Mumbai: Maharashtra Minister Nitesh Rane once again criticized All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi, who had earlier called him equal to Osama bin Laden, but now he said that Osama bin Laden has been reborn in Asaduddin Owaisi, and that is why he has such ideas. There is no place for those who reflect such ideas in India. He showed venom in the case of Nida Khan and said that AIMIM had supported Nida Khan, but now as the facts have been exposed, AIMIM has also been exposed. Nitesh Rane, while describing India as a Hindu nation, said that this is a country of gods and goddesses. If someone does not accept Vande Mataram, then he should take his beard and round cap and go to his father’s Pakistan because they will not be tolerated in India. He said that could these people support India while living in Pakistan? Only these people do such things while living in India. Even after comparing Owaisi to Osama bin Laden, Nitesh Rane is sticking to his stance, and Rane has even declared AIMIM a terrorist organization.

Mumbai: As the Mumbai Municipal Corporation prepares to hike parking fees by 40 per cent, Samajwadi Party MLA from Bhiwandi East Raees Sheikh has written to Municipal Commissioner Ashwini Bhide, requesting him to review the current parking policy before increasing the fees and revive the defunct Mumbai Parking Authority (MPA). MLA Sheikh has demanded in the letter that the municipality should focus on improving traffic discipline and affordable parking instead of considering parking as a source of revenue generation. In his letter to the commissioner, MLA Raees Sheikh said that before making any changes in parking fees, a comprehensive review of the current parking policy and its implementation should be conducted. Citizens are facing many challenges due to inadequate parking infrastructure, uncontrolled parking on roads, lack of proper enforcement and irregularity of organized parking spaces. Before increasing parking fees, attention should be paid to making parking facilities affordable, transparent and accessible to the common citizen. MLA Raees Sheikh said that increasing fees without proper improvements in infrastructure and management can put unnecessary financial burden on residents, middle-class families, office workers and small traders. Stressing the need for strict enforcement of ‘no parking’ rules in the city, Raees Sheikh explained that traffic congestion due to illegal parking on roads, footpaths and squares is adding to the inconvenience of both pedestrians and motorists. Instead of just increasing parking fees, strict enforcement with better planning and digital monitoring system will help improve traffic discipline. The inefficient Mumbai Parking Authority should be revived so that parking management in the city is handled through a dedicated and accountable mechanism. MLA Raees Sheikh, in a letter to Commissioner Ashwini Bhide, suggested that a special authority could undertake scientific planning, formulate uniform parking policies, coordinate with the traffic police and transport departments and ensure a long-term solution to the growing number of vehicles in Mumbai.
