Chandivali drafts its manifesto for Mumbai North-Central
candidates
Extract:
The citizen group from Chandivali has taken a
proactive approach by creating a manifesto specifically tailored to address
local issues like air pollution and encroachments.
This unique initiative aims to present their manifesto to
the candidates contesting in the Mumbai North-Central constituency for the
upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
By focusing on grassroots concerns and engaging with the
political process at a local level, the citizens of Chandivali are showcasing
the power of civic engagement and community-driven governance.
This move highlights the importance of a bottom-up approach
in shaping political agendas and influencing decision-making processes.
My Take:

"In the spirit of awakening active citizenship, Chandivali’s
initiative resonates with the call for citizens to rise and demand
accountability from political representatives.
By articulating their specific concerns like air pollution
and encroachments, the citizen group exemplifies the power of collective action
in driving meaningful change.

addressing local issues sets a precedent for participatory democracy. Let's
inspire others to follow suit and drive constructive dialogue with candidates
