Ulhasnagar civic body asks state to direct PWD to raze illegal ghat on Ulhas River
ULHASNAGAR: After the State Irrigation Department declared the ghat being built on the Ulhas River from BJP MLA Kumar Ailani's funds illegal and ordered the Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation (UMC) to demolish it, the Municipal Corporation has now stated that the PWD should carry out the demolition because the ghat was constructed by the state PWD department. In such a situation, the irrigation department can direct the state PWD to take action. After declaring this ghat built from MLA funds illegal, Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders accused the BJP MLA of misusing the funds for illegal construction and demanded an investigation into the entire matter as to how illegal construction took place on the Ulhas River. Sarita Khanchandani, who exposed the entire incident, alleges that hundreds of trees located on the river bank were cut, and cement construction was done illegally inside the river bed. A big wall was also built to divert the flow of the river, which could cause a flood situation in the surrounding villages during heavy rains. On the complaint of Khanchandani, the irrigation department recently declared this construction illegal and directed the local UMC to take demolition action on it. However, while talking to TOI, UMC Commissioner Manisha Awhale said that the construction being declared illegal was done through the state PWD, so they will write a letter to the irrigation department and tell them to ask the state PWD department to take action. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I Asked ChatGPT What Humanity Will Achieve In The Next 30 Years — Here's What It Said Liseer Undo Sources said that more than Rs 3 crore was spent out of the Rs 7 crore project cost.

First biogas plant for waste management unveiled on World Environment Day in Maharashtra's Ulhasnagar
ULHASNAGAR: On the occasion of World Environment Day today, the first Waste Management Bio Gas Plant in Ulhasnagar city was unveiled by the city's BJP MLA, Kumar Ailani, and BJP Ulhasnagar District President, Rajesh Vadhrya. This bio gas plant was built by the developer in a private Regency Antilia complex. The waste from hundreds of flat holders living in the complex will no longer go to the municipal corporation's dumping site. Instead, it will be processed in this bio gas plant built within the complex. Through this process, bio gas and electricity will be produced, which will be used to operate the plant and meet the electricity needs for other utility services installed in the complex. Mahesh Agrawal, Chairman of Regency Group, said that this plant is the first bio gas plant in Ulhasnagar city. Through it, they will collect the wet waste from the houses in their complex, where thousands of people live, and process it to make bio gas and electricity. Vadhrya stated that this plant can process 4,000 kg of waste per day. The gas generated will run the entire plant, and 200 to 250 units of electricity will be generated daily, allowing the utilities inside the complex to run efficiently. Additionally, cow shed dung located in the complex will also be used to produce gas in this plant. BJP MLA Kumar Ailani appealed to other housing complexes in the city to come forward and install such plants to save the environment.
