Mayor's Ward Is An Immoral Den

Afternoon Voice

People of Sangam Nagar, Wadala were very happy happy when their chosen
Muncipal Corporation Candidate became Mayor of Mumbai. Yes residents
of F-North ward no 169 whose corporator Shraddha Jadhav is a mayor of
Mumbai have many complaints against the BMC and its late back attitude
to fulfill their basic requirements of cleanliness. Problems such as
dirty drinking water, bad roads, unconstructed lanes with a mass
population of about 80 thousand you will see when you visit Sangam
Nagar. These problems were not enough when there are other major
problems are been increasing daily. Opening of video parlours
(Licensed and Unlicensed) which everyday runs porn movies openly in
front of school’s.  At Santoshi Mata road in ward no 169 there are
about 4 video parlours between two schools(Adarsh Hindi High school &
New National high School). Also these parlours are just 50meters away
from the local Police beat of Santoshi Mata Road. Resident’s who stay
at S.M Road have several complaints where they feel insecure to live
at such a dirty place. Instead of complaining several times to the
local police station there are no actions taken by the Police says
Sushant Sharma a retired school teacher.
Also the residents of Vijay Nagar are facing problems with an
unlicensed beer shop which is located next to Bhawani chemist, who is
selling openly its product and people drink those Desi beer and wines
on road as well. Dr Anwar Khan who stays in Vijay Nagar says “even we
can bare unhygienic roads and potholes on street but we cannot live
safely where people drink on road everyday”.
Residents of Bhartiya Kamla Nagar at Saltpen Road are living in a
tedious condition. Especially those who stay in a chawl no 5 and 6
where in front of them whole garbage is been dumped for weeks and
weeks and they have to live under that bad smelling garbage. There are
not always proper response from the ward and the BMC when the
residents of these chawl’s request to pick up these garbages. Even if
the Dumper comes in to clean the mess it doesn’t clean it completely
says Abdul Qadir a resident of chawl no-5.
“Inspite of filing several complaint’s by the Jama masjid trust in
Chandni Nagar to the BMC our problem is been neglected by the ward”
says Amirulla trustee of Jama masjid whose entrance is been blocked
the chocked up gutter. Many Muslims who come to the mosque five times
a day has to pass through the gutter’s everyday.  Hannan Ahmed who is
a social worker says that “though we understand Shraddha Jadhav is
busy and have several other responsibilities of Mumbai city but the
ward should assist us when we are calling in for its help, which is
not done as required”.
Looking at these problems of Sangam Nagar we contacted Mayor Shraddha
Jaadhav in the morning where she said “I will take appropriate action
as fast as possible to make my ward clean” and when we informed her
about the video parlour’s and its problem she said “will take action
today itself to stop these parlours”. When we called ACP Shivaji
Naiman of Sangam Nagar, said “I will personally check the Video
Parlours and will punish those who are running these porn movies
there.
