Provide market to Nerul residents
Any residential area today needs three basic places. First is the market. Next is the hospital. And the last is educational institution. No residential area is complete without these three. A man can survive without educational institutions. He can manage without a hospital. But he just cannot survive without a market. Market in the vicinity is the first and foremost need of man. When man became a civilized being he first built a market, next the hospital and lastly the educational institution.
Market is undoubtedly the number one need of any residential complex. A market that provides grains, cereals, fruits, vegetables, meat etc is absolutely essential. There is no doubt about that. Yet during the general body meeting held at (NMMC) Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation's headquarter a proposal of constructing market on an open plot at Nerul did not get the approval. Strange!
The NMMC administration proposed to construct a market on an open plot no. 16 at sector 20 of Nerul. A decision was made that a market would be constructed on the open plot admeasuring 540 sq meters. An eminent architect was also appointed to prepare the master plan. The architect even submitted the plan of the first and ground floor of the proposed market which needed to come up owing to the growing demand for daily markets in the area. The civic body even appropriated Rs 1.10 cr. for developing the market. But when a resolution in this context was moved in the general assembly for approval, majority opposed. This was not expected.
It is true that some residents would use this plot reserved for market to conduct community events and celebrations. These people, some social organizations and the villagers are protesting development of the markets. But these people are not the representatives of the majority who want the market to come up there. The market is badly needed there since there is no market in the area and residents are forced to travel a long way for purchasing groceries and foodstuffs. Also that particular plot has been earmarked for constructing of market. Then why should that plot be allowed to be used for any other purpose? So the protest is negligible and does not carry any weight. In the general body meet, this proposal to construct the market should have been supported unanimousl y. It is strange that the proposal was opposed by majority. Let us hope that in the next general body meeting, sense will prevail and the majority or everybody will support the proposal. After all these residents are demanding a market, not a garden!
