team mid-dayThe debate over the relocation of the high-frequency radars has intensified. Days after the BJP-led Maharashtra government announced plans to shift radars from Juhu and Dahisar to other locations, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray urged Mumbai citizens not to trust the government. Aaditya stated that for long, he and his party had been demanding the shifting of radars to other locations, but the BJP, which was in power at the Centre for over 10 years, and that too in complete majority, did nothing. “What made the BJP wait for such a long time to decide on this issue. Now, a couple of days before the BMC polls, they (read as BJP) are talking about shifting the radars. This is nothing but an eye wash, and I urge Mumbai citizens not to trust the BJP and their announcement,” Aaditya said. On Saturday (December 13), the Maharashtra government announced plans to relocate high-power radar stations from Juhu (DN Nagar) and Dahisar as they were seen as a hurdle for redevelopment and new construction. While speaking to the media on Monday, Aaditya slammed the Mahayuti government, especially the BJP and Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena faction, over recent announcements, including the ones related to the housing sector. On December 10, mid-day reported that about 15,000 residents from nearly 200 Juhu housing societies plan to boycott the upcoming BMC elections. These societies lie within 500 metres of an Army wireless station, where redevelopment is banned due to security rules. Both Dahisar and Juhu currently have high-intensity radar centres. Due to safety restrictions around these radar installations, construction of tall buildings in nearby areas is not allowed. This has made redevelopment of old buildings in these localities almost impossible. Sena UBT leader switches over In a setback to the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT), former corporator Tejasvee Ghosalkar — wife of late party leader Abhishek Ghosalkar — quit the party and joined the BJP on Monday. She said the decision was taken after much personal pain, and to speed up development in her area. “I would also expect Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to help me with expediting Abhishek’s case, which is currently moving at a very slow pace,” she added. Her father-in-law and senior Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Vinod Ghosalkar said he remains with the party. “If Abhishek were alive, this situation would not have arisen,” he said. Abhishek Ghosalkar, a former corporator and the son of Vinod Ghosalkar, was shot dead in Borivli in early 2024.
16 December,2025 07:53 AM IST | Mumbai | Sanjeev ShivadekarAfter years of delays and growing pollution concerns, the long-awaited Indrayani river rejuvenation project is finally set to take off. The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) has floated Rs 674 cr tenders to construct Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) along the river. The 105-km-long Indrayani, originating near Kurwande village in Maval and joining the Bhima river at Tulapur in Haveli taluka, flows through culturally significant towns such as Alandi and Dehu. Rapid urbanisation and untreated sewage have heavily polluted the river. Of its total length, 57.5 km falls under PMRDA limits, while nearly 15 km passes through the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC). The project will cover 55 villages along both banks, including Lonavala, Talegaon Dabhade, Alandi, Vadgaon, Dehu, and Dehu Cantonment. The project also includes four high-population villages with more than 15,000 residents — Kurkumbh Khurd, Kivale, Dehu and Indori — along with 39 villages having populations below 15,000. A total of 41 STPs will be set up to intercept sewage before it reaches the river. Each STP will require approximately 15,000 sq ft of land, and the project includes a 15-year operation and maintenance period.
16 December,2025 07:48 AM IST | Mumbai | Archana DahiwalAs the Model Code of Conduct for the municipal elections came into force, there was a last-minute rush of inaugurations and announcements. On Monday, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had three major functions (statue inauguration) for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Kondhwa (Pune), Punyashlok Rajmata Ahilyadevi Holkar in Sangli, and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in Kolhapur. Speaking at one of the functions on Monday afternoon, Fadnavis said, “The State Election Commission (SEC) has called for a press briefing. If municipal polls are announced, the Model Code of Conduct will come into effect. Hence, I will have to speed up my schedule so that I can make it to all the functions.” In fact, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, too, called a press briefing to give a presentation on how the proposed Central Park at Mahalaxmi Racecourse would look. Shinde, along with BMC chief Bhushan Gagrani, explained the salient features of the park. During this interaction, Shinde mentioned that the park — spread over nearly 300 acres by combining Mahalaxmi Racecourse and the Coastal Road land — will be completely green with no surface construction. “The project will include a 10,00,000-sq-ft underground sports complex in the heart of Mumbai,” Shinde said, adding that the historic Mahalaxmi Racecourse will remain protected and open to the public. Further, the Shiv Sena leader announced plans for Thane, which included an 18-km green corridor, India’s tallest viewing tower, an amusement park, snow park, bird sanctuary, sports complexes, and other public facilities. All these major events and announcements came a few hours before the SEC announced elections of the prestigious BMC and 28 other municipal corporations. The SEC even announced implementation of the Model Code of Conduct with immediate effect for all 29 municipal corporations.
16 December,2025 07:45 AM IST | Mumbai | Sanjeev ShivadekarBumpy rides along the two main arterial roads that connect South Mumbai to North Mumbai — till Bhandup in the East, and Dahisar in the West — could soon be a thing of the past. After facing flak throughout the monsoon season for pothole-riddled roads along the Eastern and Western Express Highway, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has now planned a Rs 130 crore project to fix the road surface along bad patches on both the highways. The project tenders were floated hours before the election code of conduct set in for Mumbai on Monday afternoon, when the State Election Commission announced the BMC elections for January 15. What project involves As part of the project, the BMC will undertake “micro-surfacing” of both these roads. This will include milling of the worn-out portions, improvement of long-damaged stretches, and raising or lowering of chamber covers for manhole lids. Other minor works, such as installation of road signage, crossings, and improvement of footpaths, will also be undertaken. The project also involves maintenance of the roads during the monsoon season of 2026, with ongoing or periodic repair of the roads as required, for a period of five years. In November, mid-day reported about the BMC’s plan to carry out milling on road surfaces on the Eastern Express highway to reduce bumpy rides. Milling is a process that scrapes the top layer of bumps to provide temporary relief, before resurfacing of the road is done. The defect liability period (period where contractors are responsible for maintaining the roads) had expired in 2023, the same year that MMDRA handed the roads over to the BMC, according to information from the civic body. Since then, BMC has been maintaining the roads. Each year, tenders have been floated for the maintenance of small patches of the roads. Similar tenders will be floated during the next year for separate patches, and tenders were floated last year as well, according to the BMC. A senior civic official told mid-day, “Due to the length and breadth of both the highways, it is impossible to complete the resurfacing of roads in one go. Periodic tenders need to be floated for the work. These tenders cover a 7.9 km patch on the Eastern Express Highway — between Amar Mahal and Chunabhatti — and a 7.5 km patch on the Western Express Highway — between Goregaon and Magathane bridge in Borivli.” Importance of work During the monsoon, the BMC repaired potholes on roads using mastic asphalt — a material known to swell after drying, which can create raised patches. These patches caused bumpy rides on the highways after the monsoon. mid-day, in a November 17 report, highlighted the situation on the Eastern Express Highway, due to patchy and uneven road surfaces around Sion. The Eastern Express Highway is a 23-km-long stretch connecting Sion to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, running up to Thane. It is a crucial north-south connector leading to the eastern suburbs of Vikhroli, Ghatkopar, Mulund, and Bhandup. The Western Express Highway is a 25-km stretch that connects Mahim to Dahisar, and is a crucial north-south connector for the suburban areas of Andheri, Jogeshwari, Goregaon, Borivli, Kandivli, and Malad. Citizen Speak Nikhil Desai, A representative from NGO AGNI, which works for the welfare of Mumbai‘If BMC can do the concreting of internal roads, it can definitely do so with these main roads. However, annually, repairs are taken up, and these roads are resurfaced at a huge cost, only for potholes and bad patches to reemerge during the subsequent monsoon season. To date, we have not seen a full-fledged plan for a permanent solution to the problem of bad patches on either of the two highways.’
16 December,2025 07:39 AM IST | Mumbai | Eeshanpriya MSMumbai has seen a 95 per cent decrease in the number of ‘severe’ Air Quality Index (AQI) days in the past four years, from 40 in 2022 to only one in 2025, according to information from Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). In contrast, the city has seen a 21 per cent increase in ‘good’ and ‘satisfactory’ air quality days, from 21 days in the ‘good’ category in 2022, to 55 in 2025; and 153 days in the ‘satisfactory’ category in 2022, to 162 in 2025. Sumaira Abdulali, Awaaz Foundation Effectively, this means Mumbai has seen better air quality year on year, going by civic body data. Referring to how air quality determines the quality of life, driving growth and investments, a senior civic official told mid-day, “It is a priority to maintain and improve air quality in Mumbai. We must also see that the city is a crucial business centre. Bad AQI can have a direct impact on growth.” Recent percentages Mumbai faced a near-severe crisis of bad AQI as it emerged from the coronavirus pandemic after 2022. That year, Mumbai saw 40 ‘severe’ days — in the red category in lay terms, and 150 ‘moderate’ days. In 2023, there were 35 ‘severe’ days and 145 ‘moderate’ days. In contrast, this year, Mumbai has recorded 112 days in the ‘moderate’ category. A senior civic official said, “We aim to reduce the number of ‘moderate’ days further, and increase the number of ‘satisfactory’ and ‘good’ days for Mumbai.” In 2023, BMC released 27 guidelines to curb air pollution in the city. A year later, it added yet another point. This 28-point agenda is meant to control dust arising from construction in the city, regulate road dust from vehicles emerging from construction sites, and curb on-road pollution through regular washing and cleaning. The BMC has subsequently cracked down on bakeries across Mumbai to control pollution from cooking fuel. Citizens speak Shishir Joshi, CEO and founder of Project Mumbai, said, “While there are multiple climatic reasons which result in air quality improving or worsening, a critical aspect that cannot be ignored is citizens’ awareness and the role of civil society in enhancing that. In the past few months, very few acronyms have gained as much traction as AQI. It has been a conversation starter, a visible indicator through growing appearances of masks and not thus, ensuring the state (in this case, the BMC) is far more alert than otherwise is — compelling accountability. While data always is a great indicator, what needs to grow is not just awareness, but informed conversation surrounding AQI and what we as citizens should be doing to hold the authorities accountable.” Project Mumbai is bringing the global climate conversation to India and the city to host the Mumbai Climate Week in February. Sumaira Abdulali of the Awaaz Foundation said, “It is distressing to see the government constantly saying that AQI has improved, when we are all clearly experiencing the health side effects of bad air quality. Data that shows improved air quality in Mumbai should account for the experiences of people. Each country uses different formulas and methodologies for calculating this index, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, when an average is taken of major pollutants, including PM2.5 and PM10, it is easy to get several good and satisfactory days. The Central Pollution Control Board has changed the formula for calculating AQI. We don’t look at PM2.5 concentrations in the air alone anymore. Yet, PM2.5 is what we actually breathe. It’s why we continue to experience bad air, even though the data shows an improvement.”
16 December,2025 07:30 AM IST | Mumbai | Eeshanpriya MSThe Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) will issue a notice to the ready-mix concrete (RMC) plant blamed for causing dust and air pollution near a residential area in Kurla. A senior MPCB officer told mid-day that officials inspected the site, found pollution violations, and sent a proposal for action to higher authorities. The official said, “The company operating the RMC plant informed us that the dust pollution reported last week was caused by a leakage of cement from the bulker feeding pipe connected to silos. They stated that the incident was accidental and that immediate measures were taken to stop the leakage, including replacing the feeding pipe. Our team has visited the site, and action will be taken as per the law. A report is being prepared and will be forwarded to senior officials for further action.” Sources said the company operating the plant had assured the MPCB that it was taking all the necessary precautions and complying with MPCB guidelines. On Monday, mid-day highlighted concerns raised by Mumbai-based activist Godfrey Pimenta, who had approached the MPCB, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), among other authorities, alleging that the RMC plant near a residential area in Kurla was generating excessive dust and air pollution based on a video received from a resident from Sunderbaug Lane, Kamani, Kurla, last week. Residents react Kurla local, Sanjay Tiwari, said, “It is good that the MPCB has initiated action, but this alone is not sufficient. The bigger question is: how was an RMC plant granted permission to operate close to a densely populated residential area despite repeated violations of environmental guidelines and pollution control norms? Such lapses endanger public health and raise serious concerns about oversight, accountability, and the enforcement of regulations by the authorities concerned.” Action awaited Though the MPCB has acted against the RMC plant in Kurla, action is awaited in a similar case involving similar units being set up near the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
16 December,2025 07:27 AM IST | Mumbai | Ranjeet JadhavThe Matunga Z Bridge, a crucial pedestrian link between the Central and Western Railway stations, has become the latest casualty of bureaucratic buck-passing. While commuters dodge trash daily, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Indian Railways continue to point fingers at each other over who is responsible for keeping the bridge clean. Despite being rebuilt and reopened in March 2025, the bridge now sees garbage piling up along its stretch, forcing students, office goers and residents to navigate filth every day. The bridge connects key educational hubs, including IES, Raja Shivaji school complex, Ruia, Ruparel, Khalsa, Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute, and Welingkar, as well as the nearby flower and vegetable markets and temples. When the social media handle MumbaiMatterz flagged the issue, two contradictory replies followed, one claiming the BMC is responsible for maintenance and the other insisting the station master must manage it. ‘Why is this so hard?’ “I start every day with one eye on the watch and the other on the rubbish. Waste has been accumulating ever since the bridge opened,” said commuter Rohan Deshmukh. “What happened to Swachh Bharat? These drives seem to happen only for campaigns and photo ops. Someone needs to take responsibility,” said college student Kartik Acharya. “Z Bridge needs dustbins and daily cleaning, nothing more. Why is this so hard?” said commuter Amit Pai. Commuters wade through filth on the Matunga Z Bridge amid an ongoing BMC-Railways blame game. Pics/Shadab Khan Khalsa College student Amira Shaikh described the bridge as “dangerous” and “shameful for a city that boasts about its infrastructure. They rebuilt it but forgot basic upkeep.” Official speak Railway officials clarified that the bridge is technically a civic bridge under the BMC, since no ticket is required to cross it. Railways only carried out the structural upgrade using BMC funds. Civic officials said there is no specific policy for cleaning foot overbridges, with beat chowkies traditionally covering streets and alleys. They added that they would “look into the matter.” Backstory The earlier open-air Z Bridge stood for nearly a century, adjacent to the Matunga workshop, and famously appeared in Bollywood films. It also carried local legends of ghosts, adding to its folklore charm before it was demolished for the new structure.
