29 January,2025 11:13 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentSix months after a corruption complaint was forwarded to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) by DGP Rashmi Shukla’s office, the ACB has summoned suspended IPS officer Quaiser Khalid to appear before them today. In July last year, mid-day reported on the complaint, which included a copy of the document. The complainant alleged that they had paid Rs 30 lakh in cash to Khalid and sponsored his US trip with an additional $8,000 (USD). The complaint was filed with DGP Rashmi Shukla on May 7, 2024—six days before the Ghatkopar hoarding collapse that claimed 17 lives. Complaint Background According to a complaint filed with the DGP office by a private individual residing in Sakinaka, Khalid allegedly misused his position as railway commissioner and defrauded the complainant of Rs 37 lakh. The complainant alleges that Khalid assured a hoarding contract on railway premises at Dadar Tilak Bridge, Dadar Railway Police Colony, or Ghatkopar, and received the amount in cash. Reportedly, Rs 10 lakh was delivered to Khalid's residence, while R20 lakh was handed over in cash to Arshad Khan at Shivaji Nagar, who is purportedly a close associate of Khalid and a director in his wife's company. The complaint provided specific dates and amounts paid to Khalid, along with WhatsApp conversations detailing his trip to the US and payments amounting to $6000 for Khalid's purchases, as well as an additional $2000 transferred to a family member in the US at Khalid's behest. Due to these allegations of corruption, the complaint was referred to the ACB for investigation. The four-page complaint filed with the DGP office alleges that the complainant was introduced to Khalid by a Chembur resident, at the time when Khalid held the position of commissioner of railways, in February 2022. Khalid shared his contact number with the complainant, and they subsequently met two or three times. Promise to resolve issues According to the complaint, during these meetings, the complainant raised the issue of his hoardings at Dadar Tilak Bridge, which were under judicial review. Despite the ongoing legal proceedings, the railways removed the hoardings. To the complainant's surprise, in March 2022, he discovered that the hoarding contract had been awarded to Guju Ads' without any tender process. When he confronted Khalid about this issue, Khalid allegedly stated that he already had a deal with Guju Ads and assured the complainant of providing another location for his hoardings, either in Dadar Railway Colony or Ghatkopar."After meeting Khalid and receiving assurance from him, I paid Rs 10 lakh in cash as advance at his residence, which was received by one of his close family members, in April 2022," the complainant stated, providing Khalid's residential address and the names of his close family members who received cash. The complainant further stated that after making the payment, the next day he visited Khalid in his office, where he was reassured that the work would be completed, "though it would take some time". Favours demanded in US According to the complaint, on August 24, 2022, Khalid informed him that he was in the US for some personal work. Khalid also mentioned that he would be returning from JFK International Airport on September 7, 2022, and requested the complainant to arrange accommodation for him in a five-star property in the Queens area. Khalid provided names of five different hotels and in a WhatsApp chat with the complainant, allegedly stated, "Okay, but it should include breakfast. We may consider hotels in the Queens area too," as detailed in the letter submitted to the DGP's office. The complaint also alleged that during the US trip, the friend of the complainant in the US gave his âVisa' card to Khalid and the same was used for shopping worth $6100 (USD). Khalid said that he would return the amount after returning from the US. However, he later said that he would adjust the same with the hoarding contracts, according to the complaint. According to the allegations in the complaint letter submitted to the DGP, Khalid called the complainant on September 15, 2022, and instructed him to deposit $2000 in the account of his (Khalid's) family member residing in the US. Khalid asked the complainant to seek assistance from his US friend, to which the complainant responded that the $6100 paid by his friend was already pending. Allegedly, Khalid stated that he would adjust this amount as well with the hoarding contract. Subsequently, the complainant deposited $2000 in Khalid's family member's US account. The complainant then met Khalid regarding the hoarding contracts, and Khalid showed him files that had been forwarded to the DGP office. Following this, Khalid allegedly asked the complainant to transfer R20 lakh to Pasban-e-adab, an NGO run by Khalid. The complainant expressed inability to transfer funds to this account and instead handed over cash to Arshad Khan in Shivaji Nagar (Govandi) in December 2022. Khan is also an accused and arrested by the crime branch SIT in the Ghatkopar hoarding collapse case, he allegedly secured permission of Ghatkopar hoarding and had received more than 1 crore from the accused company.
29 January,2025 10:20 AM IST | Mumbai | Faizan KhanThe Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is contemplating abandoning the desalination project kicked off during the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) regime and focusing on the Gargai dam project to meet the city’s water needs instead. The civic body cancelled the bidding process for the desalination project in September 2024 as only one company was participating in it. A senior civic official said, “We have not taken a final decision about whether or not to scrap the desalination project yet.” According to reports, the desalination project was worth R3600 crore and was to be carried out at Manori. The BMC had invited tenders for the treatment of 200 million litres of water per day, which could be expanded to 400 million litres per day in the future. The project was planned in 2021 and the MVA government was ready to allot 12 hectares of land for it. The idea of adopting desalination came about in 2009 when the city faced a yearlong water cut. The Gargai dam in Palghar district, 110 km away from Mumbai, is awaiting environmental approvals. Worth R5000 crore, the dam could supply 440 million litres of water daily to the city. The proposed site of the Gargai dam in Palghar district, about 110 km away from Mumbai. Pic/Ranjeet Jadhav The BMC is looking for land to purchase to compensate the state government for acquiring 659 hectares of forest land for the project. It has finalised 488 hectares of land at Chandrapur. Also, the Forest Development Corporation of Maharashtra has agreed to give 400 hectares of land near Wada in Palghar district for the project. Vishakha Raut, a Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and former mayor, said the topic of water should not be politicised. “In recent years, rainfall has been unpredictable so we need to explore alternative sources of water. If showers aren’t sufficient in the future, such projects [desalination plant] can help us,” she said. “The BMC should think about desalination and other projects that can serve as alternative sources of water,” she added. Environmentalist Anand Pendharkar said, “Across the world, many countries are decommissioning dams to preserve nature, but we still are thinking only about building them. Dams and desalination projects aren’t the only options. Why is the BMC not making rainwater harvesting mandatory? In Chennai, rainwater harvesting is mandatory even for old buildings. That water as well as treated sewage water can be used for non-potable use. There were ponds and rain wells in many old settlements of the city. That water can be used for not potable use,” Pendharkar added. Expenses involved The cost of desalinating a thousand litres of water is around R40 to R50. Currently, the BMC spends Rs 26 to Rs 30 to purify dam water. The city’s daily water demand is 4200 million litres while it is currently supplied 3950 million litres per day. “For the desalination project, we need to put in place a new water network. For Gargai, we are using an old network with a connecting tunnel between Gargai and Modak Sagar,” an official said. “Also, we are working on using treated sewage water for industrial and non-potable use, which can reduce the load on potable water,” he added. 440 million litresAmount of water Gargai dam could provide daily Rs 5000crCost of Gargai dam project
29 January,2025 09:47 AM IST | Mumbai | Sameer SurveA year after the closure of the old Z bridge that linked Matunga station on Central Railway (CR) to Matunga Road station on Western Railway (WR), commuters and residents complain of inconvenience and seek answers. The bridge was shut and had been in a poor shape and is now in the final phase of reconstruction. Railway officials have claimed that the new bridge will be bigger and wider and It is likely to be opened by February 15. The bridge, a crucial east-west link, was used by lakhs of officegoers, students and locals. There are several municipal schools in the area apart from colleges like Ruia, Ruparel, Khalsa, Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute and Welingkar, besides a vegetable and flower market and several temples. The earlier small open-air bridge stood for almost a century and it abutted CR’s Matunga carriage workshop from where curious onlookers would peep inside the facility. It was featured in Bollywood movies like Seeta Aur Geeta and is also the setting of several ghost stories. Besides urchins haunting it at night, speeding bicycle riders menaced pedestrians. After a mid-day report, the bridge had been barricaded. Its replacement, a completely new structure, is a bit higher and much wider than the older one and does not abut the rail workshop entirely. Railway officials claimed the new bridge has state-of-the-art features. “It is going to have brighter night lights with better lux levels and a roof, which were not in the original BMC plan but are being installed to avoid mishaps as there is high crane activity in the Matunga workshop area sometimes,” a CR official said. CitizenSpeak Mahalakshmi Ravinarayan, senior tutorMahalakshmi Ravinarayan, a senior tutor, said, “Ever since the bridge was shut on January 1, 2024, I have been missing my frequent walks from the west to the east for shopping, temple visits and meeting friends. Taking the alternative route via Dadar by changing trains or walking through the labour camp route is very inconvenient. I hope it reopens before the new academic year as students who throng the numerous educational institutions on either side are the worst affected.” Shreyas Shinde, studentShreyas Shinde, a student, said that he and his peers had been suffering since the bridge was shut. “We take a detour to reach our homes in the west after attending college in the east. With the Z bridge, it used to be a 10-minute walk. Now, it takes us 30 minutes. We have been suffering for a year now and it is a matter of great inconvenience, especially during the monsoon. We are either forced to take the bridge at King’s Circle or Dadar to cover what used to be a short distance.” Aditya Rane, architect and transport plannerAditya Rane, an architect and transport planner, said, “I attended a wedding last month in Matunga and was caught off guard by the Z bridge’s closure. I ended up walking for nearly 25 minutes with my family to reach the other side, navigating a dark, unlit road as no taxis were available on either side. Quite an unexpected and inconvenient experience!”

29 January,2025 08:18 AM IST | Mumbai | Team mid-dayAlmost two years after registering an FIR for ‘operating illegally’, the school education officer, South Zone, has finally initiated the process to shut down Dharavi’s Morning Star School. The students currently enrolled will be relocated to other nearby schools, and parents have already been informed of the decision, the South Zone education officer told mid-day. As per officials of the school education department, the school has been issued warnings and notices multiple times before but still continues to operate without approval and RTE recognition. Officials said that an action has been initiated against the Morning Star School under the RTE Act, 2009. The school is currently running classes from Std I to VIII and has a total of 727 students. The department will now shift these students to other authorised schools nearby in the next academic year, said officials. In May 2023, as part of its collective action against illegal/unauthorised schools in the city, an FIR was registered against the Morning Star School and the school's trustees Sujabai Rajakumar and Rajkumar Nadar were booked under Section 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by a public servant) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 18 (5) of the Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. As per the FIR, the school had obtained temporary approval from Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to run classes from Std I to IV from June 2015 till May 31, 2018. However, despite it expiring in 2018, the school did not renew or even apply for it. “It came to our notice that in June 2021, the BMC had directed the school through a letter to apply for state government approval to operate. However, the school failed to obtain this approval to date. Consequently, we had issued a closure notice on February 28, 2023, and imposed a fine of Rs 1,00,000, along with a penalty of R10,000 per day from the date of the closure notice if the school failed to shut down,” said an official from the school education department. Speaking to mid-day, Education Officer for Mumbai (South Zone) Devidas Mahajan, said, “We conducted an inspection of the school in February 2023. Following this, we issued a verbal order and a formal closure notice. Despite this, the school continued operations. This was the first FIR in the South Zone, and there are more schools under our radar. We will take appropriate action after further inspections and scrutiny.” Mahajan added, “We have already initiated the process to relocate students to authorised schools in phases.” When contacted, trustee Nadar said, “We have not received any closure notice from the school education department. This is extremely unfair to us and the students. We have repeatedly attempted to secure approval, but our applications have been rejected time and again. We will seek legal counsel on the matter and will not allow the school to shut down.” Nadar added, “We are providing education to 115 RTE students under the 25 per cent quota for economically weaker sections. Despite our cooperation with the government, we are being subjected to constant harassment.” One of the parents, Nadar M, said, “We live in slums, and my son is the first-generation learner in our family. I want my son to be different and focus on his education. They say the school is illegal, but it’s doing something legal by educating the poor.” “We have no idea what is going on. I only heard from other parents about the school being illegal. Our main concern is that our children’s education should not be disrupted over what seems like petty issues,” another parent added. 727No. of students enrolled in school
29 January,2025 08:11 AM IST | Mumbai | Dipti SinghThe Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has advised airlines to “rationalise airfares” to Prayagraj and has approved an additional 81 flights to regulate the surge in airfares during the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025. A one-way ticket from Mumbai to Prayagraj’s Bamrauli Airport costs at least R30,000, and from other metro cities the fare is currently around R50,000 or more.Ajay Prakash, owner of Nomad Travels and president of the Travel Agents Federation of India (TAFI), said, “The demand for Prayagraj is such that if one books a non-stop flight from Mumbai to Prayagraj for any date in February, one will have to pay R30,000 one way.” Similarly, Anuj Rathi, chief business and growth officer of ‘Cleartrip’, said, “The highest airfares to Prayagraj were recorded on routes from Jaipur, Bengaluru, Nagpur, Kochi, and Mumbai.” According to an official statement from DGCA, the aviation authority’s approval of 81 additional flights has increased connectivity with 132 flights to Prayagraj from across India.” “The addition of these flights is expected to ease the pressure on airfares and improve overall accessibility for devotees and tourists,” the statement read. Officials from the aviation ministry also disclosed that Naidu had conducted an internal meeting to discuss the issue of airfares before leaving for Davos to be a part of the World Economy Forum (WEF). A MoCA analyst told mid-day, “To be clear on the issue, the government is not deciding airfares. Airfares are not subject to regulation by the government and airlines have the flexibility to determine their airfares based on their operational needs, while adhering to Rule 135 of the Aircraft Rules, 1937. It is just that DGCA has permitted additional flights to Prayagraj which will reduce the stress on the existing network and help in reducing the airfares which are naturally interconnected with the demand on the route.” Meanwhile, passengers travelling to Prayagraj are opting to fly to Darbhanga and then travel by road to Prayagraj due to the surge in the airfares in the sector. Nishit Thoriya, a passenger on a Mumbai- Darbhanga flight, told mid-day: “Most of the passengers on this flight are going to the Maha Kumbh Mela. Since the flight tickets to Prayagraj are costly, most of the passengers choose to reach Darbhanga by flight and then to Prayagraj by road.” Rs 30,000Minimum one-way fare from Mumbai to Prayagraj Rs 50,000Minimum one-way fare from Delhi, Chennai to Prayagraj SpiceJet flight cancelled twice in three days Passengers on SpiceJet flight SG950 (Mumbai to Darbhanga) were stranded in Mumbai for four days. Originally scheduled to travel to Darbhanga on Saturday, the flight was cancelled. These passengers were given a replacement ticket for SG950 which was scheduled to take off from Mumbai on Monday. However, SG950 on Monday was also cancelled. A passenger told mid-day, “Due to high ticket prices on the Mumbai-Prayagraj route, we opted for the Darbhanga flight and planned to travel to Prayagraj via road. What is the use of a refund? The airfares are soaring and we will not be able to book flight tickets at the same rate we had booked earlier. We have been stranded by the airline for the past four days. We just demand that the airline arrange another flight to make us reach Darbhanga.” A SpiceJet spokesperson, told mid-day, “SpiceJet flight SG950 from Mumbai to Darbhanga on January 25 was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions in Darbhanga. Passengers affected were offered options for a full refund or rescheduling on the next available flight. Monday’s Mumbai-Darbhanga flight was also cancelled due to continued bad weather in Darbhanga. We are accommodating all affected passengers on subsequent flights or providing a full refund, as per their preference.” On Tuesday, around five stranded passengers reached Darbhanga after cancelling their original tickets and booking fresh ones at hiked prices. Several passengers were forced to cancel their trip and were waiting for a refund while some continued to wait for a rescheduled flight.
