NCP seeks funds to fast track court building work in Mira Rd
The local NCP unit has asked the government authorities to pump funds amounting Rs. 9.5 crore so that lingering court building work is fast tracked in Mira Road. More than seven years after the government gave its nod for setting up the First Class Judicial Magistrate and Civil Judge (junior division) court to address legal issues, the structure stands tall in the Hatkesh area. However it still awaits completion and final touches including, interiors, furniture, fixture, electrical and other residual work for the past more than a year.
A delegation of NCP leaders led by former municipal corporator- Dr. Asif Shaikh met deputy chief ministerAjit Pawar seeking his intervention towards the com
pletion of the much needed judicial facility.
Scores of litigants from the region are forced to travel all the way to Thane to attend civil and criminal cases. Moreover, policemen are also compelled to drive through the busy roads and highways with suspects and accused to produce them before the court. “This court will not only save time and money of litigants, but will also ease pressure on the police, ” said Dr. Shaikh.
