Chemical tanker collides with unidentified vehicle in Thane, no one hurt
Thane: A chemical-laden tanker heading to Dombivli collided with an unidentified vehicle near Thane city in the wee hours of Tuesday. The tanker driver got trapped inside his cabin and was rescued by firefighters within 15 minutes of the emergency call, said Thane Municipal Corporation's disaster management cell chief Yasin Tadvi. He added that there was no casualty or chemical leakage/spillage due to the mishap. The mishap took place around 1.40am near a traffic police post at Kalyan Phata in Shil area. The tanker, travelling from Gujarat to Dombivli, was carrying 24 tonnes of aniline, a chemical commonly used in the manufacture of paints, polymers and pharmaceuticals. "The driver lost control over the tanker and collided with the vehicle ahead of him," said Tadvi. Emergency responders worked for nearly 30 minutes to move the damaged tanker to the roadside using a hydra machine, disrupting traffic flow for about half an hour.

Minister urges rule tweaks for unified parking plan in Mumbai Metropolitan Region
Mumbai: Transport minister Pratap Sarnaik asked the urban development department (UDD) to make necessary changes in its regulations for integrated parking management in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) on Friday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He requested that a draft with 14 new guidelines be sent to the municipalities in the region. He was speaking at a meeting of municipal commissioners from the MMR called by the transport ministry. "This is being done with the objective to organise road traffic and avoid unnecessary congestion, and therefore it is important to introduce an integrated parking system in the metropolis," Sarnaik said. IAS officers from the UDD and the transport ministry, along with commissioners from various municipal corporations, were present at the meeting. Sarnaik said that in the future it would be mandatory for municipalities to provide special spaces for parking in their development plans. Accordingly, the urban development department should amend its regulations," he said. It was decided at the meeting that to avoid traffic congestion caused by illegal parking along roadsides in the future, municipalities should create a pay-and-park system on their vacant lands. Additionally, municipalities should explore creating pay-and-park systems with prior permission from private societies and landowners for parking between midnight and 6 am. On wider roads, municipalities should establish the alternate-day parking system to prevent congestion. A pay-and-park system based on Fastag technology would enable people to use it without human intervention. Sarnaik suggested that parking fees should be kept very low so that they are affordable and people can easily take advantage of the available parking facilities.

The Thane Municipal Corporation has implemented such a project, which serves as a model, and other municipalities should follow suit," Sarnaik said.
