Rohit Pawar accuses Ram Shinde of destabilising Karjat civic body
NCP (SP) legislator Rohit Pawar on Thursday accused Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Maharashtra Legislative Council Chairperson Ram Shinde as well as the state government of using "dirty political tactics" to destabilise Karjat Municipal Council and undermine his leadership, news agency PTI reported. This whole political game, in which pressure, threats and enticements are being used, is designed to create problems for him, alleged Pawar. "Ram Shinde is yet come to terms with his loss to me in the 2014 and 2019 assembly polls from Karjat Jamkhed. We established control of the Karjat Municipal Council three years ago. It was the result of our efforts, and the majority of the council members are from Congress and NCP (SP), with only two from the BJP," he said, according to PTI. Calling the government’s actions politically motivated, the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) leader further alleged, "Now, they have taken action against the municipal chairperson, including submitting a no-confidence motion and changing the schedule for meetings and procedures. A recent order issued by the state government altered the legal framework governing the Karjat Municipal Council.” A new order was issued on Tuesday, postponing a meeting that was originally scheduled on April 22, pointed out the Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) from the Karjat-Jamkhed Constitutency, according to PTI. As per the new order, a meeting is now set for April 21, he added. "All this is being done for political purposes. Meetings are being held at Ram Shinde's office in the legislative council. It is a sheer violation of the sanctity of the office The district collector and tehsildar are being dragged into this political game. The focus is entirely on Karjat, while other important issues like setting up of Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) in Karjat tehsil and basic infrastructure development are being ignored," alleged Pawar. Accusing Shinde of neglecting key development issues in Karjat, Pawar said that water proposals are pending. "Efforts are being made to prevent justice from being served in court as well. It is clear Shinde is trying to undermine the Mali community and disrupt the progress we have made. Shinde is also blocking development funds for the constituency. I have used my own money to help the people," he claimed. Shinde could not be contacted for comments. (With PTI inputs)

BMC insists on field dry density tests for quality concrete roads
During a late night inspection of the ongoing concrete roadworks across the western suburbs, Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects) Abhijit Bangar issued several key directives aimed at enhancing quality control and environmental responsibility in road construction projects under the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). One of the prominent concerns raised by Bangar was the impact of road widening works near the LIC Colony on the Ayappa Mandir Road in Borivali (West), where several trees were found to be affected. He instructed that the road alignment be modified wherever trees are at risk, and that maximum efforts be taken to preserve greenery during development. "Tree conservation must be prioritised, and harm to existing trees should be avoided," he stated. Addressing the importance of durability and strength in roadworks, Bangar made it compulsory to conduct Field Dry Density (FDD) tests at all sites where Dry Lean Concrete (DLC) layers are being laid. This testing ensures that the soil beneath has the required compaction before applying Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC). The DLC, a dry mixture with a lower cement ratio, forms a base layer to support heavier traffic loads. Post-compaction via road rollers, the FDD test confirms adequate compaction levels. If results are unsatisfactory, additional rolling is required. On Wednesday night, Bangar visited multiple sites in Mumbai's western suburbs, including Santacruz (East), Jogeshwari (East), Goregaon (West), and Borivali (West). At Santacruz and Goregaon, the groundwork involving DLC was underway, setting the stage for subsequent PQC application. Reviewing projects under Phases I and II, Bangar sought detailed information on roads likely to be completed by May 31, especially those that could be finished junction-to-junction. He emphasised the importance of synchronised progress and quality, stating that speed should not compromise construction standards.He also inspected Jogeshwari East’s Hanuman Nagar, where ongoing works are adjacent to recently completed sections in Natwar Nagar. He advised engineers to connect new and existing roads in a planned manner, ensure joint quality to prevent cracks, and clean stormwater and sewage lines prior to the monsoon. Further, he instructed the team to avoid debris and construction materials from blocking drainage systems.In several locations, where construction requires traffic diversion, Bangar urged prompt follow-up for No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from the Mumbai Traffic Police to avoid delays. On Tuesday alone, concrete totalling 3,116 cubic metres was poured across 101 roadwork locations in the western suburbs, reflecting a marked increase in pace. “The momentum in project execution is evident,” Bangar said, while also stressing that this must go hand-in-hand with quality assurance. Roads not yet under construction must be safeguarded against developing potholes, and additional manpower should be deployed where necessary to complete pending works efficiently, he directed the officials. The additional civic commissioner said that work from start to finish must remain under tight control, with daily reports compiled and any hurdles swiftly escalated to senior management.Bangar began the inspection tour with an unannounced visit to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Road between Santacruz East and Kalina Military Camp. Here, certain sections were under concrete layering, while others had deteriorated shoulders. He instructed engineers to complete junction-to-junction work on this stretch by May 31, 2025 and make the remaining sections motorable using mastic treatment.Throughout the inspection, key tests such as slump tests, cube tests, moisture content checks, and FDD evaluations were conducted. The results were reported as satisfactory.The site visits were also attended by Professor Solomon Debbarma from IIT-Bombay, Chief Engineer (Roads & Traffic) Girish Nikam, Deputy Chief Engineer (Western Suburbs) Sanjay Borse, and representatives from the quality control team.

CM Fadnavis approves environmental clearance for Gargai Dam project
In a significant move to address the drinking water needs of Mumbaikars, Chief Minister (CM) Devendra Fadnavis has granted approval for the wildlife and environmental clearances required for the Gargai Dam project. The state also decided to finalise the tiger corridor routes based on the maps available on the Central Government’s PARIVESH portal. Private lands falling within these tiger corridors will be acquired with the consent of the farmers. The decisions were taken in the 24th meeting of the Maharashtra State Wildlife Board held on Thursday at Mantralaya under the CM’s chairmanship. The meeting was attended by Forest Minister Ganesh Naik, Ministers of State Ashish Jaiswal and Pankaj Bhoyar, Chief Secretary Sujata Saunik, Chief Economic Advisor to the CM Pravin Pardeshi, Additional Chief Secretary of the Forest Department Milind Mhaiskar, CM’s Secretary Shriekar Pardeshi, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Forest Force) Shomita Biswas, and Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife) Shrinivas Rao. Fadnavis stated that the Gargai project is crucial for the city, given its growing population. With the approval of 844.879 hectares of forest land for diversion, Mumbai will now receive additional potable water. He further directed the forest department to issue the necessary wildlife and environmental clearances, subject to compliance with conditions. A complete proposal should be promptly submitted to the National Wildlife Board to obtain clearance, thereby accelerating the Gargai Dam project. The officials also held an in-depth discussion on the development projects falling within protected and eco-sensitive zones along tiger corridors, as recommended by the Standing Committee of the State Wildlife Board. It was decided to delineate tiger corridors in accordance with the maps on the PARIVESH portal. The state said private lands along these routes should be voluntarily acquired. Furthermore, the CM also emphasised that in exchange for forest lands diverted for infrastructure and other projects, private plots adjacent to the tiger corridors should be voluntarily acquired for afforestation. Other important proposals approved during the meeting included reducing forest department notations in the land records (7/12 extracts) of villagers at Janaiwadi in Chandoli National Park in Sangli and granting permission for a floating solar energy project within the protected area of the Jayakwadi Bird Sanctuary in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district.

Sena (UBT) to launch agitation for water supply to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) will launch a month-long agitation on Friday to demand better water supply for Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in Maharashtra, a senior party leader said on Thursday, reported the PTI. Addressing a press conference, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Ambadas Danve said that the city requires 240 MLD (million litres per day) of water but gets only 140 MLD. "The civic body says it provides water once every four days, but the minimum gap between two supplies is eight days, and it even extends to 12 days at times," he said, according to the PTI. The city gets water only 25-26 times a year, but the water tax is collected for the entire year, he claimed. "We will launch a month-long agitation tomorrow (Friday). Our leaders will also review the pipeline work from Jayakwadi dam to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar city," he said, as per the PTI. Danve said they will start a signature campaign and an online petition to press for their demand for better water supply to the city. "An exhibition of photographs concerning water scarcity will also be held in different parts of the city. The agitation will end with a rally of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray," Ambadas Danve said, the news agency reported. Meanwhile, earlier, the Shiv Sena (UBT) on Tuesday held protests outside the ward offices of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in Mumbai alleging water shortage in the city. The Uddhav Thackeray-led party's protests came a day after tanker operators withdrew their strike on Monday following after the BMC invoked the Disaster Management Act to requisition private water tankers and wells a day before. According to the PTI, party MLA Mahesh Sawant along with several workers staged protests in Dadar area of Mumbai. "Everyday, there are complaints of water shortage in the city," he claimed, as per the PTI. The Mumbai Water Tanker Association (MWTA) went on indefinite strike on April 10 against a notice issued by the BMC to owners of private wells that supply water tankers to the city. The civic body directed owners of wells to obtain a licence from the Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) first. The Shiv Sena (UBT) said even as the strike was called off, the water woes persist in the city. The party workers also protested the proposed imposition of a user fee for solid waste management in the city. (with PTI inputs)

Navi Mumbai's DPS Flamingo Lake to get conservation reserve status
In a big victory for environmentalists, the Maharashtra State Wildlife Board on Thursday endorsed an official recommendation to declare the 30-acre DPS Flamingo Lake in Navi Mumbai as a conservation reserve. This is the first wetland, part of the Thane Creek Flamingo Sanctuary’s (TCFS) satellite wetland ecosystem, to be protected as a conservation property. The pink birds from TCFS fly into the satellite wetlands during high tide. The state wildlife board, which met in Mumbai, has ratified both the recommendation and widespread public demand. Forest Minister Ganesh Naik, who is also the vice-chairman of the Board, strongly advocated for the proposal at the government level. Naik explained to the members that the lake is a crucial resting and feeding ground for flamingos, and thus, its protection is vital for the city's biodiversity. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who chaired the meeting, announced that the proposal, listed as Agenda 4.1, has been officially endorsed. NatConnect Foundation director BN Kumar had earlier approached Naik with a recommendation from a high-level government committee to conserve the lake. He has now expressed his happiness over the state's decision. NatConnect, Navi Mumbai Environment Preservation Society (NMEPS), Save Flamingos and Wetlands Forum and Kharghar Wetlands and Hills forum had also formed a human chain last year on two occasions to draw attention on the plight of the flamingo abode. DPS Flamingo Lake is part of the Ramsar-site listed Thane Creek Flamingo Sanctuary’s satellite wetland ecosystem. Many flamingos fly to the Panje, DPS lake, and NRI and TS Chanakya wetlands during high tide in the creek for resting and in search of food. The Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) has repeatedly recommended that these satellite wetlands must be conserved as part of the TCFS management plan. "The SBWL took a decision to declare DPS wetland in Navi Mumbai as Flamingo Conservation Reserve," Bombay Natural History Society director Kishor Rithe, who attended the meeting, told PTI. "DPS lake conservation reserve will help to avoid air accidents in future at Navi Mumbai international airport. The BNHS is doing a long term study at several wetlands in Navi Mumbai," Rithe said.
