Belapur ‘Hanging Gardens’ to be inaugurated today
The much awaited garden on top of Parsik Hill in Belapur (Navi Mumbai) will finally be thrown open to the public on Wednesday, June 17. This garden is spread across a generous 4,000-sq mt expanse built on top of a new water reservoir on the hill. It will be inaugurated by NCP chief Sharad Pawar.
Offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire satellite city, the garden is already being referred to as the ‘Hanging Gardens of Navi Mumbai’. With Navi Mumbai slowly becoming a concrete jungle, the garden is surely going be a welcome change. There are also planns to set up telescopes along the periphery of the garden.
According to the city engineer of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC), Mohan Dagaonkar, the reservoir below the garden is part of the Kalamboli-Digha pipeline project, which was undertaken by the NMMC along with Pratibha Industries to ensure an uninterrupted supply of water to the city. This spot was chosen because it is one of the highest in the city. The water that will be brought here from Morbe Dam will be transported through the new pipes mostly by gravity, thus saving a lot of electricity. The water tank will handle nearly 32 million litres of water every day, and will supply the same to various parts of the city.
According to the developer of the garden, it will have drooping creepers and a waterfall, which will add to its beauty. Apart from the high vantage point, from where we will get a lovely view of the city, the garden will be useful for morning walkers and fitness buffs.

Thane Guardian Minister Ganesh Naik as the NCP candidate for the Balapur constituency
The Belapur seat fell in NCP’s kitty as the Congress leaders had no credibility and credentials to impress the high commands in terms of voters or work done in comparison to Thane Guardian Minister Ganesh Naik. Even if one were to go by numbers in the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation ,the NCP has 31 seats while the Congress has just 4. Sanjeev Naik has a lead of over 19000 votes in Belapur against his nearest Shiv Sena rival Vijay Chougule and over 14000 votes in Airoli. However, Vishwarath Nayar feels in assembly elections that both Belapur and Airoli seats are equally tough and equally easy. And what about the independents? They won’t play any decisive role in the electoral results says Vishwarath Nayar. In both the seats, it is going to be the ability as a leader, work done factor and promises in the future .
