Lengrekar also directed action against encroachment on footpaths, unattended vehicles and unauthorized hawkers.
The Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation (UMC) authorities have started a survey of dangerous and dilapidated buildings before monsoon season to avoid any incident which could claim people’s lives. Conventionally, the PWD (Public Works Department) carries out the survey of dangerous buildings, but the Ulhasnagar civic chief has requested a parallel survey so that no building is missed.
UMC authorities will visit buildings to assess them and prepare a report. If found unsafe for habitation, the residents of the structure will be asked to vacate it; if the structure is found to be suitable for habitation after repairs, an order will be given to further pursue the same. Residents are heartened that the UMC has had the foresight to avoid unforeseen crises and assure the safety of residents, even while being occupied with the election duty. The effort will help mitigate potential disasters and loss of lives.
