ठाणे - शुक्रवारी झालेल्या दहीहंडी उत्सवात ठाण्यातील सर्व महत्त्वाच्या दहीहंडी आयोजकांनी सर्वोच्च न्यायालयाने घालून दिलेल्या आवाजाच्या मर्यादेचे भान ठेवले नसल्याचे आवाज फाऊंडेशन या संस्थेने केलेल्या पाहणीत आढळले. विशेष म्हणजे दहीहंडीत पोलिसांच्या साक्षीने डॉल्बीचा दणदणाट सुरू होता. काही ठिकाणी स्थानिक पोलिसांनी ध्वनिप्रदूषण केल्याबद्दल दहीहंडी आयोजकांवर दरवर्षीप्रमाणे गुन्हे दाखल केले आहेत.
आवाज फाऊंडेशनच्या वतीने यंदाही ठाण्यातील महत्त्वाच्या दहीहंडी उत्सवांतील आवाजाची तीव्रता मोजली. त्यात गेल्या वर्षीपेक्षा कमी ध्वनिप्रदूषण झाल्याचे निरीक्षणही फाऊंडेशनने नोंदवले आहे. रस्त्यावर उत्सव साजरा करताना आवाजाची कमाल मर्यादा 45 डेसिबल इतकी असावी, असे बंधन सर्वोच्च न्यायालयाने घातले आहे. पण राजकीय आयोजक कोणत्याही उत्सवात याचे भान राखत नसल्याचे वारंवार आढळते. आवाजच्या कार्यकर्त्या सुमेरा अब्दुला अली आणि ठाण्यातील नीलेश आंबेकर यांनी शहरातील प्रमुख दहीहंडी उत्सवाच्या दरम्यान आवाजाच्या तीव्रतेचे मोजमाप केले. पाचपाखाडीत संघर्ष संस्थेच्या वतीने आयोजित उत्सवात आवाजाची तीव्रता 81 ते 96 डेसिबल इतकी नोंदविण्यात आली. रात्री 9 च्या सुमारास कार्यकर्त्यांनी टेंभीनाका येथे शिवसेनेने आयोजित केलेल्या उत्सवात आवाजाची पातळी 99 ते 101 डेसिबल इतकी आढळली. आवाजाची सर्वाधिक पातळी आमदार प्रताप सरनाईक यांनी वर्तकनगर येथे आयोजित केलेल्या संस्कृती प्रतिष्ठानच्या उत्सवात होती. या उत्सवात आवाजाची पातळी 101 ते 105 इतकी होती, असे आवाजने अहवालात नमूद केले आहे.
रस्त्यावर साजऱ्या होणाऱ्या उत्सवांच्या संदर्भात आपण दाखल केलेल्या याचिकेवर अद्याप सुनावणी झालेली नाही. परंतु जोपर्यंत उत्सवाबाबत लोकांमध्ये जागृती होत नाही, लोकांना हे पटत नाही तोपर्यंत हे थांबणे अशक्य असल्याचे मत याचिकाकर्ते डॉ. महेश बेडेकर यांनी "सकाळ'शी बोलताना व्यक्त केले.
रस्ते ब्लॉक
ठाणेकरांना या उत्सवात ध्वनिप्रदूषणाचा त्रास सहन करावा लागतो, तसाच रस्त्यात वाहतूक कोंडीचाही त्रास सहन करावा लागतो. संघर्षच्या दहीहंडीमुळे दोन-दोन दिवस रस्ते अडविले गेल्याने रहिवाशांची कोंडी होते. हे उत्सव साजरे होताना ठाणेकरांना वेठीस धरले जाते. या विरोधात आवाज उठविण्यासाठी ठाणेकरांनी एकत्र येण्याची गरज असल्याचे नीलेश आंबेकर यांनी सांगितले. या प्रश्नावर एकत्र येऊ इच्छिणाऱ्या ठाणेकरांनी नीलेश आंबेकर - 9820032772 या क्रमांकावर संपर्क साधावा, असे आवाहन करण्यात आले आहे.

Fight by TMT BACHAO KTUTI SAMITI is PAYING OFF
Please go through the following news article published in DNA dt. 14th July, 2012.
I feel this improvement has taken place because of the FIGHT started by TMT BACHO KRUTI SAMITI .
Also I feel that this has become possible because of efforts from Mr. Devidas Tekale - TMT as well as Mr. Ashok Burpule and co-operation from TMT Employees.
I am of the strong opinion that
Stand up for what is right , Even if you’re standing alone !
Evil Triumphs When Good People Sit Quiet
TMT’s daily revenue up by `1.5 lakh
Deepa Sarna Gawli
The Thane Municipal Transport has started 225 buses in Thane, which have increased its daily revenue by around Rs1.5 lakh. Currently, the TMT has a fleet of 321 buses, which includes the 200 buses received under the JNNURM scheme. Of the total bus fleet, 225 buses, including 15 buses of the contractor, are plying. Previously, only 160 buses were in use. “The daily revenue is increased by around Rs1.50 lakh since the number of buses on road has gone up,” said Devidas Tekale, TMT general manager.
The total daily revenue during the weekdays is around Rs20 lakh, while that on the weekend is around Rs15 lakh.
The TMT is also repairing the buses that are not plying. “As soon as the buses are repaired they will be brought back on the road,” added Tekale. However, commuters have not felt any change. “Though more buses are brought on the road, I can’t see any difference. The frequency and the services remain unchanged,” said Revati Shetty, a resident of Ghodbunder road.
“It is good that the TMT is taking an initiative to increase the bus services. If this remains their approach, then surely there could be improvement,” said Ali Khan, a resident of Lokmanya Nagar. Of the total 321 buses, around 121 were lying idle at the depot for repairs. It was due to the shortage of funds that the repairs could not be done. But after the issue was taken up by the citizens, the mayor has granted funds for the repair of these buses and several are now plying.

TMT Bachao Kruti Samiti to help TMT to improve.
Poor
TMT services irk citizens’ group
TMT has around
400 buses out of which only 180 buses are functional
Deepa Sarna

Irked by the poor
bus services of the Thane Municipal Transport (TMT) and false promises made by
the authorities to improve them, a citizens’ group in Thane has now stepped
forward to take the matter into their own hands.
The members of the group strongly believe that TMT’s existence will be short-lived, considering the outstanding dues of its employees and the buses lined up for repairs at the bus depots.
“We have heard authorities just giving us false hopes, saying that they will improve TMT bus services. But they have hardly done anything. The buses are still awaiting repairs at the depot and also, the employees’ dues are still pending,” said Satyajit Shah, a Thane resident who was among the group of citizens who visited Wagle Estate bus depots to assess the situation.
“The mayor had promised that funds would be provided and soon 30 of the 112 buses lying idle would be made functional. But nothing of that sort has happened. TMT is the lifeline of the city, so we residents have decided to raise our voice against the poor services and lethargic attitude of officials,” added Shah. These residents have informally formed a TMT Bachao Kruti Samiti.
Last month, Thane mayor Harishchandra Patil had met TMT staff to hear their grievances. Patil promised funds of Rs2 crore, of which Rs55 lakh was to be utilised for repairing buses and the rest to clear the outstanding dues of TMT employees. In all, around Rs3.5 crore has been given to TMT. However, the citizens’ group members doubt TMT officials’ claim that around 24 buses have been brought on the roads.
“We have given them around Rs3.5 crore till now to carry out the repairs and make payments to their employees. As the code of conduct is on till July 7 due to the impending MLC (member of legislative council) elections, we cannot provide further help. Only after the code of conduct is lifted will we be in a position to provide financial aid,” said Patil. The mayor also clarified that spare parts of around six buses are awaited and as soon as they are delivered, these buses too would be brought on the roads.
Presently, the TMT has around 400 buses but hardly 180 buses are functional. The TMT ferries over 3 lakh passengers and covers a distance of around 63, 000 kilometres daily.
