Activists Seek Waiver Of Panvel Property Tax Penalties, Eco-Tourism Development At Pandavkada · freepressjournal.in

Some people who care about their city went to talk to an important leader named Vikrant Patil.

They gave him a list of problems to fix in their area.

One problem is that people got big property tax bills, and more than half of the money was fines.

They asked the leader to help remove those fines or create a special plan to pay less.

Another problem is a beautiful waterfall called Pandavkada, which is dangerous and has hurt people before.

They want safe spots where visitors can enjoy the waterfall without being in danger.

They also want to stop a bad water plant from spreading in lakes because it can hurt fish and other animals.

Finally, they want train stations to fix their flooded tunnels so people do not have to walk through knee-deep water.

They asked the leader to work with the government to solve these problems quickly.
