Residents in the Vasai-Virar region are finding themselves at the receiving end of a conflict between the municipal corporation and eight civic contractors in solid waste management services.

- Megha Sood

MUMBAI: The contractors, who participated in the tendering process for these services, had made it to the shortlist but have now approached the Bombay High Court, seeking a stay on a second tender floated after the corporation cancelled the first one on "technical grounds".

The Vasai-Virar City Municipal Corporation (VVCMC) floated the first tender in September 2024, to appoint contractors for solid waste management services including daily cleaning, cleaning of sewage chambers, door-to-door garbage collection, housing society garbage collection, and the disposal of the solid waste thus collected at dumping yards. The tender of ₹207 crore covered a span of three years, from 2025-26 to 2027-28.

What makes the internet possible? The short answer: miles of fibreoptic cables that lie on the ocean floor. Who builds them? Who tends to them? How is the map of these links changing? In a new book, Subramanian chases the cables around the world, talking to people who mend them and depots that ship them out; untangling the intense corporate power grabs and geopolitics that dictate how and where a new one is laid. ‘The internet is really very territorial, and vulnerable,’ he says
