**Mumbai: BMC to Form Dedicated Landscaping Committee for Coastal Road Beautification Project**
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is set to appoint a dedicated **Landscaping Committee** tasked with evaluating and approving the design report submitted by Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) for beautifying 53 hectares of reclaimed land along the Mumbai Coastal Road.
### Role of the Landscaping Committee
Beyond design approvals, the committee will function as a single-window facilitator to ensure all necessary permissions for greening and landscaping works are obtained seamlessly and at no cost.
### Coastal Road Accessibility Updates
The entire stretch of the Coastal Road, from the Princess Street flyover at Marine Drive to the Worli end of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL), has been open to traffic 24/7 since August 15. This includes 5.25 kilometers of the planned 7.5-km-long promenade and pedestrian underpasses (PUPs).
Simultaneously, Tata Sons Limited is undertaking the beautification of a 5-hectare central median along this arterial road.
### Reliance Industries’ Involvement
Reliance Industries was among five companies that responded to the BMC’s Expression of Interest (EOI) to develop 53 hectares of open spaces along the Coastal Road under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.
RIL will also be responsible for the maintenance of the gardens, promenade, and pedestrian underpasses (PuPs) for the next 30 years. The proposal recently received final approval from Municipal Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani.
### Project Approval and Scope
A senior civic official stated, “With administrative approval in place, a Landscaping Committee will soon be formed to approve the design and serve as a single-window facilitator for obtaining all necessary permissions for the landscaping works.”
The Rs 400-crore project includes:
– Development and maintenance of gardens and parks
– Creation of cycle and pedestrian paths
– Landscaping and infrastructure upkeep including sewage treatment plants (STPs), lighting, CCTV, and security
– Maintenance of public utilities and signage
– Implementation of sustainable practices focusing on water conservation and environmental protection
### Impact of the Coastal Road
The Coastal Road is a 10.58-km, 8-lane expressway connecting Worli to Marine Drive, developed at a total cost of Rs 13,984 crore. This new route has significantly benefited motorists, reducing travel time between Bandra and Marine Drive to just 10-12 minutes.
According to the BMC, the road has reduced travel time by 70% and fuel consumption by 34%.

**17-Year-Old Boy Battles for Life After Severe Electrocution at Worksite in Panvel**
A 17-year-old Class XII pass boy has been fighting for his life in a coma after suffering a severe electrocution accident that led to the amputation of both his arms. The incident occurred in May this year at a pandal decoration site in Chikhale village, Panvel.
### Incident Details
The boy, identified as Shubham Andhale, was reportedly forced to work under unsafe conditions by contractor Pankaj Janeshwar Phadke. While working on a ladder, Shubham came into contact with a high-tension electric wire, which caused him to fall and sustain grave head injuries along with severe burns on his limbs. As a result, doctors had to amputate both his arms from the elbows.
“Since the incident on May 1, Shubham has remained in a coma-like state, unable to move or respond, with only his heart and eyes still functioning,” said his father, Kundalik Andhale, a rickshaw driver.
### Family Struggles Amid Medical Crisis
The family is struggling to cope with the mounting medical expenses. Andhale explained that they have exhausted all their savings and taken on heavy debt to afford Shubham’s treatment.
“My son was a bright student and talented in sports. He took up labour work to help improve our family’s living conditions. But now, he is fighting for his life and weighs barely 30 kg, down from a healthy 85-kg. We have already spent over ₹11 lakh on his treatment, yet the contractor who employed him has abandoned us,” Andhale shared emotionally. “We are pleading with the government and authorities to save my son’s future.”
### Treatment and Financial Assistance
Shubham spent three months in the ICU at MGM Hospital, Kamothe, on a ventilator. Due to unbearable expenses, the family had to bring him home. His mother and brother now feed him liquid nutrition through a nasal tube.
So far, the family has received ₹1 lakh in aid from Minister Pankaja Munde, and ₹50,000 from the pandal owner, who later distanced himself from further responsibility.
### Legal Action Against Contractor
Police have booked contractor Pankaj Phadke under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including:
– Section 125(a): Causing danger to human life through reckless actions
– Section 125(b): Acts endangering human life where grievous hurt is caused
– Section 289: Negligent conduct with respect to machinery
– Section 351(2): Criminal intimidation
Phadke is accused of employing a minor without proper safety measures and intimidating the family when they sought accountability for the accident.
### Family’s Ongoing Struggles and Plea for Help
Besides Shubham, the family has a 21-year-old elder son who is struggling to pay his college fees. Andhale added, “My wife used to earn ₹10,000 a month, but now she must stay home to care for our son. That source of income has also stopped.”
The family continues to appeal to authorities and well-wishers for support to help save Shubham’s life and secure his future.

**Supreme Court Lifts 25-Year Ban on Construction in Pachmarhi Cantonment, Allows G+3 Floors**
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court has lifted a 25-year-old ban on construction in the Pachmarhi cantonment area. The court’s ruling now permits the construction of houses up to ground plus three floors (G+3), bringing much-needed relief to approximately 12,000 residents living within the 1,000-hectare cantonment zone.
Senior advocate Vivek Tankha, representing the Cantonment Board, highlighted the challenges posed by the earlier restrictions. He explained that the small plot sizes in the cantonment—some as tiny as 200 to 300 square feet—made construction practically impossible under the previous regulations.
The Supreme Court has directed the implementation of the G+3 construction plan for all new buildings in the region. This move follows recommendations made in March 2018 by a Supreme Court-appointed committee, which advocated permitting G+3 structures to address the ongoing difficulties faced by residents.
The original construction ban was imposed in 2000. Since then, the Cantonment Board had actively sought relief, including filing an intervention application in 2008 against restrictions imposed by the Supreme Court’s empowered committee. This committee was initially set up to monitor and curb illegal constructions in national parks.
Commenting on the recent verdict, Tankha tweeted that the decision would be a source of long-awaited relief for Pachmarhi’s residents. Additionally, Lovekesh Sahu, the office superintendent of the Cantonment Board, stated that the Supreme Court ruling resolves the long-standing challenges faced by those owning small plots in the area.
This development promises to pave the way for improved housing opportunities and better urban planning within the Pachmarhi cantonment, benefiting its thousands of inhabitants.

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Supreme Court has lifted the 25-year-old ban on construction in the Pachmarhi cantonment area, permitting houses up to ground plus three (G+3) floors. This significant move is expected to benefit approximately 12,000 residents living within the 1,000-hectare cantonment zone.
Senior advocate Vivek Tankha, representing the Cantonment Board, highlighted the challenges faced by residents due to earlier restrictions. He pointed out that the small plot sizes—sometimes as little as 200 to 300 square feet—made construction virtually impossible under the previous regulations.
The Supreme Court has directed the implementation of the G+3 plan for all new constructions in the cantonment area, marking a progressive change in building norms. The original ban on construction had been imposed back in 2000.
In March 2018, a committee appointed by the Supreme Court had recommended allowing G+3 construction, paving the way for this recent decision.
Expressing optimism about the ruling, Vivek Tankha tweeted that it would bring much-needed relief to the residents of Pachmarhi.
Lovekesh Sahu, office superintendent of the Cantonment Board, noted that the Supreme Court’s decision resolves the long-standing challenges faced by residents owning small plots in the region.
The Cantonment Board had earlier filed an intervention application in 2008 against restrictions imposed by the Supreme Court’s empowered committee, which was initially formed to monitor illegal constructions in national parks.
This landmark verdict is expected to spur development and improve living conditions in Pachmarhi cantonment after more than two decades of construction restrictions.
