BMC fails to start work on potholes
RELATED
Of the 95 potholes, around 55 have been reported by engineers of the roads department, and the rest by engineers at the ward level. No pothole reported at the ward level has been considered yet for filling.
Civic officials say contractors are yet to mobilize machinery and labour, and this is the reason for the delay.
According to data on the BMC's pothole-tracking website, a total of 26,285 potholes were reported since last monsoon to June 1, of which 25,026 have been attended to. Most of the unattended potholes are ones reported on roads managed by other agencies, like the MMRDA, PWD, Mhada and BPT. A total of 883 potholes were reported on roads belonging to these agencies.
Meanwhile, civic standing committee members have come down heavily on additional municipal commissioner Aseem Gupta, who is in charge of roads, saying that all projects in his department are pending.
Former deputy mayor and BJP corporator Shailaja Girkar said Gupta had promised her that the bridge being built on Poisar river would be completed before the monsoon. "That bridge is being built for the last four years and has still not been completed. I do not know why this work is taking so much time and why no action has been initiated against the contractor."

Another Maharashtra airport plan ‘lands’ in trouble
RELATED
The government is facing difficulties in acquiring the 3,300 hectares of land required for the project.
Initial plan was to acquire land from seven villages in Chakan. However, since most of the affected land is under irrigation, villages here have presented a stiff opposition to the move.
An alternative plan to set up the airport on land acquired for a private SEZ in the Khed-Chakan area has also hit a hurdle with the SEZ developer unwilling to part with all the land.
On Friday, chief minister Prithviraj Chavan was briefed about the difficulties in finalizing a site for the airport. In a last-ditch attempt, Chavan asked officials to examine the feasibility of setting up the project on another piece of land near the SEZ.
"We are trying to find a feasible solution that does not affect the SEZ project," Maharashtra Airport Development Corporation chairman U P S Madan said.
Officials of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) will conduct the feasibility survey for the new site, which could take a month or so.
This land, however, is only about 1,000 hectares, way short of what was initially planned. Madan agreed that the airport project might have to be downscaled.
With the Navi Mumbai airport facing land acquisition trouble, the government is considering the Chakan airport as an alternative option to decongest air traffic over Mumbai.
