[Resolved]  Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation, Mumbai — Damaged Road junction at JSS Road & Tatya Gharpure Path

Horrible Road condition at the junction of Tatya Gharpure Path and Jagannath Shankar Sheth Road.

Municipal D Ward Officer may have been noticing and observing daily that the BEST Buses, Transport Trucks, and other vehicles plying on Jagannath Shankar Sheth Road have to bump their vehicles very badly making huge sound as well as getting their vehicle damaged as far as the spare parts such as Suspension Kit, Shock Absorbers and Knuckle Joints. Heavy traffic of Loaded Trucks and BEST Buses further damage road due to bumping action at this particular junction, the nearby old buildings shake to a great extent and one can notice and feel its seriousness at night. I did make complaint through letter (which is attached herewith) to Local Councillor Mrs Meenal Juwatkar, however she has not bothered to look in to the matter.

Through your good offices, I hope D Ward BMC Officer will take action to inspect the Road Junction in the subject and see that smooth surfacing is made at earliest.

Dear Councillor Mrs Meenal Juvatkar,

Today I desire to draw your attention to the Road condition at the junction of Tatya Gharpure Path and Jagannath Shankar Sheth Road. You may have been noticing and observing daily that the vehicles plying on Jagannath Shankar Sheth Road have to bump their vehicles very badly making huge sound as well as getting their vehicle damaged as far as the spare parts such as Suspension Kit, Shock Absorbers and Knuckle Joints. Due heavy traffic of Loaded Trucks and BEST Buses due to this vehicle damaging depressed bumping action at this particular junction, the nearby old buildings shake to a great extent and one can notice and feel its seriousness at night.

If you, yourself wish to experience this serious vibration feature, you may visit my house which is just a walking distance from your house. I really wonder as to how this existing horrible road condition is kept as it is since long… .. which I am observing since last more than two years now… I did tell your party worker Mr Khedekar and he could manage to pour some Tar- metal but this was just a temporary Patti Job. And within a month only, the road junction comes back to its original damaged shape.

I had lodged complaint about this Bad Road Junction over Internet with MCGB but I get computerized reply stating

I quote,
“1. Your complaint has been forwarded to Maintenance - D Ward . Complaint No. [protected]

2. Your complaint has been forwarded to Pest Control Officer - D Ward . Complaint No. [protected]

I did not bring this defective Road Junction to your notice purposely…. Just because I wanted to see how seriously you are observing the surroundings and nursing your constituency with your own initiative.

I am attaching here the Photograph to make you know and understand the horrible condition of the Road Junction.

You may show this photograph to BMC’s Chief Engineer Roads –in-Charge as well as to other concerned authority like D-Ward Officer, Municipal Commissioner and Hon’ble Mayor Mrs Raul. Jagannath Shankar Sheth Road is the main road with heavy traffic plying BEST Buses, Trucks, Dumpers, School Buses, Water Tankers (throughout day & night), Private Vehicles and Scooters etc..

I would be very happy to invite BMC’s Chief Engineer to stay in my house for a night and experience himself the horrible noise and vibration that we are experiencing.

The only remedy is to make the road in proper shape and in level removing all the trace of any ditches, depresssed u shape channels and distortedly crooked road surface.
I humbly request you to look at my suggestion and please see that “This entire rectangular patch as marked be scrapped properly and re-tarred with proper application of pressure roller. “

With warm regards,
Yours faithfully, TO:
Hon’ble Municipal Councillor Mrs Minal Juwatkar, Mumbai.
