Mira-Bhayandar: In a decision that will determine the fate of twin-city in terms of proper planning and holistic development, the state government has decided to incorporate suggestions and reservations mooted by the civic administration in the new development plan of the Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC).

MBMC moots changes in development plan after MLA raises issue

Shiv Sena legislator Pratap Sarnaik had dropped a bombshell in the assembly house by stating that not only important amenities such as education hub, crematoriums, and revised metro car shed been ignored while preparing the new development plan, some of the reservations on land parcels by ignoring the suggestions mooted by the civic administration.

Taking a serious note of the issue, a meeting was held in the presence of MLA’s Sarnaik, Geeta Jain, civic chief Sanjay Katkar, principal secretary (urban development) Aseem Gupta, city engineer Deepak Khambit and officials attached to the town planning wing on Tuesday. The minister said that the final development plan will be approved only after rectification and suggestions mooted by the civic administration are incorporated in the vision document.

“The development plan of any city does not belong to the builders but to the concerned municipality, so the decision to publish the final plan has been made in today’s meeting only after taking the public interest reservations suggested by the civic administration. We are thankful to the minister,” said Sarnaik.

The state government has allocated funds for the construction of various amenities including hospital and community buildings and the decision will ensure that there is no setback to those works, due to the unmindful changes. Approved in May-1997, the development plan’s existence came to an end after 20 years. A new 20-year fresh vision document was mandated to be prepared and ratified before 2017. Owing to inordinate delays, the government had stripped the MBMC’s power by handing over the responsibility of preparing the new vision document to the assistant director of town planning, Thane.

Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has made it clear on the Hindi-Marathi language dispute that linguistic discrimination and violence cannot be tolerated. If anyone instigates violence in the name of Marathi language or takes the law into his own hands, strict action will be taken against him because it is the government’s responsibility to maintain law and order. He said that in the Mira Road Hindi Marathi violence case, the police have registered a case and taken action.

A committee has been formed in the matter of Marathi and Hindi language. Whatever is better for the students on its recommendation, the government will implement it. No decision has been taken under anyone’s pressure. He said that the recommendation for Hindi language was made during the Maha Vikas Aghadi rule itself, but now these same people are opposing it. The public knows everything.

He said that in this election, BJP has got 51 percent Marathi votes. Violence and discrimination in the name of language cannot be tolerated. Marathi is a source of pride for us, but we do not oppose Hindi. What will happen if a Marathi businessman in another state is asked to speak his language? In Assam, he was asked to speak Assamese.
