Dear Lordship, preaching Article 21 in the morning & pleading enforcement challenges in the afternoon is a bit confusing. Is the right to breathe fundamental only in speeches, not in practice?
Vandana Chaudhary retweeted
#India: We are concerned by reports of mass detentions of demonstrators, protest leaders, members of civil society organisations, lawyers and journalists, before and during today’s large-scale demonstrations in Delhi.
We call on the authorities to ensure that the right to peaceful assembly is fully respected and fulfilled.

ALT India: All those arbitrarily detained must be immediately and unconditionally released

Clean-up drives make the #Ghaggar look better for a day. Untreated drains make it sick again by the next. 🧵
Beyond the first aid: stop the source, restore the flow, protect the floodplain. That is how a dying river comes back. #BeyondTheGhaggar

1/4 Great initiative by @MC_Panchkula to start penalizing the LITTERING JUNTA with on-the-spot digital e-challans! 👏
If strictly enforced, will definitely yield immediate results on the ground .
@VinayKumar_IRPS please ensure that enforcement is uniform and not selective . 👇

True💪Consistency in action and relentless push for on‑ground policy implementation is what truly shifts the needle. Pressure must be built alongside good work — only then does change stop being optional and start becoming inevitable. #ClimateActionNow #Pune

Another winter, another action plan, but Delhi’s pollution problem doesn’t begin in winter.
As @reetksahni @ndtv reports, experts flag what has been said over & over again; many measures already exist under GRAP. The real crisis is implementation, accountability & year round source reduction.
Delhi needs action on the ground, not another plan on paper.

Why can't @PMCPune @navalMH @MDNagpure could think of the similar planning & Pune grand tour quality roads elsewhere for citizens of #Pune. Indian citizens deserve some love too. Spend something. Why are we left to die on potholed, unleveled poor quality roads? @mohol_murlidhar

Poor quality pavers and maintaince aside, first time actually seeing a tactile paver that actually goes around the drain covers than over it.
Pedestrian safety? Practically invisible.🙄Walking on footpaths feels like playing a risky game in #Pune. @PMCPune @navalMH One wrong step on the broken stretch near National Stationary, Dasara Chowk,411045 & someone’s bound to get hurt. Many have already fallen here. @MDNagpure

You are now claiming that this 4.3-km elevated corridor will have “zero footprint in the Eco-Sensitive KBR Park zone” and minimise impact on existing green cover.
But this comes after replacing the earlier 14-structure H-CITI plan with a new ₹1,090-crore corridor.
So, Hyderabadis are asking again:
Where is the Detailed Project Report for this new 4.3-km corridor❓
Where is the cumulative Environmental Impact Assessment, socio-economic impact assessment and intergenerational impact assessment ❓
Were citizens and independent experts consulted before deciding on this repackaged project ❓
We have asked these questions before. We shouldn't have to ask them again every time the project is redesigned.
Public money is not a blank cheque. Every rupee comes with accountability.

Commendable move by @PMDAPanchkula & @MC_Panchkula to free ~3,000 mature trees from choking concrete & enforce the 1m NGT buffer! 🌳
However, de-concretization is living surgery, not routine civil demolition. A regular contractor mindset will do more harm than good. 🧵👇

जपान दौऱ्यावर पुणे मनपाच्या वतीने गेलेल्या पथकात महापौर, स्थायी समितीचे अध्यक्ष, अतिरिक्त आयुक्त आणि शहर अभियंता यांचा समावेश आहे
जपानमधील Infra पाहून त्यांचे डोळे नक्कीच दीपावतील, आणि आपल्याकडे Power, अधिकार असताना पुण्याची आपण काय अवस्था करून ठेवली आहे, याची जाणीव त्यांना होईल

1️⃣ Panchkula is promised its own "Sukhna Lake" at Singh Nala Choe for ₹100 Cr. But is it a visionary waterfront or a massive flood risk waiting to happen?
Here is what the ₹100 Cr lake proposal hides, and why experts call it a disaster in the making 🧵👇

पुणे आणि पिंपरी चिंचवड मध्ये टँकर सुरू आहेत.
शेजारी असलेल्या पालिकेच्या टाकीतून पाणी भरून आसपासच्या सोसायटीला पैसे लाऊन विकले जात आहेत.
पालिकेचे पाणी व्यवस्थित सोडले तर सोसायटीला अतिरिक्त खर्च करावा लागणार नाही.
परंतु टंचाईच्या नावाखाली लूट सुरू आहे याला कोण थांबवणार ?
