Activists Demand Solution to Water Problem in Ulwe Node
The current water supply is insufficient for Ulwe's growing population, alleged the activists. Cidco said that plans are being charted out to supply additional water to cater to this node.
Larger residential towers in sectors 8, 9, and 10 receive adequate water, whilst smaller societies struggle to get their quota. Ironically, societies in sector 9 were without water for six months, with irregular and inadequate govt tanker service.
The high-rise zone in the hilly region of sector 17 and Javale village, under Cidco's jurisdiction, faces severe water shortages. Sectors 15, 16, and 17 experience distribution issues due to pipeline routing, and buildings near Bamandongri station lack water supply, said Yerunkar.
The absence of a Master Balancing Tank (MBR) in Ulwe results in persistent low-pressure supply, with complete interruption during dam maintenance, said Bakalkar.

The brief water supply duration fails to meet minimum requirements. The activists submitted proposals for immediate implementation and requested Cidco to develop a comprehensive water supply plan considering Ulwe's rapid development. A local resident, Dr Bhushan Patil, said that Cidco failed to live up to its promises for uninterrupted water supply.

The activists also demanded that new construction permits be suspended until these issues are resolved. "How is Cidco letting permission for upcoming construction projects in the node when there's a vivid scarcity of water and no provision in place to supply drinking water to the existing population?" said Jadhav. As per sources, the population of this node crossed 2 lakh in the last few years, and more due to the commencement of suburban train services between Nerul and Uran.

Trump raises tariff on Canadian goods to 35%, escalating US-Canada trade tensions
Trump raises tariff on Canadian goods to 35% U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order increasing tariffs on Canadian imports from 25% to 35% on all products not covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, effective August 1, 2025, according to a White House announcement early Thursday. Goods that are routed through a third country to avoid the new tariffs will face a transshipment levy of 40%, as specified in a White House fact sheet The White House justified the tariff hike by citing what it called Canada's 'continued inaction and retaliation' in bilateral disputes. In response, President Trump asserted, 'We have no choice but to ensure fairness and the protection of American industries,' signaling possible further escalation if Canada retaliates. This marks the highest broad-based tariff the U.S. has levied on Canadian goods in modern history. A previous rate of 25% had already been in effect across a range of products, with sector-specific tariffs as high as 50% on aluminum and steel. The 35% duty now applies broadly to Canadian exports—affecting industries from automobiles and agriculture to metals—which collectively account for about 75% of Canada's export market. The announcement also coincides with contentious diplomatic developments. On the eve of the deadline, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney declared Canada's intent to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state, pending elections and specific criteria. President Trump publicly linked this decision to the trade dispute, writing on his Truth Social account, 'That make it hard for [us] to make trade deal with them,' and firmly establishing an August 1 deadline for new tariffs if no agreement was 2024, Canada was the second-largest U.S. trading partner, with $761.8 billion in two-way trade. Economists caution that the new tariffs could destabilize supply chains already strained by previous rounds of duties and post-pandemic disruptions, triggering inflationary pressures and threatening jobs on both sides of the of Friday morning, Canada has not announced countermeasures but government officials are reportedly considering a range of responses. The Trudeau administration, ousted from office in 2024, had previously favored strategic retaliatory tariffs and appeals through the World Trade Organization. With little immediate prospect for resolution, economists and trade attorneys expect a turbulent period for U.S.-Canada commerce and ongoing uncertainty for multinational businesses.

U.S. President Donald Trump sets 10% to 41% ‘reciprocal' tariffs on dozens of countries' exports
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday (July 35, 2025) imposing reciprocal tariffs ranging from 10% to 41% on U.S. imports from dozens of countries and foreign locations. Rates were set at 25% for India's U.S.-bound exports, 20% for Taiwan's and 30% for South Africa's. The new new tariffs on a wide swath of U.S. trading partners to go into effect in seven days — the next step in his trade agenda that will test the global economy and alliances. The order was issued shortly after 7 p.m. It came after a flurry of tariff-related activity in recent days, as the White House announced agreements with various nations and blocs ahead of Mr. Trump's self-imposed Aug. 1 deadline. Also on Thursday (July 31, 2025), Mr. Trump announced that he would be extending trade negotiations with Mexico for 90 days. But the vast majority of nations are continuing to face uncertainty ahead of the coming deadline. And while a handful of trade deals have also trickled in, many details remain hazy — with businesses and manufacturers around the world bracing for heightened operating costs and potential price hikes regardless. Meanwhile, Mr. Trump's overhaul of American trade policy hasn't gone unchallenged. Appellate court judges have expressed broad skepticism around Trump's legal rationale for his most expansive round of tariffs. More details are awaited
