Mumbai: Even as a decision to divide the densely populated P-North Ward (Malad east and west, and some parts of Goregaon and Kandivli) have not become a reality even though the 5-crore Hospital allocation is in a budget of 2021-22, BMC.
Propose to divide two larger nobles – K-East (Vile Parle East, Andheri Timur, Jogeshwari East and Marol) and L (Kurla, Saki Naka, Chunabhatti and Chandivli).
The proposal was placed in the presence of the Civic Group leaders on Tuesday, but was not taken for discussion.
After three divided wards, Mumbai will have 27 administrative wards, three more than 24.
BMC is interested in redrawing the boundaries of these three wards for providing civil facilities, such as water supply, sanitation services and citizens, has become a challenge Because of the large geographical area and population size, said a senior senior official.
The two-member panel was appointed by BMC, which consisted of the city commissioner with Bharat Marathe and Sunil Dhamne, recently proposed to divide Bifurcate K-East to K-South and K-North, and L ward off to L-South and L-North .
Ward K-East has a population of more than 8.2 lakh people who live in a 16.8 km square area.
“The panel has identified two new locations for K-South and K-North Wards and after bifurkasi, of the 15 existing canporators, seven will be in the south and eight others in K-North Ward,” the official said.
The existing K-East administration building will be used for both wards.
L Ward spread in 15.6 square kilometers and accommodating a population of nearly 9 lakh.
“According to the proposal, the ward will be divided into L-South and L-North.
Of the 16 existing corporators, nine will be in L-North and seven in L-South.
The environment of the environment in Kurla (W) will be converted to offices The new L-South Ward and L-North Ward office will be established in the BMC building in Chandivli, “the official said.
In January 2021, in their reply to BJP MLA Atul Bhatkhalkar, officials of the urban development department said that the decision for the Bifurcate P-North Ward had been taken, but BMC still worked on the details.
“BMC made the budget allocation of RS 5 Crore to divide the P-North Ward, but nothing was done on the ground for a year.
BMC must reorganize rationally and optimally from the environment.
There are wards such as B and C in Mumbai South which hardly have a population.
They must be combined so that resources are not in vain, “Samjwadi suggested MLA and Corporator Rais Shaikh.
