The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Shiv Sena corporators in Thane allege that construction for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project has blocked natural drainage channels between Mhatardi and Betawade villages, causing widespread waterlogging and losses to farmers.
- The issue was raised in the Thane municipal corporation's general body meeting, which passed a resolution seeking intervention and a site inspection was conducted.
- The executing agency NHSRCL says corrective measures were already implemented after a joint pre-monsoon inspection and that temporary waterlogging drains through pipes and culverts.
- The civic body has begun a fresh survey of the stretch and may recommend corrective measures if needed.
