Demolition of dargahs creates tension in Navi Mumbai
By TwoCircles.net staff reporter,
Mumbai: Tension prevailed in Navi Mumbai on March 13 when a contingent of City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) tried to demolish three shrines – two dargahs (tombs) and a temple.
According to media reports, on Thursday afternoon around 500 people including police officers, lady constables, jawans of State Reserve Police Force and personnel of Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation, demolished the shade of Balishah Baba Dargah near Palm Beach Road in Nerul in Navi Mumbai and some encroachments around it.
An adjoining Shiv Temple also fell prey to the drive carried out by the office of the Controller of Unauthorized Constructions (CUC), CIDCO, under the directives of additional collector Subhash Bange, chief CUC, CIDCO officials Dilip Gangurage and Nitin Kamble etc.
A CIDCO officer is believed to have said that only illegal encroachments in the name of dargah related activities have been removed. He added the main place of dargah will remain safe.
It is to be noted that after 26/11 Mumbai terror attack the Shiv Sena mouthpiece 'Samna' had demanded in its December 24, 2008 edition from the Navy and coast guard officers that Balishah Baba Dargah be removed as it might cause disturbance in coastal area security.
The contingent had another 'Amirbaba Dargah' at sector 28 in its list. But due to the strong protest from the local Muslims and after promise from the trustees to remove encroachments by themselves within 10 days, the shrine was spared.
It is said that lone Muslim corporator of the region Abdul Jabbar Khan has assured Muslims of a workable solution through discussion among them, the city management and the CIDCO. But the Muslims are in anxiety.
Interestingly the trustees of both the dargahs have long been local Muslims. However, they could not get them registered.

He was accompanied by MP Dr. Sanjeev Naik, MLA Sandeep Naik, Commissioner Vijay Nahata, CIDCO Officer B K Hariya and others. During the visit Ganesh Naik was seen issuing instructions to carry out immediate reconstruction of the bridge. The locals of Sanpada had been appealing Ganesh Naik to pay attention to the condition of the bridge for a year now. Earlier Ganesh Naik had mooted the idea of a subway but now he opined that an escalator bridge would be a better option.
Since the plans of an escalator bridge would take time and Dutta Jayanthi is coming closer, Ganesh Naik ordered that authorities work of providing some support to the bridge for the festival. He also ordered that special care be taken on the festival day for the safety of devotees using the bridge. For this Ganesh Naik ordered a technical inspection of the bridge at the earliest.

Ganesh Naik thank all those people who supported me from the beg
“ On Thursday(22-10-09), I was a bit tensed when came to know that Chauguley was leading in the initial stages. However, I was confident about winning the polls. Now, my duty will be to identify the needs of the public and work accordingly. I will try my level best to fulfil our agenda," said an excited Sandeep. When asked whether he is happy with the margin with which he won, he answered, "I am happy with the margin since there was no MNS candidate and still we won with good margin. This indicates that youths and new voters registered with EC put faith in me. My victory is equally due to all NCP corporators and workers who put lots of efforts to the win from the constituency."

Thane Belapur Highway Project nearing completion
The Thane-Belapur highway is the only six lane concretised highway in the country on which toll is not levied. Yet, there has been no compromise on the standard and quality of construction of the highway The quality of construction of this highway was proved when despite the diversion of Mumbra highway traffic to this road, the additional load did not have any effect on it. To ensure long lasting quality of work, NMMC Standing Committee chairman Sandeep Naik himself inspected the road work regularly and issued orders accordingly to NMMC officials. This has resulted in top quality work on the road that is shining today It is Shri Ganesh Naik's huge contribution to the progress and development of Navi Mumbai that has earned him the sobriquet of the city's architect.

NMMC general body meet
In the NMMC’ general body meeting, the proposal to re-start the felicitation ceremony of the student’s excelling in the SSC board examination was accepted by the Mayor and Deputy Mayor at chair. The proposal was backed up by most of the coprorators who were inspired to continue the system, after considering the outstanding performance of Nerul based Supriya Shankar Yadav who scored 90.14% in the SSC examinations, even after studying in the NMMC school based at Nerul, with mere minimal NMMC students, who did not get noticed by any leader or media, and their excellence needs to be acclaimed.

It has been a rather sorry state of affairs of the Thane bus service. In his recent visit to Thane, MP Dr. Sanjeev Naik stated that the best of bus services must be provided to the citizens.

Note concerned of the election code of conduct and vital issues
Navi Mumbai’s first Mayor Dr. Sanjeev Naik is also Navi Mumbai’s first MP; hence it was apparent that this feat called for a felicitation proposal to honor MP Dr. Sanjeev Naik in NMMC. And the general body did – this week. Corporators from all parties praised MP Dr. Sanjeev Naik to the T for becoming the first MP from Navi Mumbai. Beyond any doubt MP Dr. Sanjeev Naik’s victory in the Thane constituency called for this recognition of his work, achievement and win but the hours that the members chose to spend over a felicitation proposal keeping aside all public work proposal on the agenda came as a major disappointment. The general body meetings are held once in a month and this was the first general body meeting of NMMC after Lok Sabha elections.
