CID fame veteran actor, Shri Shivaji Satam, will be the face of the campaign. With him joining this campaign for a vigilant and safe city, MGL aims to boost awareness about safe excavation
Digging activities are frequent due to various ongoing infrastructure development activities, however, unsafe or unplanned digging can cause serious accidents. Therefore, through ‘MGL Sahayogi’ initiative, MGL urges residents to report any unsafe or unplanned digging activities happening in their vicinity so as to prevent accidental damage to gas pipelines. This can help avoid potential gas leaks, fire hazards and will ensure uninterrupted gas supplies to homes and CNG stations and maintain public safety.
For reporting such digging activities, individuals can contact MGL through Helpline Number: 1800 2100 2100
“As I always say, ‘Kuch toh gadbad hai,’ and with digging, the stakes are too high. But with ‘MGL Sahayogi’ initiative, we have the power to prevent that danger before it even starts. Every call to MGL is a step towards protecting our homes, our neighbourhood and our entire city from harm,” said Shri Shivaji Satam.
Adding further, he said, “Let’s join hands with MGL, take that small step, to make Mumbai safer for everyone. Together, we can prevent accidents and keep Mumbai’s gas supplies running safely and smoothly.”
