अजून किती प्रेमळ भाषेत बोलू ?

खड्डे दाखवले… व्हिडिओ दाखवले… 29 दिवस 490किमी पायी सत्याग्रह केला GPS लोकेशनसह पुरावे दिले… तरीही नागरिकांच्या जीवाशी खेळ सुरूच!

मुंबई–गोवा राष्ट्रीय महामार्ग, पेन तालुका, निगड्या गावाजवळ… नवीन सिमेंट काँक्रीट रस्त्यावर खड्डा पडतो. तीन महिने तसाच राहतो. दाखवल्यानंतर भरला जातो… पण कशाने? मातीने!

मग प्रश्न विचारायचा नाही का?

वेगाने धावणाऱ्या गाड्या, मिडियन कट, अचानक समोर आलेला खड्डा, सडन ब्रेक… आणि मागून येणारा ट्रक!

जर एखादा जीव गेला तर जबाबदार कोण?

टोल मात्र वेळेवर घेतला जातो… मग सुरक्षित रस्त्याची जबाबदारी कोणाची?

मी विरोधासाठी बोलत नाही… मी त्या आई-वडिलांसाठी बोलतोय, ज्यांचा मुलगा किंवा कुटुंबातील व्यक्ती उद्या या खड्ड्यामुळे घरी परत आली नाही तर?

आता तरी सांगा…
मी अजून किती प्रेमळ भाषेत बोलू ?

धन्यवाद 🇮🇳🙏

Now the Maharashtra State board is planning to introduce OSM from next academic year #cbsegraceus #cbse

[Sanjay Maurya @MeSanjayy]

In June 2025, CBSE's governing body suggested OSM “may be implemented in all subjects only after completion of pilot projects in some subjects across various regional offices of the board”

CBSE did not conduct pilot projects across regional offices.

@KDMCOfficial यापुढे आणखी एक झाकण आहे तेही तपासावे. हा रस्ता अरुंद असल्याने मोठी वाहन जाताना वाहतूक कोंडी होते. तरी यावरही पर्याय शोधावा ही विनंती.

सध्या डोंबिवली पूर्व येथे न्यू आयरे रोडचे काम सुरू आहे त्यामुळे सर्व वाहतूक कोपर पूर्व स्थानक परिसरातून होत आहे. मोठे ट्रक, सिमेंट मिक्सर येथून जातात त्या मार्गावर एक लोखंडी झाकण आहे त्याची अवस्था अशी झाली आहे तरी अपघात होण्यापूर्वी दुरुस्ती व्हावी. @KDMCOfficial
