This report is the second semi-annual report on environmental safeguards compliance of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Authority for Line 07 Project. It covers the period from September 2019 to February 2020. 2. Mumbai does have a very good transportation system but has not been able to keep pace with the increasing demand. The carrying capacity of the Rail and bus-based system has been increased considerably over the last 4 – 5 decades but traffic has increased much faster. Due to various constraints of existing system as also the limitations in increasing their carrying capacity, a new Mass Rapid Transit System is essential to take care for the next few decades. 3. A master plan has been prepared and various corridors finalized. The master plan includes a total length of 338 kms. The 07 network will cover Andheri East to Dahisar East for providing seamless transportation for the Citizens of Mumbai. 4. Mumbai Metro Line – 07 route length is 16.475 Km & is designed completely on elevated corridor comprising of 13 stations. It will provide interconnectivity among the existing Western Express Highway, Eastern Express Highway, Western Railway, Central Railway, Monorail, Metro Line 1 (Ghatkopar to Versova) and Metro Line 2A (Dahisar to D N Nagar), Metro Line 4 (Wadala to Kasarvadavali) & Metro Line 3 (Colaba to SEEPZ) under implementation & also provide connectivity between the Eastern & Western Suburban Mumbai. 5. Implementation of Andheri-E to Dahisar-E corridor of Mumbai Metro Project, including all the works mentioned in the DPR for a length of 16.475 KM will be Executed by MMRDA for which consortium of Ayesa Ingenieria, Italfer, Consulting Engineering Group & Ayesa India Ltd (AICA) appointed as General Consultant. 6. The environmental safeguards of the project are being implemented in compliance with the loan covenants, project agreement and contractors are complying with the proposed mitigation measures described in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP); Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) Manual and the contract specifications. The implementation of environmental safeguards is being monitored at Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority level. With exception of few issues the project is being implemented in compliance with project requirement. 7. The construction works are proceeding in accordance with the provisions of the EMP such as review of monitoring reports, regulatory compliance action plan and approval by MMRDA. 8. Civil Administration, MMRDA and AICA GC has ensured round the clock availability of Rescue team consisting of Ambulance, Civil defence, Earth moving Machines & Crane. This is to ensure quick response to any problem which may arise during construction. 9. MMRDA and AICA GC officials have regularly been meeting with the local people and business associations in the project area to inform them about the construction works. Measures have been taken to address concerns of the local businesses such as stopping of work and providing proper pathways for customers during festivals. All reports and information on the project are disclosed on the MMRDA website. In addition, MMRDA has a full-time Public Relation Officer dealing with media/press issues and also maintains a Facebook page and twitter account for disclosing project information and responding to queries and concerns from the general public. 10. Various proactive measures are being taken to implement project in compliance with requirements, prevent damages, coordination with relevant agencies, communicate with the public and address grievances of the local public.

  • So What Changed in Dharavi?
    SHUBHDA CHAUDHARY | 16 JULY, 2020 So What Changed in Dharavi? Asia’s biggest slum Dharavi in the Covid Pandemic As the nation-wide lockdown was suddenly announced in March, Aatma Devi – a poor slum dweller in Dharavi – found herself battling against all odds. But she was not alone. The 8-9 lakh slum dwellers in Dharavi faced the same struggle. With the first case reported in April, Dharavi turned into a COVID hotspot. Despite being located in Mumbai – The City of Dreams – the pandemic would further jeopardise several living realities in Dharavi. The abject poverty, overcrowding, and lack of sanitation facilities in Dharavi made it an alarming challenge to immediately tackle. 80% of Dharavi’s population depended on community toilets, worsening the situation further for residents like Atma Devi. “We did not have money, even to pay for loos. Many of us, in this state of pennilessness and abandonment, used the polluted garbage disposal areas for toilet purposes,” she said. Several stories like hers have gone unreported. How could families, living in eight-by-eight foot rooms be quarantined? How would these daily-wage labourers earn their livelihood? How would sanitisation be carried out in alleyways with poor drainage and sewage facilities? The normalisation of Dharavi’s reality – poverty, labour abuse, lack of sanitation condition, poor unhygienic quality of life, domestic abuse, child labour – within India’s democratic functioning is not new. Though interestingly, the pandemic worsened it further. Several firms in Mumbai specifically discontinued the services of these slum dwellers, forcing thousands of them to return to their native towns.

  • Draft: to Be Circulated Only to Participants of the 4Th Annual
    Urban Counterterrorist Sieges: The 2008 Mumbai Attack and Police (In)capacity The Mumbai terrorist attack of 2008 exposed key vulnerabilities in India’s defences against urban terrorism. Not only did it reflect an unprecedented degree of sophistication on the part of jihadist planners, but the attack also demonstrated that the Indian policing system was woefully inadequate for the task of combating suicidal assaults. This paper will provide an analysis of the tactical and operational aspects of the Indian security response, with a view towards identifying lessons which might be valuable for the international security community. Its findings are expected to be particularly relevant in light of similar attacks carried out in Europe, Africa and North America during 2013-16. The paper describes the actual conduct of security operations on the ground in Mumbai, during the period 26-29 November 2008. It studies the response of the Indian police, army, navy and National Security Guard and demonstrates that inter-force cooperation was severely lacking. Besides clear protocols for communicating situational updates and pooling crisis intelligence, counterterrorism in India lacked a coherent public relations doctrine. Together, these shortcomings contributed to the spread of panic and multiplied the disruption caused by the attack. The paper concludes by offering suggestions for improving police responses to future urban terrorist sieges. Keywords: Terrorism, Intelligence, SWAT, India, Pakistan, Lashkar-e-Taiba Introduction Following the 13 November 2015 shooting rampage by ‘Islamic State’ militants in Paris, Western security agencies are paying close attention to the threat of ‘active shooters’. Unlike regular hostage- takers, active shooters are gunmen who randomly kill anyone they see and do not stop until cornered and arrested or shot by security forces.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by IDS OpenDocs Title: ‘These streets are ours’: Mumbai’s urban form and security in the vernacular Citation: Gupte, J. (2017) '‘These streets are ours’: Mumbai’s urban form and security in the vernacular', Peacebuilding 5.2: 203-217 https://doi.org/10.1080/21647259.2016.1277022 Official url: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/21647259.2016.1277022 More details/abstract: This article contributes to the growing literature on the spatial dynamics of urban violence in the developing world. It highlights the dialectic between urban form, violence and security provision as vernacular in nature, shaped by hyperlocal processes and actors. And yet, this dialectic is dominated by state and military-centred terminology, and continually underpinned by the state’s imposition of order to constitute the city as a site for legitimate control. This materialises as the often arbitrary recognition of one area as ‘at the margins’, and not another, as the recognition of one group of people as ‘slum dwellers’ or illegal residents, and not others, or as the recognition of some individuals as criminal, and not others. Using detailed case study material from a group of inner-city neighbourhoods in Mumbai, India, the article suggests that urban form in its physical, political and historical characterisations not only influences how vigilante protection operates, but also interacts in a non-benign manner with the mechanics by which the state endeavours to control violence. As such, it shapes who is vulnerable to violence, how vulnerable they are, and why.

    H i C N Households in Conflict Network The Institute of Development Studies - at the University of Sussex - Falmer - Brighton - BN1 9RE www.hicn.org The Agency and Governance of Urban Battlefields: How Riots Alter Our Understanding of Adequate Urban Living1 2 Jaideep Gupte HiCN Working Paper 122 September 2012 Abstract: For the first time in close to 100 years, India reports higher population growth in its urbanised areas than across its vast rural landscape. However, a confluence of vast urbanisation and scarcity of resources has implied heightened levels of localised violence, centred in and around already impoverished neighbourhoods. This therefore has a disproportionate impact in further marginalising poor communities, and is at odds with the notion that cities are incontestably and inevitably the context of sustained poverty eradication. And yet, we know relatively little about the mechanics of security provisioning in Indian cities at large. The central argument in this paper is that violent urban spaces have a profound impact on how safety and security are understood by the state as well as the urban poor, thereby redefining the parameters of adequate urban living. I look in detail at how the 1992-1993 riots in Mumbai unfolded in a group of inner-city neighbourhoods, and find that specific acts of brutality and violence during the riots continue to shape current understandings of the „safe city‟. In doing so, I also find that the nature and form of informal urban space affects the mechanics by which the state endeavours to control violence, while individual acts of public violence function as markers that legitimate the use of, and reliance on, extralegal forms of security provision.
