Residents of BDD chawls in Worli will get homes before July: Maharashtra minister
MUMBAI : Residents of the BDD chawls in Mumbai's Worli area will receive keys to their new homes before the upcoming month of Shravan (July), Maharashtra minister Ashish Shelar said on Thursday. Shelar, a senior BJP MLA and guardian minister of Mumbai's suburban district, made the announcement while inspecting the progress of the redevelopment towers being constructed under the first phase of the Worli BDD Chawl Redevelopment Project. "The keys to the new homes will be handed over to the residents of BDD chawls before Shravan," said Shelar at a meeting attended by residents, MHADA Mumbai Board CEO Milind Borikar, civic officials and others. In the two-hour interaction, residents said the new buildings must get adequate water, after which Shelar directed MHADA officials to ensure water lines are installed keeping in mind the number of people living in these towers. He also asked officials to make temporary parking arrangements by demolishing two adjoining old buildings, as one of the planned parking towers remains incomplete. MHADA agreed to the suggestion, with Borikar informing that parking spaces will be allotted through a lottery system. "The keys will be handed over before Shravan. Piped gas and other basic amenities will also be made available before possession," Borikar added.

Role in Operation Sindoor: 10-year-old Shravan honoured as youngest civil warrior
Ferozepur: In a heartening display of patriotism, 10-year-old Shravan Singh from Mamdot village in Punjab's Ferozepur district has been recognised by the Indian Army as the 'Youngest Civil Warrior' during Operation Sindoor. Amidst the operation, Shravan selflessly provided soldiers with water, tea, milk, lassi, and ice, offering comfort and support. His dedication towards Indian Army and bond with the troops earned him a special felicitation by Major General Ranjeet Singh Manral, GOC of the 7 Infantry Division. Sharvan's father, Sona Singh, told PTC News, 'The soldiers were stationed on our land, and from the very first day, my son began taking milk, lassi, water, and ice to them. We never stopped him because he found happiness in serving the Army. He kept visiting them regularly, and it made us proud. He now dreams of becoming a soldier one day.' Speaking to the media, Shravan said he enjoyed visiting the Army personnel and providing them with refreshments. 'I want to become a soldier when I grow up and serve the nation,' he said. 'They gave me a special gift, treated me to a special meal, and even gave me ice cream. That made me very happy.' India decimated nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir with precision strikes early on May 7 in response to the dastardly April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Operation Sindoor was not just a military mission, but 'the face of a changing India' that reflects the country's resolve, courage, and growing strength on the global stage. Addressing his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat, the Prime Minister termed Operation Sindoor as a turning point in the global fight against terror and a symbol of India's growing strength and clarity of purpose.
