Within days of two young girls losing their lives in Jogila Lake, officials from the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) are facing mounting criticism over lapses in safety. Rahul Pingale, the City District Congress President, recently scrutinized the civic administration's response to the incident. Pingale, along with social activist Sandeep Khambe, Block President Pravin Khairaliya, and residents, toured the lake area to assess the scene.
The group highlighted the absence of protective railings, security personnel, and preventive measures designed to keep children away from the water.
Pingale criticized the administration for prioritizing aesthetic improvements, yet neglecting critical safety measures. He questioned why authorities did not proactively implement safeguards, especially considering the easy access point the lake presents for young children. The Congress party has presented a list of demands: seeking criminal liability against those accountable, providing immediate monetary compensation to the affected families, and enforcing 24-hour security, CCTV installation, and temporary barriers around Jogila Lake within 24 hours.
Pingale warned that should these demands remain unmet, the Thane Congress unit will escalate its agitation.
