In a unique early morning civic inspection aimed at promoting sustainability and ensuring better ground-level governance, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) chief Dr Kailas Shinde on Saturday conducted a bicycle inspection tour across several parts of Belapur and Nerul along with senior officials of the civic body.

The three-hour inspection, held between 6 am and 9 am, was undertaken in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent appeal to citizens in the backdrop of the West Asian crisis and the Maharashtra government’s advisory encouraging fuel conservation and environmentally conscious practices.
