BMC plaques at 100 landmarks: Plan and execution poles apart, say locals
Mumbai: Over a year after BMC's legacy plaque project at 100 landmarks in D ward to promote its rich historical and cultural heritage, locals have claimed that the vision and the execution have been poles apart—that not only are footpaths now more cluttered but the signage too are difficult to read. The ward is home to some of Mumbai's most iconic institutions like Jinnah House, Royal Opera House, Sophia College, and Babulnath and Mahalaxmi temples. The Rs 18-lakh project initially proposed installation of physical plaques on or near the landmarks, but due to concerns raised by some property owners over attaching signage directly to these buildings, BMC eventually opted for a more flexible approach: setting up slender poles on footpaths bearing the name of the institution, along with a QR code. Scanning the QR code takes users to a webpage detailing the site's significance. BMC began installation of the poles in Nov 2023 and completed it by March 2024. "This was a pilot project. The poles are of an average height of a person," said an official.

"Just having the name on a pole serves little purpose—there should have been a brief history included. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2 & 3 Premium BHK starting ₹ 2 Cr* at Siddha Sky, Wadala Siddha Sky Learn More Undo Most of the areas that are part of the project are busy thoroughfares where people can't stop to scan a QR code," said Sarosh Bana, who resides in D ward's Malabar Hill. Mukul Mehra of Nepeansea Road Citizens Forum said such projects should involve locals in the planning process. "The QR codes are placed so high that scanning them is inconvenient. Even a few lines of history printed on the poles would have been more effective. People aren't likely to stop on a busy street to scan a code and read a webpage. This concept would have worked far better in public parks, where people have the time and inclination to engage with such content," he said. BMC officials said the shift was necessary to ensure that the project could move forward without delays. "Our goal is to raise awareness about the historical importance of specific locations in D ward. The digital format also allows us to include more detailed information than a small plaque could," said an official. Tardeo resident Dr Nilesh Baxi said the concept was promising but its execution has fallen short. "The font is so small that you have to get really close to read it, and even then, it's difficult if there's low light. In many places, these poles have been placed right next to existing road signs with much larger lettering, making them redundant," he said.

Drain gain: Noida puts the lid on decades old woes, finally
Noida: In a civic overhaul that addresses a problem persisting since Noida's inception nearly 40 years ago, stormwater drains in some residential sectors have finally been cleaned and covered ahead of the monsoon. The move aims to curb recurrent backflow, health hazards, and property damage caused by open drains and toxic gas emissions. Sectors that have seen upgrades include Harola in Sector 5, along with Sectors 19, 21, 25, 82, and parts of Arun Vihar, which comprises Sectors 28, 29, and 37. Sector 22 has also written to the Noida Authority seeking similar intervention. Open stormwater drains have long been a source of concern in Noida, with residents complaining of overflowing sewage, noxious stench, and toxic gases like methane and hydrogen sulphide affecting both health and property. During monsoons, water frequently backflows into homes, triggering respiratory ailments, skin allergies, and damage to electronics. You Can Also Check: Noida AQI | Weather in Noida | Bank Holidays in Noida | Public Holidays in Noida The project, launched in 2023 following recommendations from an IIT Delhi study, involves covering the drains with concrete slabs, installing 40-foot chimneys to vent harmful gases, and placing iron grills every 100 metres to facilitate cleaning through super sucker machines. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Drain lengths range from 400 to 930 metres, with a standard width of 6 metres. The cost per stretch has ranged from Rs 5.29 crore to Rs 13.84 crore. In March 2022, TOI had reported on the severe health risks faced by residents in Arun Vihar due to the exposed "Ganda Nala." Since then, parts of the drain have been reconstructed and realigned for proper slope, and cleaning work has been completed in these areas. Residents have welcomed the initiative. "It's a day to hold our heads high. This drain was an irritant and eyesore for decades. Its stench was injurious to health and caused extensive damage to our gadgets. The project was pending for years, but it's finally done," said Col (Retd) OP Mehta, former chairman of the Arun Vihar RWA. Col (Retd) IP Singh, the current chairman of AVRWA, said that the longest covered stretch—930 metres—runs through Arun Vihar, where homes adjacent to the drain faced flooding and toxic emissions every monsoon. "Asthma, skin issues, damaged plants and gadgets—this was routine. Now, there is noticeable improvement," he said. Col (Retd) Anil Kumar Kalra from Ward 2A, Sector 28, however, flagged concerns about the iron grills placed between chimneys. "Last rains, we saw dirty water backflowing into the wards. The authority claims it's been resolved, but we're keeping our fingers crossed. Movable slabs could be a better option," he said. Vijay Rawal, deputy general manager (civil) of Noida Authority, said the grills are critical for periodic cleaning. "Earlier, toxic gases damaged the concrete and hardened the silt, shortening the drain's lifespan from 50-70 years to barely 10-15. Chimneys now vent the gases, and the grills allow access for super sucker machines. We've removed silt up to 1.5 metres deep. Unless the Yamuna floods, I'm 99% sure there won't be overflow this year," he said. The progress in these sectors has prompted RWAs in other parts of the city to demand similar action. A junior engineer in the civil department said that while such work can be carried out in any sector with large stormwater drains, the final approval must come from the Noida Authority CEO. Officials said the remaining work would be completed by early July.

Mettur dam reaches its full capacity of 120ft
Salem: Mettur dam on Sunday reached its full capacity of 120feet with the inflow recorded at 58,324 cubic feet per second. To ensure dam's safety, water is being released downstream and into lakes. As the dam attained its full capacity, minister of tourism R Rajendran released water to the lakes from the Thippampatti Water Supply Station and through the 16 surplus vents directed downstream. While addressing reporters, the minister said chief minister M K Stalin instructed the diversion of surplus water to projects such as ponds, lakes, and Sarabanga to promote water conservation. "The Tamil Nadu government has initiated a project to supply water to dry lakes in the Sarabanga basin of Salem district through irrigation from the Mettur dam, with an estimated cost of Rs 673.88 crore," the minister said. He said under this initiative, when the Mettur dam reaches its full capacity of 120 feet, surplus water will be released to fill 82 lakes and ponds via the Thippampatti main irrigation station, Vellalapuram sub-irrigation station, and Kannanderi sub-irrigation station. "Currently, the work to supply water to 57 lakes has been completed," Rajendran noted, adding that through this project, 356 million cubic feet of water will be redirected, 3,364 acres of land will be irrigated, and drinking water will be supplied. This has resulted in the filling of 11 lakes managed by the water resources department, two municipal lakes, three township lakes, and 41 panchayat union lakes across 32 villages in the Mettur, Omalur, Edappadi, and Sankari taluks.
