Mumbra's new station without escalators causing inconvenience for commuters

Image
THANE:   Mumbra, a suburb of Mumbai, recently got a brand new railway station. However, the absence of escalators or lifts at the station has left commuters unhappy and inconvenienced. According to a report by mid-day on January 28, officials had blamed a land dispute for the delay in constructing the escalators, despite the necessary materials being available.

The absence of these facilities means that passengers are forced to climb up and down the stairs, which can be a difficult and tiring task, especially during rush hours.

Yeoor Forest in danger

Yeoor Forest in Danger - Yeoor forest is an extension of Sanjay Gandhi National Park into Thane and is inhabited by tribals and many wild animals including leopards, deer, sambars, wild cats and more. While the indigenous tribals have long protected Yeoor Forest through generations, some of the wild animals are schedule 1 species protected by India’s Wildlife Act. Additionally, several migrant birds have made Yeoor their home. However, over the last few years, Yeoor Forest is under consistent attack by land grabbers, politicians, businessmen as well as hotel and turf owners. This has caused displacement and harassment of Adivasis while tremendously impacting wildlife and its movement in the forest. Bars and restaurants have been built illegally in the forest areas by cutting down trees. These restaurants and bars are operating without fire and other essential licenses. Unruly tourists and the hotels blast music and create a ruckus through the night. An increase in the numbe
