There were no BEST buses available today, and the auto-rickshaw fare shot up to ₹50 or ₹60 per seat.

That’s for the trip from Bandra to BKC.

If they can't provide decent transport, why did they build such a massive office complex?

@mahsharfatima86 This woman ran a stall in #VasaiVirar
She claims she used to pay 90 rupees daily and even has receipts.
It is unclear who collects such a large amount of money and who keeps the records.

How is the GST deposited?
@vvcmc_official should look into this matter.

@prithvirajbp

[Ashu @ASHUTOS13841988]

I don't understand how #GST is being charged; and if it is being collected, is it then deposited with the government?

महाराष्ट्र के वसई-विरार में एक लड़का सिर पर बर्तन रखकर मार्केट में घूम-घूमकर इडली बेचकर अपना परिवार चलाता है।

लड़के ने बताया है कि उससे हर दिन ₹88.40 की वसूली ली जाती है, !!!!

जिसके हिसाब से महीने में करीब ₹2700 तक टैक्स के नाम पर रकम देनी पड़ती है,

ऐसे छोटे-मोटे दुकानदार और मेहनत करने वाले लोग अपनी रोज़ी-रोटी
चलाकर परिवार का पालन-पोषण करते हैं,

उसने इतना टैक्स लेना शर्म आना चाहिए
वो अपना खर्चा चलाने के लिए दिन रात मेहनत करते हैं

उन पर इस तरह की वसूली का बहुत ज़्यादा असर पड़ता होगा।

[Ashu @ASHUTOS13841988]

@mahsharfatima86 @vasaivirarinfra What’s new about this?
The locals here already know this, and the administration must be aware of it too.
I’ve seen a man come to the shop in the evening and collect 30 to 50 rupees—without issuing any receipt.

I wonder what they actually did when they constructed it. it was recently built

People are right—housing is the only thing that’s cheap here;
Living in #VasaiVirar is extremely difficult.

#Virar #Vasai #Nallasopara

[Ashu @ASHUTOS13841988]

Many companies with offices in #BKC are requesting employees to participate in this movement.
But
Will police act against overpricing of auto ?
Bkc have enough buses to cater to these many ppl ?
Will administrative can give assurance on the above points?

#BKC #MMRDA #Mumbai

[Ashu @ASHUTOS13841988]

Why do it?

Public transport can handle this load.

Just ask the people who use public transport about its condition.

It costs 50 rupees per seat to travel from Bandra station to #BKC —a distance of less than 3 kilometers.

Fix the system first then give Gyan

@MSEDCL Every day, get the same generic message asking ppl to be patient.

If cables are getting damaged daily, what kind of infrastructure has been built?
@MSEDCL's rates are higher than others, yet the service is pathetic.

There are power outages lasting several hours daily.
As night falls, they worsen.
The system has completely collapsed.
If you can't handle it, hand it over to a private player.@MSEDCL

If local authorities want to succeed in this campaign the must
1. Increase the buses from #bandra & #kurla the station to #BKC
2. Put buses for metro to #BKC
3. Control the auto charges , charge what is genuine and as per law
It will not solve the problem but will be first step

[Ashu @ASHUTOS13841988]

The crowds in buses are so massive that people often cannot even get inside.
Auto-rickshaw drivers hike up fares arbitrarily.
Instead of fixing these issues, people are being lectured—told to stand in queues for hours.
Why isn't there any emphasis on improving the system itself?

There are power cuts in #VasaiVirar every day now
Power outages occur multiple times, even at night.
And often, one has to wait for hours.

The electricity rates here are higher than elsewhere, yet this area faces such neglect.

@vasaivirarinfra Who will bear the cost for these passes ? I am not against it but the area have lot of problems to solve
The fare isn't so high that no one can afford it.
It's better to add buses in those areas where there is no transport connectivity

#VasaiVirar #Vasai #Virar

[Ashu @ASHUTOS13841988]

They haven't even been able to build a decent hospital, and as for the Metro, this area still doesn't come among the government's priorities.
Looking at the pace of development, it seems it will take at least 20 years to construct the Metro
#VasaiVirar
#Vasai #Virar #Metroline13

[Vasai Virar Update @vasaivirarinfra]

🚇 Big boost for #VasaiVirar Metro connectivity!

The DPR for #MetroLine13 has been sent to the Maharashtra Government for final approval.

▪️16 Stations
▪️3.25 km Underground
▪️21.78 km Elevated
▪️Depot at Chikhaldongri–Virar
💰Estimated Cost: ₹17,724.99 Cr

📍FINAL ROUTE

[Ashu @ASHUTOS13841988]

@sanjaynirupam Action is absolutely fine
Just go towards #PremNagar from SV Road in #Goregaon West, and you will see exactly what I mean.
Two auto-rickshaws cannot pass side-by-side there on 20-25 feet road
In the evening, not even a single auto-rickshaw can pass smoothly
#hawkers #Mumbai

[Ashu @ASHUTOS13841988]

Unless illegal parking, encroachments, and hawkers are cleared out, nothing will change.

Just look outside #Nallasopara Station—they have turned the entire area into a living hell; people can barely walk there.

And this is happening every year

#VasaiVirar #Virar #Vasai

[Vasai Virar Update @vasaivirarinfra]

Nalasopara: Waterlogging hit a chawl in Dhaniv Baug after light rain due to an uncleared drain. Residents blamed delayed desilting and alleged encroachments blocking cleanup work. Citizens have demanded immediate action from VVMC to prevent further flooding. #Nalasopara #Vasai

[Ashu @ASHUTOS13841988]

illegal structures located in the vicinity of every station should be demolished
This is because such structures cause inconvenience to the general public; nowadays, footpaths have been completely encroached upon, leaving no space for pedestrians to walk.

Demolition Drive Completed at Bandra East by Western Railway

This is just the beginning ...🤣

[Ashu @ASHUTOS13841988]

It's looking painful

But

if you ask those who commute through Bandra East on a daily basis, every single one of them will support this demolition.
It was absolute chaos there.

Because people used to face trouble every day.

What a satisfying as well worrying sight!

Satisfying— Illegal immigrant Bangladeshis are now fleeting Bandra, Mumbai, Bandra, Mumbai after anti-encroachment demolition drive.

Worrying— They'll go to other States now.

Which States will 'Shelter' them Now in your opinion?
