BMC chief orders joint survey of waterlogging-prone spots in Mumbai

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) chief Bhushan Gagrani on Friday chaired a high-level monsoon preparedness meeting and ordered a joint survey of waterlogging-prone spots in city, the officials said. Gagrani ordered all BMC ward officials to make sure that debris and barricades are removed after the work is completed ahead of the Mumbai monsoon, they said. A joint survey of waterlogging-prone spots should be conducted, and necessary measures should be planned. Proper coordination among all agencies is essential to ensure uninterrupted suburban railway services, Gagrani stated, the officials said. Bhushan Gagrani chaired a district disaster management authority's pre-monsoon meeting, which was held at the civic headquarters on Friday. During the meeting, he said all agencies working under MMRDA, Metro projects, and other development must ensure that no debris is left at project sites. Assistant Commissioners of each ward must coordinate with respective agencies to remove construction debris. Once the local work is complete, barricades should be removed to restore traffic movement, they said. All additional Commissioners and other officials of the BMC, along with representatives of other government agencies, were present for the meeting. In this meeting, Gagrani also directed that the public announcement systems in railway stations remain operational and that tree trimming within railway premises be completed by the end of May, an official said. According to the official, during heavy rains, dewatering pumps are installed in low-lying areas. This year, 482 such pumps will be deployed across the city and suburbs. The civic chief suggested that geo-tagging should be used to track their operation, and any pump failing to function on time must result in action against the responsible officials. Certain locations in Mumbai’s eastern suburbs are prone to landslides. The district administration should coordinate and implement precautionary measures in these areas. Citizens living in landslide-prone zones should be relocated to safer places, and they should be given disaster preparedness training, he instructed. National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) officials assured that their teams will remain ready for emergency rescue operations in Mumbai during the monsoon. The Indian Navy has also been directed to keep its teams and divers on standby, the officials said.

They are also eligible for free transactions (inclusive of financial and non-financial transactions) from other bank ATMs -- three transactions in metro centres and five in non-metro centres. "Beyond the free transactions, a customer may be charged a maximum fee of Rs 23 per transaction. This shall be effective from May 1, 2025," the RBI said in a circular. Currently, banks are allowed to charge Rs 21 per transaction, after a customer exhausts the free transaction limit. The RBI further said the instructions shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to transactions done at cash recycler machines (other than for cash deposit transactions).  This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

Maharashtra: Four history-sheeters externed from Latur for one year

Four history-sheeters were externed from Latur district limits for a period of one year as part of efforts to curb criminal activities and to maintain law and order, a police official said on Friday, reported news agency PTI. The action against the four, who had formed gangs within the jurisdiction of MIDC police station, was taken under Section 55 of Maharashtra Police Act 1951 on the directives of Superintendent of Police Somay Munde, he said. The official identified the four as Latur tehsil residents Abhi alias Basaweshwar Urgunde Patil, Vishal Subhash Urgunde Patil, Sanjay Bharat Mule (all three resident of Raiwadi, Latur tehsil) and Prasad Babruwan Pawar from Nagzari, reported PTI. The four were involved in crime incidents that disrupted public order, damaged property and instilled fear among law-abiding citizens, he said. Couple held for killing 'adopted' 4-year-old daughter in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district A couple from Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district has been arrested for allegedly killing their "adopted" 4-year-old daughter, an official said on Friday, reported PTI. Sillod residents and accused Fauzia Shaikh (27) and her husband Faheem Shaikh (35) also tried to hush up the alleged crime by attempting to carry out the child's final rites hastily, he said, reported PTI. The couple has told the police that they had adopted the child, Aayat, six months ago. The kid was taken to the sub-district hospital around 3 am on Wednesday, but doctors declared her dead, reported PTI. However, someone from their locality tipped the police that the child did not die of any natural causes, like an illness or some health condition, the official said. Police moved swiftly and stopped Fauzia and Faheem from burying Aayat's body, which was sent for post-mortem. "Autopsy pointed to multiple injuries on Aayat's body. Fauzia told the police that she would beat up the child. While we have booked the couple for murder, we are also trying to ascertain if they adopted the child legally," said the official from the Sillod police station, reported PTI. After the completion of all formalities, the child was buried on Thursday evening. "The parents will be presented in court today (Friday)," the official added. (With inputs from PTI)

The 48-meter-long and 6.30-meter-wide bridge was rebuilt at a cost of Rs 6.50 crore. Two additional staircases (south-facing) on the east and west sides are set to be handed over to MCA by April 7, 2025. To enhance security, lighting and surveillance cameras have also been installed by MCA.

Mumbai: BMC increases fine for open waste burning to Rs 1,000 from April 1

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced a tenfold increase in the fine for open waste burning, raising it from Rs 100 to Rs 1,000, effective April 1, 2025. This move aims to curb air pollution and promote environmental awareness. To ensure strict enforcement, teams at the ward level have been formed to monitor and prevent open waste burning. Each team will consist of a Junior Supervisor from the Solid Waste Management Department, a Nuisance Detector (ND Staff), and a Mukadam. The Brihanmumbai Sanitation and Health Bye-Laws, 2006, framed under Section 462 (EE) of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888, governs solid waste management. Under the guidance of Municipal Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani and Additional Municipal Commissioner (City) Dr. (Mrs.) Ashwini Joshi, the BMC is reinforcing public compliance with waste disposal regulations. Deputy Commissioner (Solid Waste Management) Kiran Dighavkar highlighted that open waste burning releases toxic gases and particulate matter, significantly deteriorating air quality and increasing respiratory diseases. Despite previous fines, violations continued, prompting the administration to introduce the Rs 1,000 penalty. Open burning is frequently observed in open plots, construction sites, and roadside areas, where dry leaves and mixed waste are commonly incinerated. The new fine aims to deter such practices and protect Mumbai’s air quality. The enforcement teams will not only penalize offenders on the spot but will also engage in citizen awareness programs to promote environmental conservation. The BMC urges all citizens to comply with the new regulations and contribute to a cleaner, healthier Mumbai.
