@AreaPashan members attended ths gathering of concerned citizens 4m Pune, Pimpri Chinchwad, & PMRDA areas.
It's high time individuals, citizen forums, & subject experts come together to get our cities, state & nation on track
On the occasion of upcoming #EnvironmentDay on the 5th of June, this open public interaction was organised with all the groups and individual citizens who are actively working on civic issues and environmental concerns of Pune. I spoke for @VTBKS_Pune on #VetalTekdi challenges and updates, and how the road projects planned on the tekdi should be deleted from the DP.
Pune is suffering because of failing governance by @PMCPune and state government. Much of the #citizenactivism today is due to this failure. But citizens fall weak in many ways- lack of resources , know-how of the system, accessibility and availability of data etc. This knowledge-sharing was to address this gap and was the first of its kind.
Issues included #PuneRFD #SaveVetalTekdi #Climatechallenges #urbanheatislands #UDCPR #medicalwastemanagement #treefelling #watermanagement among others
Pune's garbage collection system is facing a massive crisis, and the reason behind it is absolutely shocking. Out of over 10,000 workers assigned to keep our city clean, only about 40% are actually doing their jobs on the ground. A detailed internal report by the solid waste management department reveals that around 450 to 500 sanitation workers are allegedly deployed at the private residences of political leaders, including MLAs, corporators, and former office-bearers. Instead of cleaning the streets, these municipal employees are reportedly being used for personal duties like housekeeping and driving, all while drawing their full salaries from the taxpayer-funded PMC budget.
What makes it worse is that this isn't a new issue. The investigation shows that some workers have been completely absent from their original cleaning postings for 5 to 10 years. Even though a detailed report on this mess was submitted to senior civic officials last year, political pressure and frequent transfers of senior officers have successfully delayed any concrete action. With the city's cleanliness visibly suffering, PMC Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram has now stepped in and ordered a strict verification process, promising that anyone found guilty of exploiting the system will face consequences.

When the monster of a big city eats up small suburbs, it is just not life as one knew it.
#Mumbai's natives aren't getting the thick forests and the salt pans of their childhood back.

“आमच्याकडे जागाच नाही, मग नवीन झाडे लावणार कुठे?” — मेट्रो अधिकाऱ्यांचे हे उत्तर केवळ धक्कादायक नाही, तर भविष्यासाठी धोक्याची घंटा आहे.
मेट्रो, रस्ते विभाग, बिल्डर्स प्रकल्पांसाठी अस्तित्वातली मोठी झाडे तोडत आहेत… पण पर्यायी झाडे लावायची वेळ आली की उत्तर एकच — “जागा नाही.”
