Apart from that, to shorten citizen's grievances and civic issues, Thane Municipal Corporation is planning to launch an integrated tracking system where all complaints along with pictures on the civic body's website can be uploaded. Currently, one can send the complaints directly to the TMC Commissioner.

Hi Surinder,
You mean, if there is any issue that is spoiling or ruining the city like garbage pile up, illegal hoardings, encroachments, water supply issues, potholes, etc., we can directly complain to the TMC Commissioner.

Right Samrat,
Apart from that water shortage is the another issues in the localities of thane such as Chandanwadi, Kharkarali, Balkum since the past few weeks. Earlier, TMC has denied water supply to new buildings at Ghodbunder Road putting responsibility on builder to carry out the requirement. Apart from this, villages in Thane district such as Shil and Diva also face similar situation during summer.

Yes Vinu,
Currently, TMC is waiting the sanction of Rs 4.5 crore which would permit the authority to work on water supply plan for existing population. As a matter of fact, even the premium locations are under the effect of water crisis. Residents of Hiranandani Estates, Kanchan Pushp Vijay Vilas and Lok Upvan have also complaint of irregular water supply since past few months.

@Vinu,
Thane is afflict with illegal construction and encroachments. In spite of that, TMC has done all possible things to make people aware about the increasing problem. These areas are Sawarkar Nagar, Kopari, Lokmanya Majiwada, Mumbra-1,Kalwa, Naupada, Vartak Nagar, Rayaladevi, Mumbra-2, Uthalsarand Wagale. It would be wise for any buyer to check with the authority about the building construction before making the transaction.

Good work Supratim,
This will help a lot of new home buyers. For those, considering investment, can contact Thane Municipal Corporation for checking or complaining about the illegal development. Apart from that, TMC has also updated list of dangerous building in Thane.

If you are thinking about transport of Thane. Thane enjoys direct connectivity to Mumbai CST and Bandra-Kurla Complex with one inter-change but travelling to airport remains a problem for residents here. Earlier, the Bombay Electric Supply and Tramways Co. Ltd. started bus services for the airport from the city but services discontinued after some time. Currently, Thane Municipal Transport is operating bus services in the region and it might also cover the airport region if the fleet number is increased.

But poor frequency of buses insisted people to travel by auto which also leads to an endless queue, confusion and traffic among drivers and pedestrians.

In addition to smooth connectivity to major commercial areas of suburban Mumbai and South Mumbai, Thane also offers affordable housing options to its interested investors and buyers. It is a preferred choice amongst home buyers. It is a hub of young buyers with a limited budget.

In spite of the factors mentioned above, Thane has some minus points as well. If you are a buyer looking to invest or an investor considering to buy a property then you should consider the above mentioned factors.

@Sujan,
Currently, Thane has more than 10000 property options. This includes 500 projects in the district expected to be delivered in the next 2 yrs. Currently, property prices ranges between Rs. 3800 to Rs. 22000/sq-ft depending upon the amenities and location.
