@oracledarlings The rush you would get sitting on upper deck and going downhill at Kandarpada..

.@MMRDAOfficial is doing the most shoddy work in widening the Ghodbunder Road by merging the service roads. They literally have Zero Coordination with contractors and they're making Ghodbunder Road the Most Unlivable part of MMR day by day.

The photos speak for themselves. Fresh asphalt is being laid over sections of newly built concrete roads while electric poles still stand in the middle of the corridor. Roads are dug up, rebuilt, patched again, and resurfaced without any visible coordination between civil works, utility shifting, pedestrian infrastructure, bus operations, and traffic management.

If a road is being widened, utility shifting should happen first. Electric poles should be moved to the footpath zone or utilities should be taken underground. Instead, commuters are getting wider roads with permanent obstacles sitting right in the middle of them.

What's even more frustrating is the quality of execution. Large stretches of recently constructed concrete roads are already showing cracks, uneven surfaces, and damaged expansion joints. Instead of fixing the root cause, contractors appear to be applying asphalt patches over sections that were originally meant to be durable concrete pavement.

This defeats the entire purpose of investing in concrete roads in the first place.

The biggest victims, however, are not motorists. They're pedestrians and bus users.

Bus stops have disappeared from several stretches. Passengers are forced to wait in the open without shade while navigating broken footpaths, construction debris, and utility poles. People are expected to cross multiple lanes of fast-moving traffic just to access public transport. Trees have been removed, footpaths remain incomplete, and the urban environment has become more hostile for anyone not travelling in a private vehicle.

A road widening project is not successful because a few extra metres of carriageway are added.
Success means:
• Utilities shifted properly before construction.
• Continuous and accessible footpaths.
• Safe bus stop access.
• Durable road surfaces.
• Proper drainage.
• Traffic management during construction.
• Coordination between all agencies involved.

Right now, Ghodbunder Road feels less like a planned infrastructure upgrade and more like multiple contractors working on different projects without a common plan.

The road may be getting wider, but the experience for commuters, bus passengers, and pedestrians often feels worse than before making the Ghodbunder Road the most unlivable part of MMR.

What are you doing as opposition? Sitting ducks everytime you get an opportunity to corner the government.

[Rahul Gandhi @RahulGandhi]

CBSE’s May 2025 tender required answer sheets to be scanned with automatic robotic scanners, spines preserved, at a minimum of 300 DPI.

The tender re-issued in August quietly removed all of it. “Scanners” became generic. Resolution dropped to 200 DPI.

Now we know what that meant in practice. It has been exposed that COEMPT scanned the answer sheets using mobile phones.

The blurred copies, the missing pages, the unscanned books - they are not “errors.” They are the predictable outcome of a contract written to fit a vendor.

This is fraud. And every child whose marks were wrongly evaluated is a victim of it.

This morning, the Prime Minister had time to speak about mangoes. He has not had time to speak about 18.5 lakh children whose answer sheets were scanned with phones.

Dharmendra Pradhan ji still sits in office.

Modi ji’s silence is no longer indifference. It is complicity.

मुंबईचे आराध्य दैवत श्री सिद्धिविनायक गणपती बाप्पाच्या चरणी सहपरिवार नतमस्तक होऊन दर्शन घेतले, तसेच या शुभप्रसंगी कुटुंबासमवेत नवीन ईव्ही कारचे देखील शास्त्रोक्त पूजन केले.

माननीय पंतप्रधान श्री. @narendramodi जी यांनी इंधन बचतीसाठी केलेल्या आवाहनाला प्रतिसाद देत, निसर्गाच्या रक्षणासाठी आणि प्रदूषणमुक्तीसाठी एक लहानसे पाऊल म्हणून या पर्यावरणपूरक इलेक्ट्रिक वाहनाला प्राधान्य दिले आहे.

श्री सिद्धिविन��यक गणपतीचा आशीर्वाद राज्यातल्या संपूर्ण जनतेवर सदैव वर्षत राहो, हीच प्रार्थना. गणपती बाप्पा मोरया !

@MMMOCL_Official public transport is for public convience not for staff convenience. What a brainless decision to inconvenience passengers @manishaBJP @SanjayRupadhyay please look into this.

[Yash Mhadgut 🇮🇳 @Explorer_Yash]

Dear @MMMOCL_Official
Platform destination says Dahisar East. Train says Ovaripada. In reality train is going to Dahanukarwadi depot but you are not allowing people to travel directly till Dahanukarwadi. At least allow people to travel directly in the depot terminating trains.

@MBVVPOLICE full traffic from Western Hotel till Pandurangwadi towards Thane. Please deploy additional personnel..

@ramakri67747293 It didn't used to. However last couple of times it's the case. And the pack was fair way away from expiry so that's not an issue.

[Shreyas Kulkarni @Shreyask2411]

Looks like Amul has a different manufacturing process for Quick Commerce stores. The cheese slices earlier used to melt, now are just turning into cardboard like paste, disintegrating into particles. Got a Britannia cheese pack from a general store, it's way better.

Be glad that it's just milk stealing and flipped chappals. Waking up to cat diarrhoea on your door is worsee.

[Sabudana khichadi @dishasatra]

Need a genuine advice guys-
This one family in my building feeds cats and now these cats have created havoc. Stealing/spilling milk in the morning, chappals here and there, dead rats randomly found around etc. what’s the best solution to get rid of this situation? Can animal control reloctae the cats? Can someone please adopt them so we can live in peace? Lol

@SampoornaKranti Kitna bhi baba vagaire karlo. Kabhi to andar ka reality slip ho hi jata hai. Very shallow mindset at such a level..

The lack of connectivity on Diva Vasai section is surprising given the pain highway and Ghodbunder is. CR,WR or none of the local representatives have pushed for increased frequency on this section. @rajtoday

[Red Beast WAP4 @arpan355]

Finally captured Dombivli -Boisar MEMU since it 1.5 hrs late
Earlier this service used to run as Dombivli -Vasai Push Pull DMU/ DEMU which was extended to Boisar as per announcement in 2008/9 Rail Budget by Lalu Yadav
@rajtoday @Maha7Arindam
Wish CR had more such services to WR

@ShivamVahia Looks like he is having the kind of rest you have after g faad diarrhoea..good for him, he needed this rest.
