Gavtevadi is one of the the most backward places in Navi mumbai. The conditions here make it feel like a jail instead of ward, where thousands of people are forced to live in sub-human conditions. It remains a shamefully neglected area of the city.
This place a population of thousands, but there is only one toilet. As a result people have to wait in line for hours. The water pipe lines run through gutters. The mixing of two waters can put people's lives danger. In a population of thousands only one water tab is there but in that also the water comes in such a low force , people have to wait for hours. Debris and garbage is everywhere.
In today's 21st century, the people of Navi Mumbai city have to walk in the light of mobile phones because there is no electricityin this area. Girls and women fear for their safety. The ward is surrounded by the walls of a company making people feel like they are living in jail. The roads are too small for people for even walk.
It must be noted that, Dhurubai Bijle has worked as corprator in this ward for 5 years, but when I asked people if they have seen their corprators, they gave some shocking replies. They angrily that when elections were their Dhurubai Bijle came to ask for their votes, but after the election she never came here.
The constituents also complain that when somebody dies and we go and ask them to give the death certificate they would always have same answer: Madam has gone to her native place We don’t have any.
The condition and the problems of the people of this area are so severe that the NCP rebel Mukhtaar Ansari compaired Gavtevadi to jail.
It must also be noted that the corprator ward Dhurubai Bijle is the same person who had beaten former corporator Bharat Nakhate with her sandal. After looking at the problems of gavtevadi people are saying, that living here is not a curse it’s a sin.
