Mumbai Set for Massive Underground Tunnel Revolution; CM Fadnavis Announces ‘Pathal Lok’ Vision to Transform City Traffic by 2032

Mumbai Set for Massive Underground Tunnel Revolution; CM Fadnavis Announces ‘Pathal Lok’ Vision to Transform City Traffic by 2032

November 24, 2025
Mumbai Set for Massive Underground Tunnel Revolution; CM Fadnavis Announces ‘Pathal Lok’ Vision to Transform City Traffic by 2032 Undercover Editor – Editor- Mahesh Rathod. Mumbai is preparing for one of its most ambitious infrastructure overhauls in recent history — a sprawling underground tunnel network aimed at eliminating the city’s crippling traffic congestion. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday announced that the government is creating a “Pathal Lok” — a comprehensive, underground mobility grid — that will change the way Mumbai moves in the next decade. Addressing thousands of youth at an event held at the Dome Arena in Worli, Fadnavis said the vision is to ensure that Mumbai’s average traffic speed reaches 80 kmph within the next seven years, a dramatic jump from the current 15–20 kmph gridlock experienced during peak hours. Western Express Highway: The Core of Mumbai’s Traffic Burden The Chief Minister highlighted that nearly 60% of Mumbai’s total road traffic burden falls solely on the Western Express Highway (WEH). “Unless the Western Express Highway is decongested, traffic in Mumbai cannot be fully resolved,” Fadnavis said, underscoring the need for alternative high-speed travel corridors. New Tunnels to Connect Bandra Sea Link, BKC and the Mumbai Airport A major highlight of the government’s “Pathal Lok” blueprint includes a tunnel originating from the Bandra Sea Link, offering two critical high-speed connections: These tunnels intend to divert the traffic load away from core arterial roads, reduce surface congestion and cut airport travel time drastically. “Our aim is to decongest BKC and ensure that citizens reach the airport in the minimum possible time,” Fadnavis added. Target Year 2032: “All Projects Will Be Delivered” When asked by attendees whether these infrastructural dreams will materialize, Fadnavis offered a clear assurance: “All the promises we have made, and all the projects we have started to decongest Mumbai, will be completed by 2032.” This includes tunnel networks, road realignments, decongestion projects, and mobility reforms. Local Trains to Become Metro-Like With Close-Door Coaches Fadnavis also announced a major shift in Mumbai’s suburban railway system: All local trains will gradually adopt close-door rakes, currently used only in select AC locals. “Train services will be like the metro — safer, faster, and more efficient — and without any hike in ticket fares,” he promised. This is expected to reduce accidents, improve punctuality, and modernize the century-old suburban rail experience. BJP to Prioritize Youth in Upcoming Civic Elections Speaking on political participation, the CM emphasized that the BJP will introduce new, young candidates in the upcoming municipal elections. “I can’t comment on other parties, but for the BJP, people will certainly witness new and young faces getting party tickets,” he said, encouraging youth to step forward and participate in governance. “Zero Corruption Under Modi Government” — Fadnavis Responding to a question on corruption, Fadnavis strongly defended the Central Government. “In the last 11 years, not a single charge of corruption has been levelled against Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” he stated. He contrasted this with pre-2014 governments that faced multiple corruption allegations and instability. “Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi ji, people are witnessing a stable and corruption-free government.” A Transformative Vision for Mumbai’s Next Decade With underground tunnels, metro-style trains, and new mobility corridors, the government claims that Mumbai will enter a new era of fast, reliable transportation. However, experts and citizens alike will be watching closely to see how efficiently these promises are executed over the next seven years. For now, the vision of “Pathal Lok” — a city beneath the city — has captured the imagination of a traffic-weary Mumbai.

“You Have Votes, I Have Funds”: Ajit Pawar’s Remark Sparks Major Political Storm in Maharashtra

“You Have Votes, I Have Funds”: Ajit Pawar’s Remark Sparks Major Political Storm in Maharashtra

November 22, 2025
“You Have Votes, I Have Funds”: Ajit Pawar’s Remark Sparks Major Political Storm in Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar addresses a campaign rally in Malegaon, where his remark linking public funds to electoral support sparked sharp political reactions. UnderCover Editor NewsEditor – Mahesh Rathod Mumbai / Malegaon: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has triggered a fresh controversy after openly telling voters in Malegaon that while “they have votes,” he “has funds,” and that financial support would flow only if all candidates of his faction of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) were elected. The remarks, made during a campaign speech for the upcoming Malegaon Nagar Panchayat elections, have drawn widespread criticism and raised questions about political pressure, voter influence and ethical conduct during elections. Ajit Pawar’s Statement Raises Eyebrows Addressing a public gathering, Pawar said: “I will ensure there is no shortage of funds if you elect all 18 NCP candidates. If you reject, I will also reject. You have votes, I have funds.” The statement implied that government funding and development work could be withheld if voters did not support NCP candidates—a claim opposition parties say violates democratic principles and amounts to intimidation. Pawar currently handles Maharashtra’s finance portfolio in the BJP–NCP–Shiv Sena alliance government, giving his comments even greater political weight. Opposition Slams Pawar: ‘Threat to Democracy’ The statement immediately drew sharp reactions from the opposition. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Ambadas Danve accused Pawar of threatening voters and misusing his authority. Danve said: “Funds come from taxpayers, not from Ajit Pawar’s personal pocket. If a minister threatens voters like this, what is the Election Commission doing?” Opposition leaders claim Pawar’s comments amount to coercion and violate the Model Code of Conduct, even though civic elections are not directly governed by the same framework as state or national polls. Political Context: Malegaon Civic Polls on December 2 The Pawar-led NCP has partnered with a BJP-backed panel for the December 2 Malegaon Nagar Panchayat elections. Malegaon—known for closely contested political battles—has 18 NCP candidates in the fray. Pawar’s comments were aimed at consolidating votes for the entire panel, but critics say the tone crossed the line into political pressure. ECI’s Silence Questioned Several opposition voices have demanded that the Election Commission of India (ECI) take note of Pawar’s remarks, calling for investigation or censure. Legal experts suggest that any attempt to link government funds with electoral outcomes could fall under undue influence, a punishable offence under the Representation of the People Act, 1951. What Happens Next? While Ajit Pawar has not clarified or withdrawn his remarks, political observers believe the issue may escalate further in the coming days. With civic elections just days away, the controversy has added a new dimension to the campaign—putting the spotlight on the ethics of political speech and the fine line between promises and pressure. UnderCover Editor News will continue tracking this high-voltage political episode.

🔥 Mumbai: Major Fire Erupts in Dharavi; Train Services Between Mahim & Bandra Halted

November 22, 2025
🔥 Mumbai: Major Fire Erupts in Dharavi; Train Services Between Mahim & Bandra Halted Fire brigade teams battle a Level-II blaze at Navrang Compound, Dharavi, as smoke forces Western Railway to halt train movement between Mahim and Bandra. UnderCover Editor News | Editor – Mahesh Rathod Mumbai witnessed yet another infrastructural emergency on Saturday afternoon when a Level-II fire broke out at the Navrang Compound near Mahim Fatak, close to the Sion–Mahim Link Road in Dharavi. The incident triggered a massive response from fire officials and caused significant disruption to Western Railway operations. Fire Started in Hutment Structure; Cause Unknown According to the Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB), the first call was received at 12:29 pm. The blaze originated inside a ground-plus-one hutment located near the railway phatak and Noor Restaurant at 60-Feet Road. Within minutes, smoke engulfed the area, prompting the dispatch of engines from Dadar, BKC, Bandra, and Shivaji Park fire stations. Police teams, 108 ambulance services, and ward-level staff also reached the spot as precautionary deployment. At 1:18 pm, the fire was officially escalated to Level-II, indicating a more serious and resource-intensive firefighting operation. Officials confirmed that no injuries have been reported so far, but the cause of the fire is still under investigation. Train Services Thrown Out of Gear The fire’s close proximity to tracks forced Western Railway to halt multiple train services between Mahim and Bandra, leading to cascading delays across the suburban network. A Western Railway spokesperson confirmed: “Five trains have been regulated and are currently waiting between Mahim and Bandra stations. No injuries have been reported.” Harbour Line services towards CSMT were also suspended from 12:43 pm, intensifying travel disruptions during the busy afternoon period. Road Traffic Also Affected Road movement along 60-Feet Road slowed down as fire engines, rescue vans, and police barricades occupied the stretch. Local residents and shopkeepers gathered outside as thick smoke hovered above the hutments. Fire brigade officials said the priority is to completely douse the flames and prevent them from spreading to nearby structures, especially given the congestion of the area. Authorities Monitoring Situation As firefighting operations continue, senior officials from the fire brigade and Western Railway remain on site to assess further risks and coordinate emergency measures. More updates are expected as the situation develops.

By: UnderCover Editor News | Editor – Mahesh Rathod Mumbai: The investigation into the chilling broad-daylight shooting of Kandivali-based real-estate agent Freddy D’Lima has gained major momentum after CCTV footage surfaced, clearly capturing the exact moments leading up to the attack. The Charkop Police have arrested 34-year-old Munna Mayuddin Shaikh, believed to be the mastermind who coordinated the hit, while three armed assailants remain on the run. CCTV Footage Reveals the Attack Second-by-Second The CCTV clip, now the most crucial piece of evidence in the case, shows Freddy D’Lima stepping out of a gate with a friend and walking toward a parked car. Within seconds, a man—identified as one of the shooters—moves swiftly toward Freddy and fires two shots from extremely close range. The attacker immediately bolted, while his two accomplices waited on a motorcycle a short distance away. Police said the trio had been circling the area for several minutes, tracking Freddy’s movements and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Investigators are now using CCTV footage from surrounding lanes to trace the killers’ escape route in Charkop and Kandivali West. How the Attack Unfolded The firing took place around 2 pm on Wednesday, near Father Susai School in Charkop Sector 3. Freddy, 42, had just stepped out of a friend’s shop and was heading toward his car when the triple-seat motorcycle approached. The shooter, wearing a helmet to hide his identity, fired twice before the bike accelerated away at high speed. Local residents immediately rushed Freddy to Oscar Hospital, where doctors performed emergency surgery and removed both bullets. As of now, he remains unconscious and under intensive care. Mastermind Arrested – Motive Still a Mystery Police say the arrested accused, Munna Shaikh, is the key conspirator who coordinated the operation. However, officers admit the motive remains unclear. The three shooters have not yet been identified. “Shaikh’s interrogation will help us trace the attackers and determine why Freddy D’Lima was targeted,” an investigating officer said. Senior officials, including DCP Zone XI Sandeep Jadhav, visited the crime scene and reviewed the investigation progress The weapon used—suspected to be a country-made revolver—has not yet been recovered. Full-Scale Manhunt Launched Multiple police teams are verifying: Authorities say they are confident the attackers will be traced soon.

Influencer ‘Orry’ Summoned by Mumbai Police in ₹252-Crore Drug Case; Accused ‘Lavish’ Claims Rave Parties for Bollywood Celebs

November 20, 2025
Influencer ‘Orry’ Summoned by Mumbai Police in ₹252-Crore Drug Case; Accused ‘Lavish’ Claims Rave Parties for Bollywood Celebs Mumbai Police ANC summons influencer Orry for questioning in the ₹252-crore drug racket after accused ‘Lavish’ reveals details of rave parties linked to Bollywood circles. Mumbai | UnderCover Editor NewsEditor – Mahesh Rathod In a major breakthrough in the ₹252-crore drug manufacturing and trafficking case, the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) of Mumbai Police has summoned popular social media influencer Orry (Orhan Awatramani) for questioning. The summons follows explosive disclosures by arrested drug supplier Mohammed Salim Sohail Shaikh, alias Lavish, who has emerged as a crucial link in the multi-state narcotics network. ‘Lavish’ deported from Dubai; alleges participation of Bollywood celebrities Shaikh, recently deported from Dubai for his suspected involvement in the massive mephedrone seizure in Sangli in March 2024, reportedly told investigators that he organised high-profile rave parties in India and overseas, claiming that several Bollywood celebrities attended these events. According to police, Shaikh had been staying in Dubai for the past three years and was allegedly coordinating raw material procurement, supply chains, and financial movements for drug manufacturing units across Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Rajasthan. ₹252-crore mephedrone racket under probe Officials believe Shaikh was connected to the illegal drug production units dismantled in the Sangli raid. The seized mephedrone, financial trails, and associated transactions are valued at nearly ₹252 crore, making it one of the largest busts in Maharashtra in recent years. The ANC is now widening the investigation, scrutinising digital evidence, money trails, and communication networks linked to the accused. Orry summoned for routine questioning, say police Authorities stress that the summons to Orry does not imply guilt, but is part of the ongoing process to question individuals named during interrogation. Orry will be required to clarify his connection, if any, with the accused or the activities mentioned by Shaikh. More high-profile names likely to come under ANC scrutiny Sources suggest that as investigators analyse electronic devices, chats, travel histories, and financial data, more notable personalities could be questioned. Officials say that additional summons may be issued as the probe progresses.
Mumbai: ED Arrests Malad Businessman Ushik Gala in ₹998 Crore ‘Need to Feed’ Money Laundering Case

Mumbai: ED Arrests Malad Businessman Ushik Gala in ₹998 Crore ‘Need to Feed’ Money Laundering Case

November 19, 2025
Mumbai: ED Arrests Malad Businessman Ushik Gala in ₹998 Crore ‘Need to Feed’ Money Laundering Case Undercover Editor News | Mumbai In a major crackdown on financial fraud linked to a Haryana government welfare programme, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday arrested Malad-based businessman Ushik Gala, associated with Suumaya Industries, for allegedly laundering ₹998 crore under the ‘Need to Feed’ scheme. Investigators say the massive fund diversion was masked through fake agricultural transactions, shell companies and circular layering of money. Gala, who is also facing allegations in a ₹117 crore investor cheating case, has been remanded to ED custody till November 24 by the court. Complaint Triggered ED Action According to ED prosecutor Arvind Aghav, Gala’s arrest stems from a money-laundering case based on a cheating FIR filed at Worli Police Station by investor Vinay Kumar Agrawal. Agrawal alleged that Suumaya Industries lured him into investing by showcasing a fictitious PPE and CSR contract worth ₹7,000 crore, supposedly sanctioned under Haryana’s ‘Need to Feed’ programme through Dentsu Communications India Pvt Ltd. Based on these “assurances” and what investigators describe as a “fabricated financial picture,” Agrawal invested heavily and later suffered losses amounting to ₹117 crore. How the Alleged Laundering Worked The ED investigation has uncovered a large-scale, complex financial web: 1. Creation of a Special Company Capalpha Trade Pvt Ltd (CTPL) was incorporated in February 2021, allegedly with the sole purpose of financing the ‘Need to Feed’ project. 2. Funds Passed Through Suumaya Group 3. Diversion to Shell Firms 4. Circular Movement of Money Financial Spike Raised Red Flags The ED noted an extraordinary and suspicious rise in Suumaya Industries’ financial statements: In FY 2021–22 alone, the company’s agri-produce segment contributed over 95% of total revenues, touching an enormous ₹12,270 crore — a jump investigators believe was artificially inflated. What’s Next? With Gala now in custody, ED is expected to confront him with evidence regarding: The arrest marks one of the most significant developments yet in the ‘Need to Feed’ money laundering probe, with ED officials indicating more arrests and deeper financial scrutiny are likely.
Mumbai: Special MP & MLA Court Frames Money Laundering Charges Against NCP Leader Nawab Malik

Mumbai: Special MP & MLA Court Frames Money Laundering Charges Against NCP Leader Nawab Malik

November 18, 2025
Mumbai: Special MP & MLA Court Frames Money Laundering Charges Against NCP Leader Nawab Malik NCP leader Nawab Malik arrives at court as the Special MP & MLA Court frames money laundering charges in the Kurla land case linked to D-Company associates. Court Rejects Discharge Plea; Malik, Family Firms & 1993 Blast Convict Sardar Khan to Face Trial for Alleged Links With D-Company Mumbai | Undercover Editor News: In a significant development, the Special MP & MLA Court in Mumbai on Tuesday formally framed money laundering charges against senior NCP leader Nawab Malik, his family-owned companies Malik Infrastructure and Solidus Investments, and 1993 blast convict Sardar Khan. Malik pleaded not guilty, paving the way for a full-fledged trial in the long-running Enforcement Directorate (ED) case. The order comes days after the court dismissed the discharge pleas filed by Malik and his companies, observing that the investigative material prima facie showed Malik’s alleged conspiracy with D-Company members Haseena Parkar, Salim Patel, and Sardar Khan to illegally acquire a prime parcel of Kurla land and launder the proceeds generated from it. Court’s Observation: “Clear Evidence of Laundering Usurped Property” While rejecting the discharge plea, the court noted:      “It is evident that Nawab Malik, in connivance with D-Company members — Haseena Parkar, Salim Patel, and accused Sardar Khan — participated in laundering illegally usurped property, which constitutes proceeds of crime.” The court further stated that the rent collected through Solidus Investments and Malik Infrastructure—both controlled by the Malik family—must also be treated as proceeds of crime. The Kurla Land Case: How the Deal Was Structured         According to the prosecution: The agency has also accused Malik Infrastructure of collecting ₹9.60 crore in rent through lease arrangements structured after 2010-11. What ED Says Happened With the Rent What Happens Next With charges framed, the court is set to commence trial proceedings. Malik, who has maintained that the case is politically motivated, will now face detailed scrutiny in court along with the co-accused. This case is among the most high-profile money laundering matters involving a senior Maharashtra politician and D-Company-linked land transactions.
Mumbai CNG Crisis: Autos, Taxis & BEST Buses Hit as Pipeline Damage Halts Supply Across City

Mumbai CNG Crisis: Autos, Taxis & BEST Buses Hit as Pipeline Damage Halts Supply Across City

November 18, 2025
Mumbai CNG Crisis: Autos, Taxis & BEST Buses Hit as Pipeline Damage Halts Supply Across City Commuters wait outside CNG pumps in Mumbai as services stall following a major pipeline disruption at the RCF compound. Undercover Editor News | Report by Mahesh Rathod Mumbai’s daily commute plunged into chaos after a sudden halt in CNG supply left autos, taxis and even BEST buses struggling to operate. The disruption, which began on November 16, was triggered by damage to a GAIL pipeline inside the RCF compound, cutting off gas supply to Mahanagar Gas Limited’s (MGL) City Gate Station in Wadala — the key hub that feeds CNG across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai. Citywide Transport Impact With CNG pumps shutting down or operating with limited pressure, thousands of commuters were left stranded. Autos and taxis queued for hours outside pumps, while BEST announced that several of its CNG buses may remain off-road until supply stabilises. Transport unions warned that if the situation continues, Mumbai could see a major public transport slowdown, especially during peak hours. Why the Crisis Happened According to initial information, a GAIL pipeline was accidentally damaged during internal work inside the Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers (RCF) compound. This disrupted supply to the Wadala station — one of the most critical distribution points for MGL. Repair work has begun, but officials have not yet provided a firm timeline for full restoration. Violence in Malegaon After Child Murder In a separate disturbing incident, Nashik Rural Police arrested a 24-year-old man for the kidnapping, rape and brutal murder of a 3.5-year-old girl near Malegaon. The accused allegedly crushed the child’s head with a stone. As the news spread, shocked residents took to the streets, blocking the Malegaon–Kusumba Road and demanding strict punishment. Case Against Amit Thackeray & 70 Others Meanwhile, Navi Mumbai Police registered a case against Amit Thackeray, son of MNS chief Raj Thackeray, and around 70 supporters. They allegedly forced open the covering of a Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue during an event, leading to crowd unrest and police intervention. Mumbai Faces a Tough Commuting Day With the CNG supply still unstable, commuters are advised to plan travel in advance, expect delays, and rely on available bus and train services until normal supply resumes.
