Monsoon special Rs.3 Vada Pav Tea Rs.2

10:57 AM Posted by ukmad



Inflation has gone negative but the prices of food items have risen above expectations. Vegetables are now at an all time high. 

With all this behind, the Pop in restaurant near Military Mahadev has started this Monsoon special offer. Vada Pav for Rs.3 and Tea for Rs.2.

A make shift stall has been erected just at the corner of the Kagal cross on Congress road. The stall is very picturesquely situated as there is the pond of water which is full now in the back ground and coconut trees on one side. This offer is catching up on passersby and day one there was not much response but now there is good response to the offer. The same is also very visible from the numbers of vehicles seen in the photo. The Vada pav stall runs from early morning to late evenings and is catching up with the passing crowd.


I could not go to taste the same, but many of you can do and let us all know about the taste as well. Happy eating.

Open spaces face land mafia scare

5:34 PM Posted by ukmad

Land mafia along with some officials is making gratuitous use of their powers to grab the open spaces of land all over the city. The DC has ordered all the authorities like the Sub Registrar, Corporation, Tashildar and other offices not to register any such transfer of land.

 Shridhar alias Nyanesh Saraf has submitted to the DC the complete list of open spaces in the city with all details and has urged the authorities to see that the land is not grabbed by the land mafia and put to use for what it has been reserved.

 Nyanesh Saraf has categorically illustrated the various plots which are open spaces and reserved for parks, playgrounds, Women hostel, gardens etc. Nyanesh Saraf has appealed to the authorities not to accept any transfer of rights to the above properties. The DC has hence ordered not to register any such transfer without proper scrutiny. 

Nyanesh Saraf has also sought police protection for himself as he fears of an attack on his life. He said, my life is danger and I need police protection.

 Mr.Tinaikar who uprooted the Telgi stamp paper scam has been given round the clock police protection for his expose of the whole scam. Nyanesh Saraf has sighted similar protection for him as well.

3 shops looted on Deshmukh Road

6:57 PM Posted by ukmad


By AAB associate friend Vinod-

 3 shops were looted on Deshmukh road on early hours of Thursday July 9. One Kirana shop, one hair cutting saloon and Camp Purohit sweet shop were looted by robbers.

 What the robbers took from the hair cutting saloon was not known but cash around 15 thousand and foreign chocolates were looted from Purohit sweet shop.

 The Police station is just 2 streets away but still the loot happened and still nothing is known about it. Recently the police authorities said that the media should always not show the bad side of the police but show the good side as well. But we hardly get a chance for the latter, do we.
