NAVI MUMBAIKARS SPEAK How safe is Navi Mumbai in your view?

The satellite city is more spacious and well-planned existing population data and available police staff, could be termed as than Mumbai. It has all the modern amenities and is still in touch with moderate or low, compared to the other cities in the region. In view of the environment, unlike Mumbai which seems more crowded. When it the fact that presently Navi Mumbai is still most sought after for buying comes to law and order in the city and safety point of view of residents, residential and commercial properties, it is felt, that Navi Mumbai could the level of crime is lower than other metro cities and developed areas. be considered to be safer.

All things considered, this city puts me in a peaceful state of mind when the safety of my family and the rest of the citizens in Navi Mumbai is considered. I think that Navi Mumbai is mostly safe. In terms of travelling by any Anuj Kumar Pandey, Educationist and Social Activist, Nerul mode you find that trains to and fro to Navi Mumbai are less crowded I was born and bought up here in Navi Mumbai.
