The dump is dangerously close to an ONGC valve station and the oil company too raised a red flag. But nothing deters the Municipal Council, Kumar lamented. “The instructions from the High Court appointed Mangrove Protection and Conser- vation Committee dated December 9 have also been ignored,” he added. “Now, UMC is also spraying pesticides in large volumes further increasing serious health hazards for the people living around,” said local resident Samir Ashrit. Two consecutive inspections by the revenue-for- est combine teams have earlier confirmed the death of mangroves and the menace of the stinking gar- bage faced by the residents, yet the local adminis- tration did not budge. Fed up with endless waiting and official inaction, the residents, including scores of women, filed a series of 80 identical complaints against the civic officials at the end of a protest march to the Tehsildar office under the leadership Uran Yuva platform on January 18, 2020. “It is shocking that the administration has so far not taken any action to check the dumping de- spite orders from the High Court appointed Man- grove Committee to stop the nuisance immediate- ly and find alternative place for garbage,” said Nan- dakumar Pawar, head of NGO Shri Ekvira Aai Pratishtan.

The modes of transport have multiplied and the vehicular density is increasing exponentially with every passing year. However the quality and quantity of the road net- work and traffic control aids have not kept pace with the de- mand. The traffic discipline has deteriorated and there seems to be no respect for the traffic rules and the traffic authorities. Rather the young generation seems to enjoy flouting the traffic rules and seems to take pride in driving fast but rash imitating Bollywood movies. Many of them take pride in driving vehicles even before they attain the mandatory qualifying age of 18 years, to be eligible to possess a driving license. They do not have even the slightest inkling that by their behavior they are not only playing with their lives, but are also putting to risk the lives of other commuters. It is very unfortunate that the statistics for the road accidents are increasing at an alarming pace, matching Mr. Kushal Banerjee, General Manager & Business Development, HPCL in conversation the pace at which the people are driving these modern machines. with Magenta Power Team.
