Despite the wide penetration of PMUY, several households in India continue to stack and burn biomass for cooking. In this piece for @CitiesQuestion @Saumya1205 and I look at some crucial barriers faced by urban poor households in making the shift to LPG.

BIG: So @rautsanjay61 goes public with a sensational charge that was only until now being whispered in Maharashtra power corridors. One of the Sena (UBT) MPs Om Raje Nimbalkar he claims was told that if he wants a favourable verdict in his father’s murder case in special CBI court, he has to switch sides. The verdict was to come yesterday and has been pushed now to 19th. If true, it raises a very troubling Qs: are court verdicts also now decided by party loyalties?

@richapintoi They have nicely recreated the moon after all the money and effort that has gone into fixing it! Sad state of affairs.

[Mumbai Rains @rushikesh_agre_]

IMD will not issue a heatwave alert for Mumbai even if temperatures approach 40°C in this week. This is because the weather station at Colaba, due to its coastal proximity, usually records lower temperatures and does not meet the heatwave criteria. As a result those interior parts of the city may experience near 40°C without an official heatwave declaration.

These are all cases of damage within a year of usage.

Hello @ASICS_India ! Big fan of your shoes and own 4 pairs in the family. But it’s shocking and supremely disappointing that the mesh on your shoes is very poor and gets these holes even after light use. These are images from multiple people complaining about the same!

[Ankita Bhatkhande @ankitab1492]

Could you take some measures to ensure this does not happen at least within a year after purchasing shoes work 17k? That’s the bare minimum one can expect. Also mesh is a part of the shoe and needs to be covered in warranty!

The train is extremely unclean and this may have caused an infestation possibly in the carshed. Please fumigate all your facilities to avoid this going forward. This is the least that can be done for commuters safety

[Ankita Bhatkhande @ankitab1492]

Hello @WesternRly there’s a massive cockroach infestation in 10.01 Virar fast from Churchgate (ladies first class). Kindly act at the earliest. There are at least 50 roaches in the coach and it’s hazardous to people who are having to commute in these circumstances!

@ganeshsonawane Image 3. Mentions all the offerings in the product and also has the entire face of the person in the poster. People dont like seeing zoomed in images as they often seem to rip the dignity of the image in the poster.

अजित पवारांनी महिला IPS अधिकाऱ्याला फोनवरून धमकी देणे ही बातमी तर आहेच. पण त्यापेक्षा गंभीर म्हणजे अजित पवारांनी पक्ष कार्यकर्त्याच्या फोनवरून पोलीसी कार्यवाहीत हस्तक्षेप करून अंजली(अंजना) कृष्णा यांना कारवाई रोखण्यासाठी आदेश देणे झाले आहे का?, याची चौकशी व्हावी. लाभार्थी किंवा पक्ष कार्यकर्त्यांना बेकायदेशीर कामं करू देणे किंवा त्यांच्यावरील कारवाई रोखणे हे व्हिडिओमधून उघडे झाल्याने “नियमात बसेल तेच करेल, काम होत असेल तर करेल, नाही तर नाही, शब्दाचा पक्का, विकासाचंच तेवढं बोलतो, सकाळपासून विकास कामांसाठी धावतो”, वगैरेचा सगळ्या बाबींचा बुरखा फाटला गेला, असं वाटत नाही का?

Everytime it rains heavily, I think of those who have to continue being on the waterlogged streets- traffic police, waste collection personnel, electricity technicians, photojournalists & many more. Most of them do this out of genuine care &concern! Let's be kind towards them :)

[Mumbai Traffic Police @MTPHereToHelp]

Due to waterlogging, vehicular movement is slow at Oberoi Junction. Our personnels and @mybmc staff are present at the location to ease the traffic & assist Mumbaikars.

Hello @mybmcWardRC Kindly take up mosquito fogging at the earliest at Abhinav Nagar Borivali East. It has not happened even once in this season and there is a huge risk of mosquito related illnesses like chilanguniya and malaria
