Overview

• Minister Ashish Shelar directed the BMC to make its road-concretisation dashboard citizen-centric by enabling residents to upload complaints on local roads and damaged utilities.
• Contractors will be penalised for utility damage, and trenches dug alongside roads must be restored within 15 days.
• Permissions for new road works will require prior mapping and coordination of sewer, water and electricity projects to curb repeated digging and service disruptions.
• The public dashboard, live since September 4 as “Cement Concretization Roads in Mumbai,” lists roads, maps progress, shows photos, and provides contacts for contractors and officials along with upcoming plans.
• Mumbai counts 2,121 roads with 771 completed, 574 partially done and 776 yet to start; in H‑West ward, 54 are finished, 47 are partial and 60 are pending, following a review meeting led by Shelar with senior BMC officials.
