🔹मुंबईकर नागरिकांनी नदी / नाल्‍यांमध्‍ये घनकचरा, तरंगता कचरा आणि अवजड साहित्‍य टाकू नये असे आवाहन महानगरपालिका प्रशासनातर्फे करण्‍यात येत आहे. #MyBMCUpdates @CMOMaharashtra @mieknathshinde @SunetraA_Pawar @ShelarAshish @MPLodha @TawdeRitu @misanjayghadi @AshwiniBhide

According to my friend @ranjeetnature this is happening in an Eco Sensitive Zone on the boundary of SGNP, Mumbai. Debris being dumped, green is becoming grey, @AshwiniBhide mam as the chair of ESZ, I request you to take immediate action against the perpetrators. In my opinion dumping of debris in ESZ isn’t permitted.

Bandra East off the Western Express Highway — plastic-filled drains flow into the Mithi River and Arabian Sea year after year. Why is the current government still not fixing this under their watch? Fix the root cause. @mybmc @CMOMaharashtra #Mumbai #MithiRiver #PlasticPollution

This is Gujarat model- no wonder things are bad just 200 kms from Mumbai!! Who do we blame for this? Umm 😳

Hon’ble CM @Dev_Fadnavis, It is painful to see the Maharashtra Government finally deciding to destroy Mulund — once known as one of Mumbai’s most planned and beautiful suburbs. After electing all 6 corporators and the local MLA from the ruling party, Mulundkars now feel betrayed. Salt pan lands meant for natural drainage are being opened for commercial towers and massive rehabilitation projects, putting unbearable pressure on infrastructure and increasing the risk of flooding. Sadly, residents now have no option but to live with this decision — or hope for a change in government so that this disastrous policy is reversed. We thank journalist @sameerreporter Sameer Surve and @mumbaimirror Mumbai Mirror for bringing these facts before the public. @VarshaEGaikwad @AUThackeray @SDPatil_16 @BJP4Mumbai @Shivsenaofc @ShivSenaUBT_ @INCMumbai #MulundMatters #SaltPanLand #UrbanFlooding #DharaviRehabilitation

The illegal structure on the Western Express Highway still stands tall — a symbol of corruption and negligence. Have we forgotten the lives lost in the tragic #Ghatkopar hoarding collapse? Action cannot wait. @mybmc @CMOMaharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis #PublicSafety

8:30 am and @mybmcWardHW @mybmchealth @mybmc has not yet come to clear garbage right below their notice!

Workers? Allegedly hired by @mybmcWardHW to clean drains before the monsoon . Can’t see any supervision. Instead, there’s noise and filth, directly outside a large residential building. @mybmc @MumbaiPolice @AshwiniBhide

Hello @MumbaiPolice Is it OK for Mumbai Police Jeeps to reverse on the Coastal Road? Not once. But often. This is Worli Sea Face to Coastal Road entry ramp. With police jeeps reversing on it

Madness and greed has no limit. The man who proposed this needs to be in prison, if he is of sane mind. Otherwise needs help. To even think of proposing that Sanjay Gandhi National Park can have university and housing for 5 lakh people! What’s this obsession with environment vandalism? What’s this hate for our planet? We Mumbaikars don’t want it! Don’t touch our forests and ruin our city.

The complete dewatering of Bandra Talao has exposed what many of us have been highlighting for long. The emptied lake clearly shows no major sewage inflow channels from surrounding areas, while natural springs continue to remain active even after dewatering. What was actually lacking for decades was proper circulation and continuous aeration of the water, which led to stagnation and the greening of the lake. If this core issue is not addressed, then even after spending ₹15 crore of public money, we may end up seeing the same situation repeat itself a few years later. @mybmc @mybmcInfra track record unfortunately has often been stronger on spending on big-ticket projects than ensuring regular maintenance and sustained upkeep. Restoration must focus on solving the root cause, not just expensive interventions. @mybmcWardHW @INCMumbai #BandraTalao #Mumbai

@TawdeRitu Nagrana Lane Bandra has become a daily hotspot for public drinking and alleged open drug peddling. Families and children pass through this area every day. Immediate action and increased patrolling are urgently needed. #Bandra #Mumbai #PublicSafety

The complete dewatering of Swami Vivekanand Sarovar #BandraTalao @mybmcWardHW has now exposed some uncomfortable truths - exactly the concerns repeatedly raised earlier. The emptied talao clearly shows there is no major sewerage connectivity flowing into the lake from surrounding areas, despite this being used as one of the justifications for costly interventions. What is now visible is equally important, the natural springs remain active even after complete dewatering, with water still percolating into the talao. This raises serious concerns, during desilting and dredging, what safeguards exist to protect these natural springs?? Any damage could permanently alter the talao’s ecology and even risk drying up this historic water body in future. If sewer inflow was not the real issue, was an expensive Sewerage Treatment Plant even required ? The declining water quality perhaps had more to do with decades of stagnation and lack of continuous aeration/oxygenation. Could sustained aeration have solved the issue at one-third the cost ? Sadly @mybmc often appears more focused on awarding big-ticket contracts than practical, sustainable solutions. Bigger question is after completion, who will maintain and operate this STP ?? Given @mybmc @mybmcInfra poor maintenance track record, will this become yet another expensive white elephant funded by taxpayers ?? Mumbaikars deserve answers. All these concerns were repeatedly raised... #Bandra #BandraTalao #Mumbai #BMC

@mybmcWardHW @mybmc St Andrews Road, Chapel Road, Waroda Road....it's all over Bandra

@CommunityBandra @mybmc We regret your inconvenience. Please share the exact location for us to help you better.

Every year it’s the same: drains get “cleaned,” silt is left on the road, and the next rain washes it back in. Why isn’t the contractor disposing of it properly? Please fix the process, not just repeat it. @mybmc @mayor_mumbai @mybmcWardHW

The area around #chimbai @joggerspark #bandra #mumbai has become a den of vice after dark. Drugs, drinking and even prostitution. Request the @MumbaiPolice to help! @CPMumbaiPolice @mybmcWardHW @AshwiniBhide

Another Flourishing Kabutarkhana promoted by @mybmc @mybmcwardGN Maybe it's a major amenity of the High Rise coming behind it. 📌 Location clearly visible
