Water stock in Ransai Dam, which supplies water to the

Uran area, is sufficient for just a few days.

Ransai is the only dam in the taluka through which wa-ter is supplied to 1.5 million people of Uran. The Ransai Dam, which is under the ju-risdiction of Maharashtra Industrial Development Cor-poration, supplies water to 37 Gram Panchayats in Uran ta-luka, Uran Municipal Coun-cil and some industrial com-panies in the area. However, due to the low water levels in Ransai Dam this year, Uraniites

have been facing water shortage since January. With scanty rain-fall even after the monsoon has

arrived on time, has put officials in a tough situation. The water re-

serves in the dam have depleted leading to water cuts.

“The water level in the dam will last only till June 30. Water cuts have already been made once a week on Friday to cope with water scarcity. However, in the next few days, if there is no rain in the Ransai dam area, the citizens of the Uran area are likely to face a more severe water shortage,” informed Deputy Engineer of Uran MIDC, Ravindra Chaudhary.

Chaudhary further ap-pealed to the citizens to use

water sparingly without wasting water.

A woman who abducted a 2-year-old boy near Panvel railway sta-

tion and absconded has been arrested by Panvel taluka police in a few hours. The boy was united with his parents within 12 hours. The woman has been identified as Shevanta Katkari (35) and it is not yet clear for what purpose the woman abducted the child. Therefore, the woman is being further interrogated by the police, said Vivek Pansare, Dep-uty Commissioner of Police, Circle-1.

The father of the abducted boy Ra-jpal Bhosale, who lives with his wife and four children on the footpath near Panvel railway station. On Thursday morning, Rajpal was sleeping with his wife and four children in the open space in front of the booking office on the west side of Panvel railway sta-tion. After the Bhosle couple woke up at 6 in the morning, they went to the washroom. Meanwhile, while all their four children were sleeping in the same place, accused woman Shevanta Katkari picked up the 2-year-old boy Shuham from who was sleeping and

fled. After some time, when Rajpal Bhosale came there with his wife, they found that Shuham was not there.

They searched for Shumaha every-where and lodged a complaint of child abduction at Panvel Railway Police Station.

According to the Panvel Railway Police, while searching for the abduct-ed child, the Taloja police had received information that a small child had sud-denly come to the house of a Katkari woman living at Khanawale Wadi in Panvel. After the information was giv-en to the Panvel taluka police, senior police inspector Ravindra Daundkar, realizing the seriousness of the case, immediately dispatched a team to search for the woman. The team went to Khanawale Wadi and found a 2-year-old boy in Shevanta Katkari's house.

When questioned by the police, she confessed that he was picked up as he was found alone at Panvel railway sta-tion. After that Panvel taluka police arrested Shevanta Katkari and her ab-ducted child was handed over to his parents.

By Dr. Vandana Mahajani

What is prakruti? Material uni-verse manifests itself through

Maya, Lord Krishna says and this is also known as Prakriti. It consists of eight parts and is the one that creates the three worlds. The eight parts are: the five elements earth, water, air, fire and sky, the mind, the intellect and the ego.

The state of equilibrium of these eight parts is my basic, subtle or Para Prakriti. It is also known as the Jiva (individual being). When this subtle Prakriti lovingly creates the gross Prakriti it gives birth to the living be-ings in the world. Four types of life are produced (Jaaraja or born through uterus, Andaja or born through eggs, Swedaja or from sweat e.g. lice etc., and Udbija or born through seeds i.e. plants.) Though all these are equally important they belong to different species. There are 8.4 million of such species and their number in each is countless.

“The Prakriti (Nature) produces lives in each species with the help of the five elements and controls their population. Nature makes them to be born, to live in the world and then causes them to die and return to the five elements. In this process it demon-strates the working of actions and non-actions by the creatures. . Though it is the Nature which creates this expanse of the material world, it is in reality My projection and therefore I am the beginning, middle and the end of this world.”Says lord Krishna

We need to go beyond the Maya and realise the lord that exists in us. There

are four types of devotees. Arta (dis-tressed), Jijnasu (curious), Artharthi (desirous of wealth) and Jnani (enlight-ened). The last one is the real devotee for he wants nothing but God. But no-body knows how, those who have be-come one with God do not leave him even when they die. Those who have gained this perfect Knowledge are the real yogis.

There is another way of easily un-derstanding the abode where yogis go after leaving their body. If a yogi has to leave his body accidentally then he has to take rebirth. If a yogi leaves his body at an auspicious time then the yogi at-tains Brahman immediately but if the

time is improper then he has to take rebirth. Union with Brahman and rebirth depend upon the time of death.

The factors favourable for yogis to leave the body in order to attain Brahman are internally the strength of the fire principle within the body and externally

the bright fortnights during the six months of the northward passage of the sun (Uttarayana) and daytime.

Inauspicious time is when it is dark fortnight, night-time and the months during the southward passage of the sun can only lead to rebirth. A yogi who dies under these conditions, be-cause he is a yogi goes to Chandraloka (Moon plane) and is reborn after some time.

The lord therefore says” be equipped with Yoga so that you attain Brahman. Then it does not matter when and where you shed your body, the uni-fication with Brahman will be eternal.

Central Railway (CR), which ca-ters to around 38 lakh suburban

commuters after pandemic daily, takes precautions so that the train running is not affected during monsoon. Engi-neering, Electrical, Mechanical, Oper-ations, Signal & Telecommunications etc work in tandem and have carried out monsoon precautions to ensure smooth services during monsoon.A) Intensive Track Patrolling:

Track Maintainers aka Patrolmen (The Foot Soldiers of Railway) pa-trol their section in pairs o n foot and scan for any dangers like rail breakage, fracture, etc. Dur-ing the monsoon, certain sections of the railway line, are identified and specified for pa-trolling by railway men to detect dam-age by flood such as breaches, boulder falls, settlements, slips and scours and immediate ac-tion to be taken to protect rains, when warranted.

52 such sections have been identi-fied where patrol-ling is warranted out of which 34 are in Mumbai Divi-sion ghat sections. Around 300 patrol-men have been deployed to patrol the identified sections during full mon-soon. All the patrolmen are provided with GPS trackers and their live loca-tions are being monitored in respective controls.

For systematic and effective patrol-ling, patrol charts are prepared by divi-sional engineers taking into consider-ation the train timings of the timetable in force such that all trains carrying passengers between sunset and sunrise get the maximum protection possible. Each Patrolman is provided with a nec-essary set of equipment. Besides this a Petrol Notebook also given, in which timing of his reporting and movement are recorded by another person at the ends of the sections. The book travels from o ne end to another end as it is exchanged at each other’s jurisdiction limit.B) Round the clock monitoring:

Besides these patrolmen, stationery watchmen at 114 locations over CR are deployed round the clock to guard vulnerable bridges, cutting and tunnel locations. CR Mumbai Division also install around 145 CCTV cameras at 29 vulnerable locations in the ghats to

have a remote and continuous watch. 16 additional pumps provided at flood prone locations.

Before the o nset of monsoon, in ghat sections (Karjat-Lonavala; Kasara-Igatpuri o n Mumbai Division and Dharakhoh and Maramjhiri o n Nagpur Division loose boulders at the top of hill and o n the slope are identi-fied by detailed survey. Such boulders are pulled down and fallen before the monsoon. 625 loose boulders have been identified and have been fallen down in advance this year.C) Cleaning Waterway / Drains:

CR like every year cleaned the wa-terway of around 3,300 small bridg-es to avoid any flooding besides cleaning of side drains all along the routes. Around 999 km of side drains are cleaned before monsoon. 98% of cleaning has been done and the clean-ing of remaining side drains will be completed be-fore the o nset of monsoon. 68 catch water drains have been cleaned.

In Mumbai sub-urban, 29 locations have been identified as flood prone locations. High Pressure pumps have been deployed and will be operated as and when needed.D) Engineering departments to the

forei) Traction Distribution wing carried

out maintenance of crossovers, turnouts, masts, cantilevers, etc for smooth operations of trains by op-erating power blocks. The live line checking by Tower Wagon and foot patrolling of sections have been carried out to ensure healthiness of OHE gears for smooth running of trains.

ii) Electrical General wing carried out transformer cleaning and tight-ening of outgoing connections at TMS substation, power panel, lighting panel, rectifiers, etc.

iii) Signal & Telecom wing carried out meggering of cables, sealing of point motors as part of monsoon preparedness, panel testing, point machine and signal unit repairs and replacement

E) Readiness to face the challenge round the clockAround 170 wagons of boulders

The Navi Mumbai Mu-nicipal Corporation

(NMMC) will be cele-brating International Yoga Day on June 21, under the theme International Yoga Day for 2022 'Yoga for Humanity'.

On this occasion, on behalf of NMMC, on Tues-day, a special yoga event has been organized on 21st June, 2022 at 6.00 am at CIDCO Exhibition Centre, Sector 30A, Vashi. The event has been organised by NMMC in collaboration with CIDCO and the Art of Living.

“The various yoga forms that can be done easily help to keep the body

healthy through body movements. Pranayama in yogasanas helps in main-taining balance of breath as well as balance of mind with body. It also helps to increase concentration. The body gets the energy it needs and helps in in-creasing muscle strength. It has a positive effect not

only on the body but also on the mind. At the same time, many regular yoga practitioners experience the benefits of energy and consciousness,” said NMMC Chief Abhijit Bangar.

He further urged the citizens to par-ticipate in large numbers.

A businessman was swindled of Rs one

crore and seventy by two people who lured him into a car sales busi-ness. The victim Mahesh Kadu, 38, is a resident of Sonari village in Uran. In November 2020, he had been to the Golden Motors car showroom in Palaspe to buy a car for a friend. Then in August 2021, when Ma-hesh went to buy a car for himself, he got ac-quainted to showroom owner Santosh Ven-gurlekar and manager

Vikram Tilore.During that time

Vengurlekar and Tilore informed Mahesh about the car sales business and lured him of good profit and asked him to invest money in their business. Mahesh, be-lieving in their words, invested Rs one crore seventy lakhs in the car sales business of Gold-en Motors and sent the amount to the accounts of both Santosh and Vikram. After that, both Santosh and Vikram sent a small amount of Rs 34 lakh 60 thousand to Ma-

hesh's account to earn his trust. But then later stopped paying Mahesh. When Mahesh tried to contact the two, they stopped taking Mahesh's phone and lost contact with him.

Mahesh Kadu lodged a complaint at the Nha-vasheva police station after it was discovered that both Santosh and Vikram had defrauded Mahesh. Accordingly, the police have registered a case of fraud against Santosh Vengurlekar and Vikram Tilore and start-ed searching for them.

With the results of the S.S.C. examination recently de-

clared, the tensions and anxiety of the parents as well as the children has mounted. Instead of heaving a sigh of relief after the announce-ment of the results, the students are now busy trying to get admission to the stream and the college of their choice. This is of course not an easy task. Even after securing relatively good percentage in the examination, standing for hours in serpentine queues for the admission forms of various colleges, there is always an uncertainty, which ends only when the student actually gets the admis-sion. The improvement in the pass percentages over the years, which has led to a high cut off percentage in colleges, coupled with the limited number of seats, has made the mis-sion admission a difficult and nerve wrecking task with the students vy-ing with each other for even a frac-tion of a mark.

The attitude of some of the over ambitious parents who wish to see their child not less than an engineer or a doctor, makes the matters still worse and adds to the anxiety. It is most unfortunate that even today we are still adhering to some of the age-old concepts, which do not have any

relevance in the present time. Now there are various educational and career options available and many new fields that need to be explored. Instead of being “pushy” parents, there is the need to understand the potential, aptitude and the capabil-ity of a child. However, this is rarely being done. Such is the educational system in our country that a child right from the beginning is caught up in the vicious cycle of school, tuitions or coaching classes and ex-cessive homework. The desire of the parents to make their children “extra smart” and hence their eagerness to get them enrolled in many extra cur-ricular activities increases the bur-den further and takes a toll on their childhood.

The studies conducted worldwide has proved the harmful effect of forcing the children to the me-chanical system of education. Learn-ing should be made enjoyable and voluntary and the students should be allowed to make their own decision with regard to their career. The par-ents as well as the teachers should only guide the students and help them in realizing their real potential. Then only we can create individuals full of confidence and vigor, capable of leading the nation.

A busy sched ule can re-ally take a toll on not

on ly your body, but also your mind and your spir-it. It’s in times like this that we seek those lit tle es capes that can up lift our spir its and help heal what the pre vi ous ly hec tic and drain ing week may have bro ken. But, isn’t there a way to not let ourselves get to the point of breaking? Do we al ways have to let the strug gles of life tear us down to build ourselves back up again over and over? The an-swer to that ques tion is no, we don’t have to con stant ly let life tear us down. Phys i cal, men tal and emo tion al health is what keeps us go ing on a dai ly ba-sis.

The feeling of fear has taken over the optimism that resided once and to-morrow has become a dreaded thing for some. The best thing is that you have complete control over the way you lead your life. If your tomorrow will be an exact repetition of today, and you are not happy today, you are bound to be disappointed even tomor-row. Life is an enigma that alludes to the understanding of humans busy in their daily lives. While some get stuck in their past misfortunes and are crest-fallen, others revel in the beauty of the unknown that tomorrow brings with it.

Health issues crop up as you grow older. A famous writer felt in his old age that if he can perform his morning chores without difficulty, that is enough for the whole day. Some feel that if they walk at least half a kilometre on that day he may feel bad to have his lunch. So that type of strict schedule can keep up in good stead and feel fit throughout the day. Health is wealth and how we maintain our health is in your own hands. Some of the old people are fortunate to have their wife by their side during the crucial period of your life, then she can help you to share the joys of life. Moreover, she can help you out in taking up medicines as per the prescription and that keeps in best of health throughout the life.

Periodical check ups form part of your regular schedule. A heart patient can take an Echocardiogram once in three months along with his sugar re-port and keep a track on the health with your family doctor. If required you can consult a diabetologist in case sugar levels are high and if needed consult a dietitian to make sure that you follow a strict food schedule. With an Echocar-diogram report you can consult the heart surgeon, who has undertaken your oper-ation and helped you to clear the block-ages with the help of stents. Thus health care gives you a much needed boost to go ahead with your regular routine.

A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. It is always a great way to plan for the day ahead. You would be more productive the

next day when you wake up and have a to-do list on your table stacked up based on their prior-ity, rather than thinking and enlisting the tasks for the day in the morning. Knowing what you are up for the day beforehand will make your tomorrow

more organized and less stressed out. If plan A did not work, the alphabet has 25 more letters, so stay cool. Life is a puzzle and things may not always turn out the same way to suppose them to.

Having a plan B for both your near tomorrow and your long-term goals is a great way to cast the safety net and play it safe. Make some time to pre-pare a Plan B for your next day – Be it a different route for reaching a meet-ing or an interview you’re supposed to reach on time or for the alternative to your career if you didn’t get into a program of your choice during univer-sity studies. Have a ready Plan B which can be immediately called into action when things take a detour in your life.

Revitalization is an important as-pect of life and you can never get too much done without the needed energy for accomplishing the same. Listen to relaxing music, read your favourite books, do your favourite activities and make sure you enjoy every aspect of it. Things may turn out too rough some-times and relaxing it off is the only way to find your inner peace. As a man of sixty plus, you are a senior citizen and to supplement your health upkeep, take your food on time, take the course of insulin or tablets in time. To maintain a better health status, take a pill of Re-vital and feel that you have energy to do more for that day. Start every day with a good smile and it is a good start.

Invest today in primary health care schemes for a better tomorrow. With primary health care as part of univer-sal health coverage, everyone will be protected – no matter who they are or where they live. People will be able to get the health services they need with-out financial hardship. But strengthen-ing primary health care is a guaranteed return on investment. The dividends will continue for years. It may be the best investment you will ever make.

You probably care about the envi-ronment and creating a Better Tomor-row for your planet if you’re visiting this website, and we are proud to say we do too. We recognize we have a re-sponsibility to use our resources wisely and to protect them for future genera-tions. You can expect to proactively move forward while striving to achieve our Better Tomorrow Commitments, and to let you know the progress we are making together in the best inter-est of the society. There lies the real success and living a better tomorrow.

Piles of filth and debris that were lying unattended in Sector 34

and 35 in Kharghar after carrying out pre-monsoon work by the Panvel City Municipal Corporation, were finally removed by the Kharghar Congress committee volunteers on 18th June, 2022.

Sp e a k-ing to Newsband, Dr. Swap-nil Pawar w o r k i n g president of K h a rg h a r City Con-gress, said, “It is ironic that firstly the PCMC conducted the work of p r e - m o n -soon in sector-35 and sector-34 area after there was a rainfall. Then the piles of filth that were removed after cleaning the gutters were not picked up for more than ten days. We tagged PCMC on various social media han-dles but to no avail. We finally decided to remove the dirt before it flows back into the drains once the rain starts.”

Another volunteer and so-cial worker Mussadif Modak said, “PCMC has left the pre-monsoon

work incomplete. Leaving it on the road and on the sides is not pre-mon-soon cleaning, instead the corpora-tion has in fact made the place look even more dirty. There is an unbear-able stench and if there is a rainfall, the pedestrians will face a great deal of inconvenience. PCMC needs to

wake up and complete the work on a war footing.”

Abhijit Jyothindraann Mundackal Vice President of Panvel City District Youth Congress Jose James, General Secretary of Kharghar Congress, Deepak Sudhija, Kharghar Congress Member, Harprit Kaur President of Kharghar Mahila Congress and Ishika Sudhija, President, Sector-35 Mahila Congress were present dur-ing the cleaning.

The Agriculture Pro-duce Market Com-

mittee (APMC) despite being one of the big-gest hotspots in the past, has no intention to start covid testing in the mar-ket premises like before.

“We have no plans to implement rapid testing or RT-PCR as of now. The flow of market re-mains the same as no signs of risk have been found in the market premises,” said San-jay Pansare, Director, APMC Fruit Market.

There has been a surge in the number of Covid 19 cases in the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation’s (NMMC) jurisdiction since the beginning of this month. So far, 2678 new cases have been registered in Navi Mumbai. How-ever, no severe cases or a large number of cases

have been found in APMC.

“We have not re-ceived any notice re-garding covid testing

from the municipal cor-poration either. The en-vironment in the market is quite normal and there is no need for testing and forcing any restric-tions”, said Pansare.

“When there are re-strictions, the flow of the market is disturbed. It is good that there are

no unnecessary restric-tions now. There are no covid cases so far in the market,” said Mahindra Shelke, a trader from

APMC.However, NMMC

has already set up test-ing booths at railways stations. More than one thousand people are un-der home isolation and eighteen are admitted at CIDCO Exhibition Centre’s Covid block in Vashi.
