Navi Mumbai reports 20 Covid cases in a week; civic body steps up vigil
NAVI MUMBAI: With 20 Covid-19 cases reported in the past week, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has stepped up preventive measures to curb any potential surge. The civic body has assured residents that there is no cause for panic, as systems are in place to ensure timely detection and effective response. According to officials, 87 tests have been conducted so far — 85 RT-PCR and two Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs). While four positive cases were detected on Wednesday, one more was reported on Thursday, taking the week's tally to 20. Of these, three patients have already recovered, officials confirmed. Rapid Antigen Tests are quick diagnostic tools that detect specific proteins from the virus, offering results within 15 to 30 minutes. Though less sensitive than RT-PCR tests, they are useful for mass screening and immediate results. Municipal Commissioner Kailas Shinde held a high-level review meeting with senior health officials to assess the situation and reinforce preparedness. 'I have directed health teams to ramp up both RT-PCR and Rapid Antigen testing,' said Shinde. 'We are ensuring adequate stock of essential medicines, PPE kits, surgical supplies, oxygen, and oxygen beds. Five beds have been reserved in each of the civic-run hospitals in Vashi, Airoli, and Nerul.' All medical and paramedical staff have been placed on alert, with specific responsibilities assigned to ensure coordinated action. Shinde further appealed to residents to remain calm and vigilant. 'The NMMC is fully equipped to manage the current situation. Citizens must continue to maintain personal hygiene and seek medical attention immediately if they experience symptoms like cold, cough, or fever,' he said.

Sex in Navi Mumbai bus: Couple traced, fined by court
Navi Mumbai: A young couple who were caught on camera having sex in the back row of a fairly empty civic-run AC bus in Navi Mumbai last month were recently traced and fined Rs 2,000 each by a local court. They expressed remorse in court. The video had prompted the civic body to suspend the bus conductor for not being alert and failing to take action against the couple. He was later reinstated. The clip was shot by a motorist who spotted the couple—a delivery agent and a medical laboratory assistant—from a window of the bus. The conductor was said to have been seated in the front, along with a few passengers, and, therefore, didn't spot them. After Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation's transport wing filed a complaint at Kamothe police station, an FIR was lodged under Section 296 of BNS and Sections 110 and 117 of Maharashtra Police Act for obscenity in public and the couple were traced based on the video, said police inspector Prashant Tayade.

Women from self-help groups to distribute property tax bills in Navi Mumbai
Navi Mumbai: Starting May 23, 2025, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation commenced home delivery of property tax bills for the financial year 2025-26 and the collection of information about property holders. This initiative utilises women from registered self-help groups in the city and is part of the women empowerment programme of the civic body. The civic administration issued temporary identification cards to these women representatives, who will visit the homes of property tax holders for timely delivery of tax bills. They will cover around 3.5 lakh homes every month. Municipal commissioner and administrator Kailas Shinde has instructed that these women should receive unhindered entry to all residences in private and govt societies, colonies, and housing complexes. Property owners or tenants are requested to provide complete and accurate details, including the owner's full name, active mobile number, and email address, to these representatives for digital record-keeping, said Shinde. The appointed women from registered self-help groups will serve as part-time municipal corporation representatives, handling both bill distribution and information collection from property holders. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The corporation requests full support for these representatives in carrying out their duties without any hassles. Earlier, residents complained about the non-delivery of property tax bills on time, leading to delays in payment and inviting late payment charges. "Our experience in getting the bills was bad, and we hope to receive timely bills through the women's groups," said a resident, Kiran Patil. Property owners or their tenants need to furnish the owner's complete name, current mobile number, and email address to the self-help group members. This data will be integrated into the Property Tax Department's digital system, enabling future tax bills, notices, and payment reminders to be sent directly to mobile devices. Citizens are urged to extend courteous treatment to these women representatives. The Municipal Corporation implemented online payment collection systems, allowing property owners to complete transactions from home without visiting municipal offices. Shinde appeals to citizens to support this digitalisation initiative by providing necessary information to the self-help group representatives, enabling improved service delivery to residents.

Pay property tax by June 30 & get 10% discount: Navi Mumbai civic body
NAVI MUMBAI : After collecting a record Rs 826 crore in property tax in 2024-25 and setting an ambitious target of Rs 1,200 crore for the 2025-26 fiscal, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) announced a 10% 'Early Bird' discount on general tax for property owners who pay their 2025-26 bills by June 30. NMMC commissioner Kailas Shinde said the 2025-26 property tax bills are now accessible online. Among the other initiatives to encourage timely tax payments and boost civic revenue is the implementation of a single annual bill distribution system from 2025-26, replacing the earlier practice of distributing bills twice a year. NMMC has also upgraded the online payment system and roped in women from self-help groups to handle the physical bill distribution. "Property tax bills for 2025-26 can now be accessed through www(dot)nmmc(dot)gov(dot)in and the 'MY NMMC - My Navi Mumbai' app. A 10% discount on general tax awaits those who settle their bills by June 30, 2025," said Shinde. "Previously, the corporation distributed bills twice annually to over 3.5 lakh property owners. Limited staff caused delays in distribution and tax collection. Hence, I have instructed swift distribution with additional personnel, implementing a single annual distribution system. The property tax department has recruited women from self-help groups to ensure prompt bill distribution and inform residents about tax concession schemes. Residents are advised to share their mobile phone numbers and email addresses with these representatives for property linking and SMS alerts. Citizens can also complete this procedure independently via www(dot)nmmc(dot)gov(dot)in. The Bharat Bill Payment System supports various payment options, including online banking, UPI, cards, and mobile wallets. Payments through the municipal website and app provide instant receipts, an NMMC official confirmed. NMMC now offers straightforward property tax payments both manually and online with annual billing. Speaking about the reforms in property tax collection and encouraging public cooperation, Shinde said: "This year, many important decisions were taken to make property tax collection more dynamic and citizen-friendly. The new system of 'One Year, One Bill', linking KYC to tax bills, online availability of property tax bills, effective use of digital methods of tax payment, and participation of women from self-help groups in bill distribution will not only make the tax collection system easier for citizens, but also provide planning and speed to tax collection."
