The State Human Rights Commission has initiated suo motu action based on a news report in this paper regarding a road that hasn’t been constructed despite being planned 30 years ago. Even after the court’s direction, the BMC didn’t inform Chandivli residents about the hearing nor took any firm steps. In a recent hearing, the commission raised strong objections over the slow progress and stated that only after the news article in this paper and our intervention, steps seem to have been taken at a snail’s pace.
The commission further ordered that a final chance be granted for due and proper compliance with the directions, else heavy costs would be imposed on the municipal commissioner. The next hearing is on February 27.
