@PTI_News @myBMC Request you to share present status n impact of mealy bugs, woodworms n other pests which r known for the destruction of Raintrees in Mumbai for decades. Likely that falling of high level branches is due to weakening by pests. Human lives r at stake we must know facts.

@myBMC @AshwiniBhide BMC must have the correct equipment to do good quality tree trimming where the tree trimmer is safe and correctly positioned for considered decisions. The present method BMC uses is very dangerous leading to rash decisions. https://t.co/26nisdZES8

@AshwiniBhide BMC ignored my tweet dtd 21 September 2024 regarding barricades n safety and didn't acknowledge. On 2 July 2026 a man has died because of this gross negligence of safety right through Mumbai. Enforce strict implementation of mandatory safety by onsite monitoring.

@mybmc @mybmcwardhw @mybmcRoads October 21, 2024, Saint Paul Road Bandra West, Mumbai 400050. The traffic on this busy road should have been stopped. Not even protection barriers around the worker! BMC must never allow such unsafe working with total disregard to safety.

[Charles Simoes @CharlesSimoesM]

@hvgoenka @myBMC This is absolutely unacceptable. 1 Watering of plants on road medians must never be done during peak hours as it is a major safety hazard. 2 No watering during rains. BMC garden department needs to do onsite patrolling and stopping such wrong practices.

@SamsungIndia On 17 & 18 May 2026 Samsung India charged me a big amount of money with 18% GST for repairs to my Samsung refrigerator. I have repeatedly requested for a Samsung Invoice but they have failed even after repeated promises. Provide the Samsung Invoice immediately.

@mybmcWardHW, @myBMC These coconut palms and debris have been lying for weeks on the busy Saint Paul Road Bandra West Mumbai 400050 outside Wilfern Building. The pile is growing bigger with each day. Please arrange to have it cleared.

@mybmcWardHW @myBMC Illegal posters (see picture) are again mounted on the street light poles all along busy Saint Paul Road, Bandra West, Mumbai 400050. Please arrange to have them removed at the very earliest.

@Asif_Zakaria The residents of Bandra, especially those using this park are key stakeholders in its development and maintenance. Asif, I propose you write a letter/petition strongly asserting the residents' rights and obtain signature from residents and submit it to BMC.

@NetMeds Netmeds has NOT delivered our prepaid medicines order placed on 16 March 2026 and is not refunding our money. This is absolutely unacceptable. Refund the entire amount as NMS cash in our Netmeds wallet.

@MedPlusIndia No response from Medplus which speaks for itself.

[Charles Simoes @CharlesSimoesM]

@MedPlusIndia I have paid for a Medplus Advantage plan and have been ordering medicines from Medplus. I was shocked to discover that Medplus has been selling medicines which are many years old and very close to the expiry date. Stop this unethical and unacceptable immediately.

[Charles Simoes @CharlesSimoesM]

@mybmcWardHW @mybmc Thank you for attending to this complaint so promptly.
