Totally in agreement with @PMOIndia on curtailing travel, fuel use etc. If itтАЩs a global crisis, and beyond our control, self discipline will be the best foot forward.
However, I also have a suggestion for @narendramodi ji. ЁЯЩП
Sir, collectively we have close to 5000 MLAs and MPs in India. Whenever they move, official vehicles aside, they are accompanied by hordes of followers and supporters. Never seen even an MLA with less than 5-8 vehicle convoy. And sometimes these cavalcades run into hundreds of vehicles. And political leaders, across parties, travel daily to multiple locations. The convoys never shorten nor stop. You can add 2-3 independent vehicle convoys to immediate families of entire number too, just for calculations.
Collectively, we are talking about hundreds and thousands of vehicles daily, running for no apparent reason other than accompanying the leader and тАШto be seenтАЩ, and clocking millions of miles each day.
Sir, if you can direct these leaders, to cut down these illogical miles, it not only would help the present initiative, but also set a case for better future where twenty cars with horns blaring on roads donтАЩt push commoners like us aside because the leader has to travel by supersonic speed to fashionably arrive late at his / her next function.
YouтАЩve been a common citizen like us. You didnтАЩt inherit the chair and power. IтАЩm sure you understand the sheer insult and disgust we feel when bulky bouncers and cops hanging out from pilot and other vehicles just shove other vehicles around. So you will be resolving this crassness and unruly behaviour too.
Practical problems are surface repressions of deep rooted cultural issues. Like your Swach Bharat initiative. No amount of infrastructure can keep India clean if we donтАЩt stop throwing garbage on roads.
I think, in the same manner, car pooling, minimising travel, not running ACs in cars in parking because the VIP cannot ensure 20 seconds of heat while the car cools when AC is switched on, traveling by public transport - all are more of cultural issue than practical ones.
And IтАЩm very sure, a step taken by leaders will go a long way in making your initiative successful, sir.
Jai Hind
- An Indian citizen.
Dear Prime Minister @narendramodi ,
After your advise to stop using cars, Today I decided to walk to my office and sharing some realities with you.
Citizens are not addicted to cars. Most people would happily avoid taking their cars out if cities simply offered three things properly; safe footpaths, protected cycling tracks, and dependable Metro connectivity.
Give us these three basics and I can confidently say private car usage will reduce massively on its own.
But today, the reality is different. Cities like Pune, where public transport demand is exploding, still struggle with incomplete and delayed infrastructure, while Metro projects are inaugurated in places where the urgency and density are comparatively lower like Bhopal or Nagpur for political advantage. Footpaths are encroached upon or broken by your own goons or electric dept. Cycling tracks exist mostly for presentations, events, and photo opportunities instead of daily commuting.
Then citizens are lectured about reducing car usage.
Sir, roads in India are still unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists. Asking people to give up cars without first guaranteeing safety is unfair. A middle class citizen choosing a car today is not choosing luxury; he is choosing survival and, predictability.
If you truly want us to adopt public transport and sustainable mobility, then please first make walking and cycling safe, and then focus on public transport reliable enough that citizens choose it willingly rather than being morally pressured into it.

@aparanjape If even half of these PMPL buses had been registered in October & started plying on the roads, #Pune would've experienced major relief from traffic, pollution & civic-sense issues. Politicians & authorities desperately need to rethink their approach

BREAKING тЬЕя╕П
тЧПCharity Commissioner CANCELS HND Jain Hostel Land Sale тАФ LEGAL Victory for the jain Community
тЧПThe Charity Commissioner of Maharashtra has revoked the permission granted for sale of HND Jain Hostel land to Gokhale Landmarks LLP.
тЧПThis is not withdrawal. This is a LEGAL CANCELLATION under Section 36(2)
тАв The sanction order dated 04-04-2025 under Section 36 is revoked
тАв Sale Deed & Power of Attorney dated 08-10-2025 must be canceled
тАв Trust must refund the entire sale consideration (minus TDS) to Gokhale Landmarks
тАв Trust must update PTR records after cancellation
тЧПThis is now a binding legal order
This is a precedent-setting order under the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950. Section 36(2) is exercised only when there is:
тАв Lack of transparency
тАв Community interest at risk
тАв Need to protect donor intent & trust purpose
тЧПThe Commissioner clearly found grounds to intervene. This is a moral victory, too. A message to all trusts that operate in the name of Dharma:
Community assets are not private real estate. they are sacred responsibility.
тЧПToday is a moment to acknowledge:
тАв Alumni who raised their voice
тАв Students who stood strong
тАв Community leaders who supported truth
тАв Media who covered the issue
тАв The judiciary process that kept the matter alive, especially @advpyog
тЧПThis judgment will inspire every community fighting to protect its heritage.
History will remember
HND was not sold.
HND was saved.
