After 26th July catastrophe,
people of Thane are affected a lot.
There’s an urgent need to address major issues of Thane people. So, I proposed to meet Mr. Torat, Asst.
Commissioner. He informed that certain
staff of TMC was working day and night to distribute medicines to the affected
people. He promised to take effective

distinctive image of “Thane City”. Mr.
Torat informed about various steps taken by the TMC to resolve certain issues.
