PMC is cleaning and repairing the city before monsoon

Panvel municipal council is going a step ahead to clean and repairing the city, as the monsoon season is on the door step.

When developments named Panvel as the future city, damage in human resource management compelled more people to chose home in slums.

Slums are mushrooming in various open spaces and public areas due limited space in current areas. Area under and near to New bridge witnessed a rapid increase in slums. Unhygienic living conditions and solid waste disposal in important roads have disturbed the developments in the city.Primarily slums are result of increasing population and their incapability to find the source of money according to price rise in the city.
