court ke samne sab meow meow
Actor Imran Khan, in his challenge to a Leave India Notice, has told the court that he went near Mumbai's August Kranti Maidan on October 10 only "being curious about what was happening on the ground as far as student protesters were concerned".
When police told him the area was restricted, his "curiosity ended", and he complied with the directions "and proceeded towards his parked vehicle", reads his writ petition in the Bombay High Court against the notice directing him to leave the country by October 28.
It argued that Khan, an American citizen, was detained only after media reporters surrounded him and there was commotion.

theres 0 incentive to do anything on local gov say if there was a mayor of bengaluru wouldnt that person rival the chief minister in terms of pol heft why would they willing thus devolve power/devote money&responsibilities towards local governance? take the example of nyc…
Replying to @DebadreeC
indian streets are filthy because we have the worst possible constitutional structure that doesnt allow for any local governance to develop/be funded/held accountable and any attempt at fixing it will be immidiately thwarted so state govts can maintain their redistribution scheme

I think what is actually needed is for Indian people to actually give a damn about their cities and fellow citizens.
Anybody using the "I pay taxes, I shouldn't have to do anything" excuse should go live in another country. India isn't developed, it's developing, so it needs patriots, not parasites. If this triggers you, it means you're part of the problem.
If you're not happy with the footpath (or a pothole, or anything else which is broken), fix it, or call someone to fix it, and don't give up until it's fixed. Be relentless. Be vocal. Be creative. Make it your mission to get that one thing fixed. Look at what Virendra (@Virendra0698) did by just calling the right people and being respectful (but also persistent). He and Arun Pai (@arunpaiblrwalks) along with the help of GBA and some wonderful volunteers turned an unofficial garbage dump into a pristine, beautiful footpath through sheer force of will.

also “civic sense” is a common nonsense cop out for govt incompetence ofc civic sense is imp but saying it is reason why we have it so bad is purely stupid no society is held up purely due to goodness of citizens they are clean and beautiful due to effective governance…
… adequate staffing capacity and funding every city on earth has people polluting thowing garbage etc what differs is some cities have a functional local govt that will clean all that on a daily basis and some will not and blame civic sense
sarkari uffsars give a damn only if you are perceived as important enough to give a damn about neither the tax payer nor the poor is listened to all these lectures only look nice on social media “call some to fix it” ha bhai mamaji hai baithe hai mere call ke liye
