There are so many things We love about our Goregaon and still there are a few remaining which demand solutions / action
Aarey colony : Aarey Milk colony ( Asia's biggest Milk scheme ) the Paradise / the only green-belt of Goregaon , comprises Filmcity ( Whistling Woods ) , NewZealand Hostel , Picnic Point ,Observation Post ( Chhota Kashmir ) , Aarey boat-club , Aarey Bhaskar Uddyan , Indira Gandhi Institute of research & development
Problems :1. As this Aarey- road connects Goregaon to Andheri , Powai ( IIT / Hiranandani ) , Mulund etc , it's always traffic-jammed , resulting in worn-out / deteriorating / pot-holed condition.
2. Early morning joggers / walkers ( especially senior citizens / ladies ) face lots of pollution / vehicular traffic on this serene road as there are not any footpaths / joggers park .
3. The greenery of Aarey - Goregaon is under severe threat by large-scale tree-cutting through redevelopment activities such as building of malls / residential towers / Coporate houses etc. There's also a big problem of unauthorised slums , occupying the govt. land
General problems : 1. Outside Goregaon railway station( East ) , the juice-vendors are a big menace . They crowd / dirty / pollute the place with their illegal selling of unhygienic juices.
2. The Umiyanagar road needs concreting as it has the tallest MHada building , Vakratunda Business Park , Eco-House as well as residential complexes
3. Hawkers outside Goregaon (West ) railway station make it hard for the daily commuters to navigate through & from station
4. Most of the residents in Goregaon ( East ) get 24-hours water supply but Some areas in Goregaon (west ) face water shortage
5. In the Downpouring rains , it's usual for Motilal Nagar ( goregaon - west ) to live in life-size Swimming pool.
6. The cattle-market near Goregaon railway station - east is shut-down , but we must have vegetable - market in that place
7. We have many cinema-theatres in the malls but We don't have a single Drama-theatre . We want it .
8. Getting / Hiring Auto-rickshaw from Goregaon- station to our homes / offices is horrible / rare
9.. Government's control on school fees : Education is every child's human right. The school are not profit making pvt. ltd. companies. There should be a limit on the fees charged by certain elitist schools ( VIBGYOR HIGH in goregaon-west )
10 . In Goregaon West , we have Prabodhan - Kreedabhavan , Prabodhan Library , Prabodhan - Ozone Swimming Pool , Meenatai Thackeray blood bank.In Goregaon ( east ) too , we want such kind of facilities / amenities
We Goregaonkar are progressive / hardworking / fun-loving / co-operative citizens of Mumbai . We want development in the forms of Malls / BPOs
/ Corporate business parks . But not at the cost of our Ozone-layer . We don't want to sacrifice or Greenland ( Aarey colony )
