Thane: Residents from Saket and Rabodi have been facing heavy traffic problems from past four months at Kalwa bridge during peak hours every morning and evening.
Dayanand Nene, an active resident, said, “Huge traffic problem has now become a routine which worsens during peak hour. A 10-minute way takes an hour to reach Cidco, Thane west, due to traffic.”
A letter and verbal complaint has been sent to the traffic department, yet on Wednesday, residents had to write a letter to deputy commissioner of police (traffic), Rashmi Karandikar, requesting her to take an appropriate action soon.
Nene said, “Unlike earlier, now a ride to Thane station takes around one hour. The opening of Bhiwandi bypass arm of Majiwada flyover has created problem. Since then all tourist vehicles, trucks and company buses climb down the arm and while coming straight they take a left turn to Rustomjee service road, then take a right turn to come to Saket road and head to Vashi. The turn to Saket leads to traffic as they use the entire width of the road, thus causing a jam.”
Residents want officials to stop movement of trucks and tourist vehicles on Saket road (from Balkum aka to Kalwa bridge from 8am to 9pm). They allege that 8am to 11pm and 6pm to 10pm is the worst time when vehicles move at a snail’s pace. Though Saket Residency has their own buses to ferry commuters to and fro Thane station, many are forced to use their private vehicles to take highway and reach station within 10 minutes.
Residents have suggested changes to the traffic department via map. Karandikar said, “Till now, I have not gone through the letter. I will look into the matter and revert in a day or two.”
She added, “Soon, Kalwa bridge
work will start and not much can be done even on temporary basis, yet I would look into the issue in detail and see what could be done.”

Code of Conduct for Repairs and Renovation of Members Flats in Saket CHSL. Dear Member, You may be aware that a large number of flats in the society are undergoing Repairs and Renovation at any point of time, which are carried out many times without proper permission from the society. Over the years, these rampant and extensive repairs have resulted in: 1.     Altering the elevation of the building. 2.     Altering the original plan of the flat. 3.     Damaging the building structure. 4.     Inconveniencing the neighbors. Your Committee is in the process of obtaining Occupation Certificate (OC) from the Thane Municipal Corporation and any such flats who have altered from the basic plan may not be given OC by the TMC – and the society wont be able to do anything in this regard. For your information, i f member wants to do internal structural changes in his flat, he has to obtain approval from Municipal Corporation and a society NOC. If such changes were made without

Dear Friend, The BJP is currently conducting a " Vistarak Yojana" - introduction / spread of the party's ideology to the people. Through personal contact, door to door campaign, letters, mails and meetings, party leaders, office bearers and karyakartas are contacting people on occasion of the party ideologue Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay ji's  birth centenary celebrations. This letter is a part of that endeavor. Introduction: Pandit Deendayalji  Upadhyay was the leader of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh from 1953 to 1968.
