MNS & UBT Lead Separate Protests Over Sewri’s Ongoing Water Crisis

The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) held a ‘Dhol Morcha’ on Monday to accentuate a quiet situation inSewri Located in the F-South ward, Sewri is experiencing exceptionally low tide stress and uneven supply for the previous 2 months. The trouble is specifically serious on Tokershi Jivraj Road.

In demonstration, MNS leader Bala Nandgaonkar and his partymen marched to the ward workplace and claimed that the lack is not restricted to simply Parel or Sewri, yet is pestering the whole city. He claimed, “Many residents have complained. I learnt that a local MLA has been distributing letters in every household, asking people to report water-related complaints with promises to resolve them the next day. This is nothing but an election gimmick. When we visited the ward office, we discovered that a private builder had diverted a pipeline at Mahadevachi Wadi. Those who have influence in the BMC are misleading the people. This must stop.”

Former Shiv Sena (UBT) corporator Sachin Padwal, that has actually likewise been carefully keeping an eye on the trouble, claimed it is an outcome of leakages that have actually continued for over 2 months. His event is arranging a demonstration– Handa Morcha– on Tuesday, from Kamgar Maidan to the ward workplace.

Padwal claimed there are 2 stress factors in the region that have actually stopped by 4 factors each. He included, “One at the Sewri bus depot should deliver 30 points of pressure but is only 26, while the one near Lijjat Company should deliver 40 but is delivering just 36. The pressure particularly drops in the evening. When we spoke with chief engineer Purushottam Malvade, he confirmed that leaks were found and they are working to fix it.” The ex-corporator claimed they have actually been adhering to up for the previous 10 days, yet are yet to obtain any type of alleviation.

The Shiv Sena (UBT) demonstration will certainly consist of 5 previous corporators, MLAs, and MPs. “Residents from Sewri to Kalachowki are affected, but the hardest hit is Tokershi Jivraj Road. The area has about 8,000 to 10,000 housing units, where 40,000 people reside. With elections approaching, those who were never seen in the ward are now leading protests. Everyone has the right to protest, but we have been preparing since Saturday and following up with the water department for 10 days. However, on Monday, someone else took credit for it,” Padwal included.

MLA Ajay Chaudhary, that stands for the Sewri setting up constituency, shared his very own irritation over the absence of BMC activity. “A meeting was held in the office of assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar, along with officials from the water department. Another meeting at the Worli Hub resulted in assurances that the water supply would be restored within eight days. The BMC also carried out a field inspection but no real action was taken despite assurances,” Chaudhary claimed.

Sagar Devgadkar, a homeowner of Sewri, claimed that it is stunning that the heart of the city, Parel, does not have a requirement like water. “For the past 10 days, we’ve been receiving water for just 10-15 minutes a day at low pressure. Not everyone has water tanks at home. We have been trying to store as much as possible, but are forced to consume bottled water, which is also not affordable. The government’s work is only visible on banners, not in reality,” Devgadkar claimed.
