Mumbai: In the Mumbai Maharashtra Nagpur winter session, Member of Assembly Abu Asim Azmi has demanded that the Navi Mumbai Airport be named after Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj. He said that he died in Mumbai on May 6, 1922, so the Navi Mumbai Airport should be named after Shahu Maharaj. He said that Shahu Maharaj has always served Dalits, backward classes, educational reservation and equality and it is to his credit that Dalits and backward classes are provided with reservation and other facilities. He said that the Navi Mumbai Airport should be named after a great leader. Since the airport is a transportation hub, naming the airport after Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj is a tribute to him.

Mumbai: Air pollution and toxic atmosphere are common in Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar. The people of Shivaji Nagar and Govindi are facing toxic fumes every day. Successive governments have neglected this area because it is a poor neighbourhood.

On the second day of the winter session of the Assembly today, the Samajwadi Party (SP) made a clear demand.

It has demanded the immediate closure of the SMS company, RMC plant, and dumping ground and made it clear to the government that it should stop playing with the lives of the common man.
The government should take effective steps to eliminate this toxic air pollution. Abu Asim Azmi said that due to the SMS company in Govandi, the average age of people has increased to 39 years and diseases are spreading due to burning waste and chemical materials in it, so it should be banned immediately. He further said that clean sanitation and other facilities should be available in Govandi and such a factory should be closed so that the people can live a healthy life. Abu Asim Azmi protested against the toxic air outside the Nagpur Assembly in a very unique way by holding a banner and wearing a mask.
