@newslaundry @BhavreenMK In which year was this strength sanctioned?

This is perfect weather to understand the benefits of a Miyawaki Forest

1-visit any Miyawaki Forest on any terribly hot & sunny day

2- walk thru the Miyawaki Forest. And feel the shade

3- then walk below any adjoining tree. And feel the shade

(2/8) When we compared the night temp. of the roads around Sundar Nagri (LEFT), and the relatively posher, SDA (RIGHT), we found a temp diff. of 10 °C. This just goes to show how wealthier areas, with more tree cover are relatively better off when it comes to heat

So nice to see the fans being cleaned at Santacruz Railway Station

Mumbai Metro MMOCL doesn't have this cleaning issue
Simply because they don't have any fans at their overground stations

Mumbai-Local Stations
Built for Mumbai's weather

(1/6) On 12 May, we visited Delhi's Dwarka forest. Between the forest and the road outside, there was a staggering difference of 17 to 21 degrees Celsius on the thermal camera.

5 trees felled in Delhi per hour.
10 years = 4,38,300 trees

For some reason they love working in ‘forests’ & ‘floodplains’, where they shouldn’t be…

[Zoru Bhathena @zoru75]

Trees planted so close to each other cannot survive

One tree will grow tall
& its shade will kill the smaller trees

Trees need space to grow
& there is not enough space in this pic

My Coastal Road
Where Thousands of trees will be planted
And only Hundreds will survive

The Ridge is not real estate or a theme park. It is Delhi’s climate shield. This ecological vandalism will cost lives.

Delhi is turning furnace every summer/gas chamber every winter yet busy bulldozing city’s last natural lungs in the name of ‘restoration’. One cannot destroy biodiversity, concrete over forests, remove native vegetation & then act shocked when heatwaves/AQI becomes intolerant.

@over2shailaja @BhavreenMK There existed a Delhi Division

ONLY natural saviour for air pollution, heatwaves & climate change⬇️

Trees can cut urban heat by nearly 50% but cities that need cooling the most often hv the fewest trees.
New global study of > 8,900 cities found poorer, hotter regions get far less relief from tree cover, despite rising extreme heat risks.

[Warrior Moms @Warriormomsin]

Tree failures are never “sudden.” Compacted soil, concretisation around roots, debris dumping, reckless trenching, mindless pruning & rising heat stress silently weaken urban trees for years before collapse.

If cities want safer roads, tree health must be treated as critical infrastructure; not an afterthought. Scientific arboriculture, permeable soil & root protection; not cosmetic plantation drives.
