Street lights are off in Jambwadi for one and a half months

The street lights have been off for the last one and a half months in the Jambwadi area within the Igatpuri Municipal Council limits. Despite repeated requests from the citizens to the Municipal Council, the lights have not been turned on. Since this area is predominantly tribal and surrounded by forests and mountains, there is a risk of wild animals at night. The situation has worsened due to the current heavy rains, and citizens have demanded that the administration immediately restore the street lights.

Flood water in Katkari settlement of Ghoti

Water has entered the Katkari settlement in the Prachitraya area of Ghoti Gram Panchayat limits. As the road leading to the settlement has also gone under water, about 25 people from ten families in this area have lost contact with the city. The Katkari families have been forced to take to the streets as their huts and houses have been submerged. They have demanded immediate help and rehabilitation from the administration.

The administration has appealed to the citizens to be alert. They should avoid travelling on waterlogged roads, and in case of any emergency, they have been instructed to contact Igatpuri, Ghoti, Kasara, or Wadiware police stations, as well as the Taluka Disaster Management Cell. Citizens have been urged to follow the instructions of the administration instead of believing in rumours.
