NMMC to kill two birds with one stone?In 1973, CIDCO had developed open nullah in every residential node of Navi Mumbai in order to drain out the storm water into the creek. Thereafter, several residential colonies had come up and people had started complaining of bad odour coming from the nullahs.
Sector 17 of Vashi too faced this problem. First of all, after the end of monsoon season, the nullahs dry up and emanate a stench till the next rains. As if this is not enough, there is located at Vashi the Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP) and the nullahs stink still more owing to discharge of pollutants flowing from the STP. NMMC then came up with a brilliant idea of not only covering this nullah but also constructing a multistoried parking place after covering the open nullah that extends from Shivaji Chowk to Arenja Corner. NMMC is prepared to spend 5 crore rupees for this project. The multistoried parking lot will house some 200 vehicles for a reasonable parking charge. Fantastic idea!
It was former municipal Commissioner of Navi Mumbai Vijay Nahata who had come up with the idea of covering all open nullahs and sewerage in the city. The present municipal commissioner Bhaskar Wankhede has made a good decision that of implementing his predecessor's idea. That's really great! Wankhede deserves an applaud for initiating this move.
The open nullah at Vashi has in its neighbourhood many housing societies, schools, government and private offices, eateries, offices of MTNL, Mumbai Secondary Board and commercial offices. All these places consist of huge number of people who have to tolerate the stink emanating from these nullahs. Hence NMMC has done a great job by proposing to cover the nullah at Vashi first and foremost and to build over there multi-storied parking lot. Thus NMMC has decided to kill two birds with one stone. If this proposal is approved by Standing Committee and General Assembly, then NMMC will have succeeded in solving problems relating to stinking open nullahs as well as lack of sufficient parking space in Vashi. Well done, NMMC!
