Bulls, City make signings ahead of fixture juggle
Macarthur FC have added former South Korea international Ji Dong-won to their attacking stocks as they prepare to juggle their A-League Men season with a return to Asian Football. Elsewhere, Melbourne City have signed Japanese attacker Takeshi Kanamori on a two-year deal ahead of their Asian Champions League Elite campaign. The Bulls are in the ACL2 competition after winning last year's Australia Cup, while they will also be hoping to return to the ALM finals mix. Striker Ji had a stint with Sunderland FC in the English Premier League and played in the Bundesliga, most notably at Augsburg. The 34-year-old has made more than 100 K League appearances and scored 11 goals in 55 internationals between 2010 and 2019. He was also part of the team that won a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics. "I love Australia, it has a good lifestyle and good football with strong young players. This is a good last challenge for my career," said Ji, who has signed a one-year deal. "I have played in Europe so I will bring my experience to help the young players in this team." Kanamori joins ALM champions City from Japanese club Avispa Fukuoka, where he made 309 appearances and scored 40 goals across two stints in the J2 and J1 Leagues. He won the Asian Champions League and the Japanese Super Cup with Kashima Antlers, while also having a stint at Sagan Tosu. "I'll do my best, putting all the experience I've gained so far into this project, aiming to not only win the championship for the second time in a row, but also to win the ACL together," he said. City will hope Kanamori can spark their attack in their title defence, especially after star winger Marco Tilio departed at season's end. Sydney FC captain Rhyan Grant, meanwhile, has extended his contract until the end of the 2026-27 season.

Restore right to walk or face the law, Juhu residents warn BMC
Mumbai: Residents of the Gulmohar Area Societies Welfare Group, an advanced locality management (ALM) in Juhu, have accused the BMC of turning their neighbourhood into a "no-walk zone". They cite unchecked encroachments, solid waste lying on the road, debris piling on footpaths, illegal ramps built by high-rises on public footpaths, and unauthorised parking. In a meeting held with the assistant municipal commissioner of K West Ward, Chakrapani Alle, on August 1, facilitated by local MLA Ameet Satam (BJP), the ALM members said that despite repeated complaints, footpaths remain blocked. This makes even short walks, such as from homes to nearby parks, difficult and unsafe. Architect Samarth Das documented the issues through a series of photographs, which the ALM presented to the BMC during their meeting on Friday. He said, "If an area like Juhu can't ensure walkability, what hope do other parts of the city have? We have given the BMC a one-month deadline to take visible steps to restore pedestrian access. (Otherwise) we will be forced to take legal action." Ashoke Pandit, chairman of the group, said, "We are not asking for anything extraordinary. As tax-paying citizens, we want the BMC to only fulfil its obligatory duty of ensuring we have unencroached roads. Instead, the situation has become so deplorable that we are seeing garages come up overnight on footpaths."

Mumbai civic body rolls out Rs 71cr Powai Lake clean-up tender work
Mumbai: Mumbai: Following repeated demands from concerned citizens and environmentalists, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) allotted the civil work on diverting the sewer water flow from Powai Lake and floated a tender for setting up a treatment plant near the site at a cost of over Rs 71 crore. Members of the BMC-appointed Advanced Locality Management Committee and NatConnect Foundation launched a joint campaign focusing attention on the deterioration of Powai Lake due to the direct inflow of untreated waste of 18 million litres a day. "The BMC officials have now met the Powai residents and informed us that the tender process of diverting the sewer line has been launched. This is good news for the lake,"said Pamela Cheema of the Save Powai Lake group.

The lake, with abundant biodiversity has been covered with hyacinth, which the BMC failed to check despite a National Green Tribunal (NGT) order, following which the public awareness campaign was launched addressing the chief minister and BMC commissioner. "We are happy that commissioner Bhushan Gagrani has directed his team led by additional commissioner Abhijit Bangar, and the process of tender work to divert the sewer away from the lake has started," said NatConnect director B N Kumar. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure your family's future! ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo The work on laying sewer pipelines was allotted to Swastik Constructions following an e-tender, papers given to ALM members at a meeting at S Ward on Friday. Stating that better late than never, ALM Chairperson Pamela Cheema remarked that the people of Powai are anxiously awaiting the speedy execution of the lake clean-up. The work is slated to start on July 21 with an 18-month deadline. In a related development, the civic body floated an e-tender for Rs 68.88 crore STP at Powai. The bids were to be opened on June 30, and details are awaited, said Milan Bhatt, an ALM member. BMC, meanwhile, commissioned harvester machines to clear the hyacinth following public pressure. But this measure proved to be grossly inadequate as the vegetation grew rapidly due to the continuous draining of sewer, NatConnect said. The end-to-end hyacinth sheet over the lake prevents the sun rays from penetrating the lake, thus badly impacting aquatic life. Meanwhile, NatConnect has taken up the dire state of Powai Lake with the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MOEFCC), which in turn asked the state environment director to take necessary action.
