  • Brief Summary of the Proposed Ropeway Project at Matheran
    Brief Summary of the Proposed Ropeway Project at Matheran Matheran is the hill station and a municipal council in the Raigad district in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is a hill station in Karjat Tehsil and is also the smallest hill station in India. It is located on the Western Ghats range at an elevation of around 800 m (2,625 feet) above sea level. It is located around 90 km from Mumbai, and 120 km from Pune. Matheran's proximity to many metropolitan cities makes it a popular weekend getaway for urban residents. Matheran, which means "forest on the forehead" (of the mountains) is an eco- sensitive region, declared by the Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India. It is Asia's only automobile-free hill station. Transportation facilities for tourist, local people and other travelling to Matheran from the plains are poor. Railway was the only transport facility for reaching Matheran prior to 1974. However consequent strike by railway employees in 1974 distrupting the transportation of Matheran, temporary road from Neral to Matheran was constructed by local people. The local people later on tried their best to move the government to get the road widened and safe by constructing railing and by removing unsafe road turning in the hills. The request was also made to state government Minibus on this route, but the government did not take any action in this matter. Thus there is no scientifically planned and safely constructed road to Matheran. Road transport is available from Neral upto Dasturi Plateau and from this plateau one has to walk 2-3km toward matheran.

    Indian J. Applied & Pure Bio. Vol. 31(1), 1-5 (2016). Some epiphytic mosses of Mumbai Gauri Soman Department of Botany, Maharshi Dayanand College, Parel Mumbai-400012 (India) Abstract Mosses of Mumbai area were explored with special emphasis on epiphytic ones. The epiphytes are also known as "Space parasites", as they do not depend on the host plant for their nutrition because by virtue of the presence of chlorophyll they are autotrophic and carry out the function of photosynthesis. In the present paper five different species of epiphytic mosses have so far been encountered growing on various arboreal species in Mumbai area. These are Macromitrium sulcatum (Hook.) Brid, Octoblepharum albidum Hedw., Calymperes thwaitessii (Beisch.) Fleisch, Erpodium magnifera C. Muell. and Stereohyllum tavoyense (Hook.) Jaeg. Mosses are a highly developed group indicators to pollution. This aspect is of very of Bryophytes, occupying unique position much importance to environmentalists and of between lower cryptogams and vascular great revelence in redeveloping and framing cryptogams. They, like lower cryptogams, have the urbanization aspects of commercial capital filamentous protonema looking like some green of India – Mumbai. Work of a number of filamentous algae and like high cryptogams workers has been consulted for the preparation they have a conducting strands. Systematic of this manuscript1-14. studies on some members of this group are available in the form of moss floras of Eastern Indian mosses have attracted the India (monographic work of Gangulee 1969, attention of many bryologist like Hamilton 71, 74) North West Himalayas3 and Nilgiris (1802-1803) who explored the moss flora of (Foreau, 1917) and by different workers, but Nepal, Burma and Assam.

  • Transport Sector Dynamics and Its Contribution to Urban Health Burden in a Rapidly Growing Metropolitan Areas of India
    Transport Sector Dynamics and Its Contribution to Urban Health Burden in a Rapidly growing Metropolitan Areas of India Dr. Rakesh Kumar Chief Scientist and Head National Environmental Engineering Research Institute, Mumbai Zonal Center Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Introduction The transportation sector could be attributed to wide range of issues viz. air pollution, noise, congestion, accidents and increased travel time as also responsible for quality of life. Asian developing cities, with the expected increase in levels of industrialization and further economic growth, would eventually have to target air pollution control and sustainable transport issues more vigorously than before in the short as well as the long term. The travel behavior and the mode of transport (transformed to motorized transport) is not only increasing the vehicle kilometers traveled per day, but also exerting pressure on the limited infrastructure, leading to traffic congestion, idling, and pollution. The rapid growth in the number of vehicles, increased fuel combustion, poor traffic management, and lack of sufficient public transport has led to rapid deterioration of air quality and consequent increase in diseases burden. The extended commuting times due to congestion and expansion of the city areas results in longer exposure times to increasing pollution and health impacts. Source: SIM working paper series, SIM-10-2009 Share of Transport Emissions Contributing to the Measured Ambient Air Quality in Asia At the global level, there is a general consensus that oil is going to remain a major transport fuel, and that the world has to confront the environmental implications of oil-based transport, for at least the next three to four decades.
