Nadir Godrej, Chairman and Managing Director, Godrej Industries Group, emphasizing the organization’s commitment to sustainability and the importance of collective action said, ” At Godrej Industries Group, prioritizing people and the planet is embedded in our core values. Over the past decade, we’ve made significant strides toward sustainability—64% of our energy now comes from renewable sources, and we’ve reduced our plastic packaging intensity by more than 20%. We are proud to collect and recycle 100% of the pre- and post-consumer plastic packaging we produce.

Through our waste management projects, we’ve diverted over 63,000 MT of waste from landfills, freeing up land and reducing environmental impact. This campaign is a natural extension of our commitment to driving meaningful environmental change. By addressing critical challenges like plastic pollution and renewable energy, we aim to inspire collective action and create a sustainable legacy for future generations.”

Plastic waste is a pressing concern in India, with 9.46 million tonnes generated in 2023, nearly 43% of it being single-use plastic. To address this challenge, the campaign emphasizes the importance of adopting sustainable lifestyle choices to reduce plastic consumption and protect the planet’s resources.

Reinforcing this message, the Godrej Magic Ready-to-Mix Handwash Station was unveiled in the Bandra locality of Mumbai. This on-ground initiative, which will be active for over a week, encourages people to reuse bottles by refilling them at the handwash station. The Godrej Magic Handwash Station features a real-time dashboard displaying the amount of plastic one can save in a year by simply switching to refills—transforming personal sustainable choices into a visible, collective impact.

Commenting on the Godrej Magic Handwash initiative, Neeraj Senguttuvan, Head of Marketing – Personal Care, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL), said, “India faces a mounting plastic waste crisis, with millions of tonnes generated annually and single-use plastics posing the biggest threat to environmental sustainability. At GCPL, we foster a sustainability-first culture, balancing business with environmental and social responsibility. Godrej Magic Handwash is a sustainable innovation that uses 50% less plastic, 75% less fuel, and 75% less paper compared to regular handwash. This campaign shows how small, conscious actions—like reusing bottles—can create meaningful, measurable change. Each refill used is one less bottle in a landfill. By visualizing this impact in real time, we’re turning awareness into action.”

The campaign also supported by Godrej L’Affaire, will culminate in a Cyclothon today, inviting participants to reaffirm their commitment to sustainability and reinforce the global call for environmental stewardship.

ठेकेदार को लगाया सिर्फ 4.07 करोड़ का जुर्माना

जिम्मेदार अधिकारियों पर कौन कारवाई करेगा ?

कोरोना समय में विवादित ऑक्सिजन प्लांट के टेंडर में हुई अनियमितता और अधिक मूल्य देने का आरोप लगाया गया था। बड़ा दावा कर मुंबई में बिठाया गया 267 करोड़ के मूल्य के 19 में से 17 ऑक्सिजन प्लांट का काम समय अवधि तक पूर्ण करने में ठेकेदार और उनके सरंक्षक अधिकारी फेल होने की जानकारी आरटीआई कार्यकर्ता अनिल गलगली को उपलब्ध हुए जवाब से सामने आई हैं वही दूसरीओर कुछ कार्रवाई करने के नाम पर ठेकेदारों को सिर्फ 4.07 करोड़ का नाममात्र जुर्माना लगाकर अभय देने का काम हुआ हैं।

आरटीआई कार्यकर्ता अनिल गलगली ने मुंबई मनपा से मुंबई में बिठाए गए ऑक्सिजन प्लांट की जानकारी मांगी थी। मनपा के यांत्रिकी व विद्युत विभाग के कार्यकारी अभियंता शाम भारती ने अनिल गलगली को 19 प्लांट की जानकारी दी हैं इसमें से 17 ऑक्सिजन प्लांट का निर्माण काम समय पर पूर्ण नहीं किया गया। इस 19 में से 12 काम मेसर्स हायवे कन्स्ट्रक्शन कंपनी को वहीं 7 काम यह मेसर्स जीएसएन असोसिएट को दिया गया हैं।

पहिले चरण में 77.15 करोड़ का काम

मुंबई महानगरपालिका ने पहिले चरण में मेसर्स हायवे कन्स्ट्रक्शन कंपनी को 9 स्थानों पर 22,790 एलपीएम प्लांट का निर्माण करने के लिए 25 जून 2021 को कार्यादेश जारी किया गया जिसकी किंमत 77.15 करोड़ इतनी हैं। सभी काम की अवधि 30 दिन की थी। वीएन देसाई, बीडीबीए, कस्तुरबा, नायर, कूपर और केईएम में प्लांट 19 अगस्त 2021 को पूर्ण किया गया और 20 अगस्त 2021 को कुर्ला भाभा, 25 अगस्त 2021 को सायन वहीं 26 अगस्त 2021 को जीटीबी में काम पूर्ण किया गया। इसमें 3.06 करोड़ का जुर्माना लगाया गया। इस कारवाई को ठेकेदार ने चुनौती दी हैं।

दूसरा चरण 59.36 करोड़ का

पहिले चरण में पूरी तरह फेल होने के बाद असफल साबित हुए मेसर्स हायवे कन्स्ट्रक्शन कंपनी को ब्लैक लिस्ट करने के बजाय मनपा ने मेहरबान होकर दूसरे चरण में और 59.36 करोड़ का नया काम का कार्यादेश 27 सप्टेंबर 2021 को जारी किया गया। इसमें 19,760 एलपीएम प्लांट निर्माण का काम था। दहिसर और ऑक्टय नाके का काम समय पर पूरा किया गया लेकिन केजे सोमय्या स्थित काम 12 दिन की देरी से पूरा किया गया।

तीसरे चरण 130.86 करोड़ का

तीसरा चरण इसलिए महत्वपूर्ण हैं क्योंकि प्रोजेक्ट की किंमत यह 130.86 करोड़ इतनी हैं जिसमें 43,500 एलपीएम प्लांट का निर्माण करने का काम यह मेसर्स जीएसएन असोसिएटस को दिया गया। कार्यादेश 27 सितंबर 2021 को जारी किया गया लेकिन एक भी काम निश्चित अवधि में पूरा नहीं किया गया। 12 से 86 दिन की देरी से हुई लेकिन इसमें ठेकेदार को मनपा अधिकारियों ने बचाने का काम करते हुए सिर्फ 1.04 करोड़ का जुर्माना लगाया गया। इसमें बीकेसी फेज 1, बीकेसी फेज 2, नेस्को, दहिसर चेकनाका, भायखला और मुलुंड का रिचर्डसन अँड कृडस वहीं कांजूरमार्ग को लेकर 7 स्थान हैं।

काम की समय अवधि कैसे बढाई?

पहिले चरण में 30 दिन यह काम को पूरा करने की समय अवधि थी जिसे दुसरे और तीसरे चरण में बढ़ाकर 45 दिन किया गया। इस खेल में ठेकेदार को मदद करने के बावजूद 8 काम यह अवधि बढ़ाकर देने के बाद भी समय पर पूरे नहीं हो पाए। काम जो समय में पूरे नहीं हो पाए उसके लिए जो खुलासा किया गया वह समझ से परे हैं। इसमें बड़ी बारिश और बिजली आपूर्ति को आगे किया गया है। एक स्थान पर प्लांट निर्माण के लिए मौजूदा घरों का निष्कासन न होने का कारण दिया गया हैं।

अनिल गलगली का कहना हैं कि ऑक्सिजन प्लांट टेंडर तैयार करते वक्त बाजारमूल्य से अधिक किंमत उल्लेखित करने से मनपा को 100 करोड़ से अधिक का घाटा हुआ हैं। अनुभव न होते हुए भी जिन ठेकेदारों को काम दिया गया उनपर मामूली जुर्माना लगाकर मनपा अधिकारी अपनी गलतियों को छिपाने का काम कर रहे हैं। इसलिए बाद में ठेकेदार को मदद करने के लिए पहले जो समय अवधि 30 दिन की थी उसे बढ़ाकर 45 दिन किया गया इसके बाद भी काम समय पर पूरा नहीं हो पाया। इस काम में जूनियर से लेकर सीनियर अधिकारियों ने किस उद्देश्य से नजरअंदाजी की इसकी जांच होनी चाहिए। जुर्माना सिर्फ ठेकेदार को लगाया गया हैं जबकी सभी अधिकारियों की जिम्मेदारी निश्चित कर कारवाई करने की मांग अनिल गलगली ने मुख्यमंत्री उद्धव ठाकरे और मनपा आयुक्त को भेजे हुए पत्र में की हैं।

इससे पहले खबर आई कि राज्य में कुछ ढील के साथ लॉकडाउन जारी रखा जाएगा. स्वास्थ्य मंत्री राजेश टोपे ने कहा- ‘ये निर्णय किया गया है कि लॉकडाउन को पूरी तरह से नहीं हटाया जाएगा क्योंकि 21 जिलों में पॉजिटिविटी रेट 10 प्रतिशत से ज्यादा है. उन जिलों में कुछ ढील दी जा सकती है जहां पर नए मामलों में कमी आ रही है. कुछ दिनों के भीतर गाइडलाइंस जारी कर दी जाएंगी.’
कहा जा रहा था कि कोरोना संकट से उबर रहे महाराष्ट्र में जारी पाबंदियों में जल्द ढील दी जा सकती है. राज्य सरकार 1 जून से अनलॉक की प्रक्रिया शुरू करने पर विचार कर रही है. शुरुआत में समयसीमा के साथ दुकानों को खुलने की अनुमति दी जाएगी. वहीं, लोकल रेल सेवा अनलॉक के अंतिम चरण में शुरू हो सकती है.

बता दें कोरोना के खिलाफ प्रयासों को लेकर बीते दिनों के दौरान बृह्नमुंबई महानगर पालिका की तारीफ की जाती रही है. दूसरी लहर में बीएमसी कमिश्नर इकबाल चहल के निर्देशन में युद्ध स्तर पर काम करते हुए बीएमसी ने कई निर्णय तेजी के साथ लिए. इनमें बेड की व्यवस्था से लेकर वार्ड वॉर रूम बनाए जाने की योजना शामिल थी. अब मुंबई में नए मामलों की संख्या में काफी कमी आ गई है. अब शहर में बेड्स की व्यवस्था और ज्यादा दुरुस्त हो गई है

Although the spread of COVID-19 in Mumbai is under control, there has been a surge in the number of cases over the past few days. Hence all MCGM machineries need to be extra vigilant. In view of the rising number of cases in the city, hands of those who are advised for home quarantine shall be stamped while those breaking rules shall be prosecuted. Action shall also be initiated against organisers and managements/establishments flouting rules laid down for organising weddings. 300 marshals to be deployed in suburban trains to take action against citizens travelling without masks. Number of marshals to be deployed across Mumbai will be doubled. Buildings with more than 5 COVID-19 patients to be sealed, and more such directives were issued today by Municipal Commissioner Shri Iqbal Singh Chahal.

The threat of COVID-19 is still not over yet with the new strain of the virus spreading in some parts of the World. While the vaccination drive is on in full swing across Mumbai and Maharashtra, and since the number of COVID-19 cases have been on the rise for the past few days, Chief Minister Shri Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray has instructed all to take precautions.

In this regard, Municipal Commissioner Shri Iqbal Singh Chahal held a meeting with all Additional Municipal Commissioners, Zonal Joint Commissioners, Deputy Commissioners, Assistant Commissioners of all Ward Offices along with concerned officers via video conferencing. Municipal Commissioner Shri Chahal reviewed the situation and gave necessary directives to all concerned.

Municipal Commissioner Shri Chahal said that in comparison to June-July 2020, the spread of coronavirus in the city is still under control. However, with the number of cases on the rise, the system needs to be vigilant. As public life returns to normalcy, it becomes all the more important for citizens to follow all COVID-prevention norms; especially since the threat of coronavirus is not over yet. It is pertinent to take stringent action against offenders to limit the spread of the virus. In line with the above, Municipal Commissioner Shri Chahal has given the following directives:

1. All asymptomatic patients being treated at home (home quarantine) to be stamped as earlier. Also, their information should be communicated to their respective societies. Ward War Rooms are instructed to closely monitor the patients. They should be contacted via landline telephone 5 to 6 times a day to ensure that they are at home. Close contacts should be isolated after taking complete information of the patient. If the asymptomatic patient steps out of the house or walks around in any public space before their Home Quarantine period is over, societies are requested to cooperate with MCGM and inform their respective Ward War Rooms. Ward War Rooms are instructed to take legal action against such patients. In addition, these patients will then be subjected to compulsory institutional quarantine.

2. Residential buildings with more than 5 COVID-19 patients will be sealed.

3. Use of mask is mandatory in wedding ceremonies, gymkhanas/clubs, nightclubs, restaurants, cinema halls, all religious places, playgrounds and gardens, public places, shopping malls as well as all private offices.

The daily number of Covid-19 cases, however, has risen to 1,000, from the range of 500 earlier this month before Diwali.

“In the past 15 days, the testing has gone up, and we have also witnessed a little surge in the daily cases being reported. With the increase in testing, we will have to wait and watch at least till December 15 to understand better the post-

A milestone of more than 14.13 crore COVID-19 tests have been conducted in India so far. While the cumulative positivity rate stands at 6.69%, average daily positivity rate in the last week has been 3.72%. In the month of November, 2020, more than 10.55 lakh tests were conducted daily, while on an average 43,152 new cases were reported daily and 47,159 persons recovered daily. This has been stated by Shri Rajesh Bhushan, Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, in course of a media briefing on the actions taken, preparedness and updates on COVID-19, held at National Media Centre, New Delhi today. The Health Secretary further remarked, “In the month of November 2020, the number of recoveries has been more than the number of new cases. As a result, the number of active cases in the country is continuously declining.”

Shri Bhushan further briefed, India still figures among the countries having lowest number of COVID-19 cases and deaths per million population. In the last 7 days, 211 cases and 2 deaths per million population have occurred in the country. Over the last three weeks, a continuous decline in cumulative positivity rate has been seen. A decline in daily new cases is also continuing. This apart, the website ‘Our World in Data’ stated that, in the period between September 1 – November 29, 2020, India has been ahead of countries like Russia, France and UK, in terms of the number of COVID-19 tests conducted.

The Health Secretary also informed that the top 5 states that have shown a decline in active cases during the last month (Nov 1-Dec 1, 2020) are Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal. The top 5 states showing a rise in active cases in the same period are Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan.

Stating these facts, the Health Secretary once again appealed to all to follow the COVID Appropriate Behaviours of wearing a mask, washing hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based sanitizer, following physical distancing norms and getting tested and isolated on developing any symptom.

In reply to a media query, the Health Secretary informed, most of the trials, related to vaccines and drugs, are multi-centric, multi-site. Each site has an Institutional Ethics Committee, which is independent of the Government or the manufacturer. In case of any adverse event, this Committee takes note and gives its report within a period of 30 days to the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI). This apart, the Data Safety Monitoring Board, consisting of domain knowledge experts, monitors the clinical trials on a day-to-day basis and keeps an eye on adverse events and reports it to the DCGI, who then analyses all reports to find out whether there is a one-to-one co-relation between the adverse event and vaccination. The DG of ICMR, Prof. (Dr.) Balram Bhargava added, it is the role of the DCGI, after collating all the data, to ascertain or refute whether there is a causal link to the event. This is done on a scientific basis. The initial causality assessment did not necessitate stoppage of these clinical trials, stated the DG, ICMR.

In reply to a query on whether those who have already had COVID-19 and developed anti-bodies need to be vaccinated, the Health Secretary stated, National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration is also mandated to decide whether people who have already developed anti-bodies, will be vaccinated. Many countries and scientific communities are still discussing it and no final decision on this matter has been arrived at, he informed.

Kangana said in a tweet, “Dear respected honourable @INCIndia president Sonia Gandhi Ji being a woman aren’t you anguished by the treatment I am given by your government in Maharashtra? Can you not request your government to uphold the principles of the Constitution given to us by Dr Ambedkar?”

She went on to add, “You have grown up in the west and lived here in India. You may be aware of the struggles of women. History will judge your silence and indifference when your own Government is harassing women and ensuring a total mockery of law and order. I hope you will intervene.”

This comes a day after Kangana took to her handle to slam Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray for allegedly carrying out vendetta politics and carrying out a demolition drive at her Mumbai office.
Yesterday in a tweet she said that, as a symbolic gesture, she will not renovate the portions of her office that were demolished on Wednesday by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. The BMC carried out the demolition based on alleged structural violations.

Meanwhile Kanganas mother ASHA RANAUT has thanked Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for providing Y-plus category security to her daughter even as her tussle with Shiv Sena leaders escalates. Asha added that the gesture has made her a BJP supporter now.

Asha Ranaut said : “The blessings of the entire country are with Kangana. I am proud that my daughter has always stood for the truth. I thank Union Home Minister Amit Shah. We are not even associated with that party (BJP), we were from the Congress. My grandfather-in-law was a member of the Congress party. Even though they (BJP) knew that we were from the Congress from the beginning, they supported us.”

In a tweet, the actor wrote, “I had my office opening on 15th Jan, shortly after corona hit us, like most of us I haven’t worked ever since, don’t have money to renovate it, I will work from those ruins keep that office ravaged as a symbol of a woman’s will that dared to rise in this world.” She added the hashtag, “Kangana vs Uddhav,” a sign of her continued altercation with Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray.

Meanwhile Maharashtra BJP MLA and spokesperson Atul Bhatkhalkar sought the attention of the Chief Minister asking him to send the Police Commissioner on leave to end the deadlock in the ongoing probe into the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. While another BJP leader BJP leader Ashish Shelar accused Sushant Singh Rajput’s psychotherapist Susan Walker Moffat of sharing details about the mental health of the late actor to the media in violation of the law.

Shelar also asked if Moffat, a foreign national, was practising in India illegally, and demanded that she be probed by various agencies.

“#Sushantsinghrajput Why Susan Walker Moffat illegally share Sushant’s mental health details 2 media? 2 misguide police? Hide secrets? Her Practice illegal? Earning crores?

Sushant Singh Rajput, 34, was found hanging from the ceiling of his apartment in suburban Bandra in Mumbai on June 14. Mumbai police has been probing the case and recorded statements of 56 people including Bollywood directors like Aditya Chopra, Mahesh Bhatt and Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Bihar IPS officer Vinay Tiwari, who was quarantined in Mumbai after his arrival to oversee probe in Sushant Singh Rajput death case, was allowed to return to his home state Bihar.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) today allowed Bihar IPS officer to return to his home state. The Superintendent of Police of Central Patna, Tiwai has been exempted from quarantine protocols.

Tiwari had reached Mumbai on Sunday to oversee an investigation into the FIR filed against actress Rhea Chakraborty in the Sushant death case. Rhea, the girlfriend of Rajput, was booked on abetment to suicide and other charges on a complaint filed by Sushant Singh’s father in Patna.

Meanwhile, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a case in the matter after the central government accepted the Bihar government`s recommendation for a CBI probe in the matter.

The organisers have decided to set-up a blood and plasma donation camp instead.

To reduce Covid-19 deaths in Mumbai hospitals, the BMC released a nine-point protocol that will be followed under the new initiative ‘Save Lives Strategy’. BMC noted that many deaths in hospitals occur as patients remove oxygen to go to the toilet, especially between 1 am and 5 am. Under the new protocol, it will now be mandatory for every bed to be provided with a bed-pan. It will also be mandatory for junior and senior doctors to conduct meetings twice a day for updates on patients, either through video conference or telephonic conversation.

Meanwhile, a study conducted by NGO Praja Foundation has found that areas with poor civic facilities are more susceptible to the proliferation of Covid-19 cases.

Maharashtra’s coronavirus case tally rose to 1,74,761 on Tuesday with addition of 4,878 new patients while the death toll mounted by 245, including 57 fatalities in Mumbai, to 7,855, state health department said.
Maharashtra, which has the maximum number of coronavirus cases in the country, has extended the lockdown till July 31. According to the latest guidelines issued on Monday, shopping, outdoor exercise and movement for all other non-essential activities have to be limited to neighbourhood areas. No such curbs were announced when such activities were first permitted from June 5 as part of the ‘Mission Begin Again’ initiative.

Meanwhile, India recorded 507 deaths and 18,653 coronavirus cases in the last 24 hours, pushing the total number of infections to 5,85,493, including 17,400 deaths.
