Chronic flooding at Shantaram Talao, Parekh Nagar, Sita Chawl and Vyashet Pada was tackled through new sewer trunk lines and complete nala reconstruction. Major projects include the Shantaram Talao–State Bank–Santoshi Mata Mandir line, the Pathanwadi Highway–Mallika Hotel trunk sewer and the rebuilding of Parekh Nagar Nala, along with new culverts at Shivajinagar and Triveni Nagar to clear bottlenecks.

Under the banner “Swachh Indhan – Sukhi Jeevan – Surakshit Jeevan”, Mahanagar Gas PNG lines and Ujjwala connections were pushed aggressively in Ward 43. Around 2,600 families became “stove‑free”, shifting away from smoky kerosene stoves to cleaner gas, directly benefiting women’s health, kitchen safety and household dignity.

Open spaces like Mahant Rambalakdas Udyan, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Udyan at Shantaram Talao and Savarkar Maidan were developed with gardens, play equipment, open gyms and safe play areas. These projects created breathing spaces for children, youth and senior citizens in a ward otherwise dominated by dense built‑up areas.

During the COVID‑19 crisis, a ward‑level help centre and war room coordinated hospital beds, oxygen and critical medicines like Remdesivir, while volunteers and doctors handled calls round the clock. Large‑scale distribution of cooked food, ration kits, masks, sanitiser and immunity‑boosting medicines, plus arrangements for migrants to return home, turned this into a full‑spectrum relief operation.

The ward’s social life was strengthened through inclusive celebration of Ganeshotsav, Navratri, Haldi‑Kunku, Raksha Bandhan, Sai Palakhi and national festivals. Temple, masjid, gurudwara and church programs were supported alike, projecting an image of social harmony along with service activities like vada‑pav seva during immersion and cultural events for youth and women.

Vinod Mishra prioritised converting narrow, damaged and kutcha lanes into durable, cement‑concrete roads, especially on key stretches like G.G. Mahalkari Marg, R.R. Patil Marg, the Mallika Hotel–Sanjay Nagar corridor, and internal roads across Kurar and Pathanwadi. Long‑pending Development Plan roads such as Pathanwadi Humera Park to G.G. Mahalkari Marg and Sanskar College to Lakshmannagar were finally opened, easing congestion and improving emergency access.
