Relief for Yadavnagar residents as standing committee sanction’s three proposals for toilets

manika1 — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 06:50:31 +0000

These are students studying in the three years old municipal school at Yadavnagar of Airoli. To say it’s a school but once you visit the school you get one shocker after the other. To begin with in the absence of a school building, the students have to study outside an office like area. Who doesn’t know that the school environs should permit a student to focus on class teaching but this aspect is a complete mystery to the students here who study in an open environment getting distracted and disturbed all the time. Due to this the most shocking thing is that one teacher strives to teach two batches of students at the same time. And this isn’t just it – move further and you see a tapri wallah operating a few feet away from the school with continuous chain of smokers moving about the area. And while other schools in the city have playground, the so-called municipal school in Yadavnagar has a cow shed next to the school. And if you think stink was the only problem – think again. Because more than the stink the noise from the cow shed is louder than the teacher teaching the students. Locals shared the unfortunate conditions of the school with us. Locals demanded more sensitivity of NMMC administration to the need of a school here.

Another problem that haunts the Yadavnagar slums is filth and dirt so much that it’s difficult to imagine how humans can live here. Filth from gutters borders the entrance of settlements and even pigs can be seen moving around. Locals say that at times pigs directly enter their homes. there is an urgent need to construct the toilets here as locals, including women and children have to climb hills to attend natures’ calls. Women shared how going is difficult when there are men leering at them. And like most NMMC toilets, even the existing ones have become victims of ill maintenance.

The locals are however happy ever since the NMMC Standing Committee approved the bid of Yashraj Infrastructure to re- construct three toilets at the cost of Rs. 77 lacs 35 thousand 959. The three new toilets will come as a major relief to the locals and will solve one of their most burning issues. Standing Committee Chairman Sandeep Naik informed that while the toilets are needed, he has ordered the administration to take up the work for a school too at the earliest.

News buildings under school vision but security is missing

manika1 — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 05:56:54 +0000

The NMMC has redeveloped municipal school buildings across the city under its “School Vision” but absence of security might result in draining public funds in the near future. The concern surfaced after this week’s Standing Committee meet.

This week the NMMC administration presented a proposal of constructing a security wall around NMMC School in Sector 4, Nerul – the reason for making the wall at the cost of Rs. 21 lacs 4 Thousand 4 Hundred and 467 of your taxes? Well, the administration says the grills around the school have been stolen. Despite the school having security guards, the grills were stolen exposing just how secure all municipal schools in the city are. The issue is more concerning as NMMC has redeveloped scores of municipal schools across the city and if there are such security lapses then there could be a spate of robberies in the newly built schools as well, which will continue to drain public taxes. Worst still is the fact that there is no one taking accountability of such security lapses. NMMC Standing Committee Chairman Sandeep Naik says that this reflects on the loopholes in administrative functioning and calls for the need to get efficient officers on board.
