@chennaicorp @sameerangs @ChennaiTraffic Thank you.

[RonSwanson @RonSwansonIND]

@sameerangs @chennaicorp allowing track JCBs to drive should not be allowed. Damaging road during demolition is completely avoidable outcome .

@chennaicorp @sameerangs please reconsider using concrete for road cuts.

In suburbs there are many road cuts and there concrete filling doesn't last nor provide a smooth ride for commuters.

I have raised many complaints and addressed by GCC, but so many of those are degraded.

@chennaicorp Why can't we use machine for this..this much dust isn't good for ppl who are cleaning

[Schiffskapitän @damn_barbarian]

2011.
That was the year the world still thought India could realistically rival China.
Then China doubled down on industry, exports, infrastructure, technology, and discipline.
India doubled down on religion, mob politics, hatred, and loud nationalism with nothing to show for it.

@SagarPrasa72470 @KantInEastt The post is about people littering, there is no justification for that.

Points you raise about not allowing phones water is maddnee and you're calling out Temple management which is fair.

If you someone who doesn't litter kudos to you.

@SagarPrasa72470 @KantInEastt How many bottles did you throw ?

[RonSwanson @RonSwansonIND]

@chennaicorp please look into this

[Tamil Nadu Geography @TNGeography]

Tamil Nadu towns are dust bowls. Dust is the major contributor of air pollution in TN urban areas(60+%), our lungs are filled with dust particles. Bad road design, inept local bodies.etc make our cities unlivable. I hope new govt change it

@KirenRijiju So brave of you to call out your party colleagues or future party members at the same time.

[RonSwanson @RonSwansonIND]

We waste do much money on poorly planned.and executed projects, it leaves very little for things like this. @TVKVijayHQ @CMOTamilnadu
please be the change people hope for.

[Tamil Nadu Geography @TNGeography]

Waste management is complete failure across Tamil Nadu, most past govt's ignored it, the issue was kept piling up. Our soil & waterbodies are filled with micro plastic. Our cities are some of dirtiest in the world. I hope, new govt takes this as a priority.

[Chirag @chirag]

Our man at 18 has given more interviews and faced more grilling by Journos in a few days than the PM of India has in the past 12 years.

PS: discussions about mangos are not interviews.

[Reclaim Chennai streets @reclaimchennai]

The bar is extremely low for urbanism in TN.

Even simple painting of lane markings will be a massive upgrade.

I have a list of 100 days and 100 low hanging fixes that are reels worthy @TVKPartyHQ

[RonSwanson @RonSwansonIND]

@reclaimchennai That road has som tree cover, if that can be augmented it would be good. Most importantly, corporation should instruct shop owners to enforce proper parking. Cant keep depending on X complaints to act..@chennaicorp @sameerangs

[RonSwanson @RonSwansonIND]

@Akshita_N This is what happens when you couple lack of integrity with lack of talent.

[RonSwanson @RonSwansonIND]

@7_5_Cobra @This_is_Ramana Labour rates are higher than most other states including GJ etc. So you don't know what you're talking about.

It's called diversification and might want to look per capita basis. Even tech won't pay crazy amounts to evryone.

International tourists in Goa:

2017 —> 900,000
2025 —> 500,000

That’s a 45% decline.

I’ve lived in Goa for 2 years and I’ve travelled to 50+ countries. It’s a myth that there are too many tourists in Goa. There are too few. The south of Spain, for example, probably has 100x more tourists than Goa, and still doesn’t seem as crowded. The lives of locals aren’t run over by tourists.

The reason why Goa seems crowded is because how badly the state is managed and how little infrastructure creation there is — even for locals.

The things that will make Goa better for tourists are the very same things that will make it better for Goans:

1. Accessible, safe, comfortable, and affordable public transport (small and frequent electric buses, and a circular regional rail line)

2. Pedestrian and cycling infrastructure in towns.

3. Improved patrolling for safety, with a focus on women.

4. Roads with safety features built in (median dividers, rest stops, lane markers, dedicated parking).

5. Protecting nature (stopping encroachment of forests, cleaning beaches, rivers and cliffs) and making it more accessible (some of the most beautiful spots get locked out by real estate developers).

6. Enforcement of the state-run taxi app that ensures customers are charged for only one way trips.

And then there are tourist specific measures that is not in the hands of the state:

7. Lower taxes on hotels, etc.

8. Visa on arrival for many more countries (we don’t need reciprocity, honestly).

And every time someone here posts about waning tourism in Goa, some Goans respond saying, “good, we don’t want tourists.” It seems like the only reason why Goa is succeeding in keeping tourists away is by not providing the basics of civic life to its own people. People visit Dubai, Istanbul and Paris not because they cater to tourists. But because they’ve made these cities beautiful and comfortable to live in for themselves.

🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry on FIFA turning the World Cup Final into a Super Bowl circus:

“Football is losing its soul little by little. A World Cup Final is supposed to be the purest form of football, pressure, intensity, emotion, tactics, suffering, history. Not a halftime concert made for social media clips and celebrities in vip seats.

When you play at the highest level, your body is programmed around rhythm. Fifteen minutes. That’s what every footballer in the world has known since childhood. Your muscles stay warm, your concentration stays locked in, your emotions stay alive. Now imagine players sitting there for 25 minutes during the biggest game of their lives because FIFA wants a bigger TV spectacle.

People think footballers are robots. They are not. Momentum is real. If one team is dominating before halftime, that long break can completely kill the intensity of the game. It changes everything tactically and mentally. You cool down physically, you lose adrenaline, and then people expect players to immediately return playing at 100 miles per hour.

And let’s be honest here, this is not about football, it’s about money and entertainment. They want football to become the Super Bowl. More commercials, more performances, more headlines, more celebrities. But football became the biggest sport in the world without all of that. The game itself was enough.

The dangerous part is that if the final quality drops or players get injured because of these changes, fans will attack the players first. They will say certain stars disappeared in the second half or failed under pressure, without understanding the conditions were completely changed for a television show.

For me, the World Cup Final should feel sacred. Ninety minutes of war between the best players on earth. Not a pause long enough for the world to forget the match is even happening.”
