  • Islamic International School run by radical preacher, Zakir Naik's foundation is facing an imminent shutdown.

    Children's parents are worried as it leaves them in a lurch in the middle of the academic-year.

    The school is unregistered and therefore "illegal" and has been accused of brainwashing students to stay away from "un-Islamic-environment".

    Education minister has vowed to not let students suffer due to the shutdown.

    There are 117 major 'open-defecation' spots and BMC plans to address this by cleanliness drives and building toilets.

    BMC believes Khan's support would enhance their awareness drive.

    The revised minimum parking fee is now Rs.130 for 30 minutes; for tourist buses charges have risen from Rs.400 to Rs.500.

    Travellers and tourist-vehicle owners were annoyed at the increase as they found even existing charges exorbitant.

    High Court pulls up BMC
    Credits:
  • Bombay HC pulled up BMC for non-compliance of the court's order.

    The court's reprimand is concerning the delay on BMC's part to finalize a site for a doppler radar weather system in Mumbai.

    BMC chief has been instructed to convene a meeting urgently to approve and handover the site within 8-weeks.

    A PIL was filed after heavy-rains in June caused major disruptions in Mumbai.

  • Do you know?

    Doppler weather radar sytem

  • The existing Doppler radar weather system in Mumbai is used to study cloud formation around Mumbai and can give warnings of heavy rainfall up to six hours in advance. Mumbai in the past has been hit with cloud-bursts that paralyzed the city.

  • Vasai

    Vasai station's escalator gathers dust
  • The escalator at Vasai station has been non-operational since August.

    Authorities said frequent power cuts were responsible for the problem as the escalator malfunctioned after every power-cut or voltage-fluctuation.

    In a recent meeting of top officials, training locals to repair the escalator was discussed but no time-frame was given.

    Railways minister, Suresh Prabhu, had inaugurated the escalator worth Rs.1 crore in July this year.

  • Police

    Court raps state for CCTV non-installation

    Court raps state for CCTV non-installation
  • The Bombay High Court came down heavily on the state for failing to implement its order.

    In 2014, HC had directed the government to install CCTVs in all police stations to curb custodial deaths.

    A status-update report submitted to the court on CCTV installation failed to even mention if cameras covered lock-ups.

    The court has sought a fresh report within 4 weeks.

  • Infrastructure

    Five metro corridors have been sanctioned for a total cost of Rs.61,289 which will be completed in 2021.

    BJP is reportedly keen to take credit for metro corridors ahead of Mumbai's crucial civic polls.
