Power Outage Risk Looms in Monsoon as BMC Blocks Cable Repairs
Social Worker Warns of Public Unrest Over BEST Inaction Amid Road Work Ban
Mahim Mumbai ke samaj sevak Irfan Machiwala ne ek gambhir samasya ko lekar awaaz uthai hai jisme unhone kaha hai ki Mumbai mein BMC dwara sadak khodai par lagayi gayi pabandiyon ke chalte BEST Bijli Vibhaag apni faulty underground cable ki marammat nahi kar pa raha hai. Machiwala ke mutabiq BMC filhaal kisi bhi concrete ya asphalt road par cable marammat ke liye khudai ki permission nahi de raha hai, chahe mamla kitna bhi zaroori kyun na ho.
Irfan Machiwala ne yah bhi kaha ki monsoon ke dauraan zameeni stithi aur bhi jatil hoti ja rahi hai jisme BEST ke adhikariyon aur karmachariyon ke liye kaam kar pana mushkil hota ja raha hai. BMC DLP ya non-DLP dono tarah ke roads par kisi bhi tarah ke cable marammat ki permission dene se inkaar kar raha hai jisse BEST ke paas koi bhi action lene ka adhikar nahi bacha hai.
Unhone samjhaya ki construction ke sandarbh mein DLP ka matlab hota hai Defect Liability Period yaani ek aisa samay jab contractor par kisi bhi truti ke liye jawabdehi hoti hai. Lekin BMC ke dwara kisi bhi sthiti mein khudai ki anumati na dena, chahe sthiti apatkalin hi kyon na ho, jan suraksha aur moolbhut suvidhaon ke liye khatra ban gaya hai.
Machiwala ne chetavani di ki agar chaar mahine lambi monsoon season ke dauraan cable mein fault aata hai aur bijli ki supply ruk jaati hai to isse nagarikon mein gussa badh sakta hai. Unhone yeh bhi kaha ki agar time par bijli suvidha wapas nahi mili to BEST ke karmachariyon ko janta ke gusse ya hinsa ka samna bhi karna pad sakta hai.
Unhone is sthiti ko turant aur sambhavit roop se khatarnak batate hue Maharashtra ke Up Mukhyamantri Eknath Shinde, BMC ke Aayukta Bhushan Gagrani aur BEST ke General Manager ke beech ek uchch star ki meeting bulane ki maang ki.
Unka kehna hai ki is samasya ka turant hal nikalna chahiye warna kisi bade durghatna ya jan andolan ke hone ka khatra bana rahega. Monsoon ke samay jab civic aur infrastructure sevaayein thap pad jaati hain to yeh tanav aur bhi badh jaata hai jo kisi sankat mein tabdeel ho sakta hai agar ise turant nahi dekha gaya.
