4 days and 37 calls later, could not make @havellsindia install a #Lloyd ac. To top it off, the service centre provided ‘non-existing’ number as technician’s number while keeping customer-care executive on call. This is outright fraudulent.

Flew 6E6274 (CCU-GHY), but our checked baggage was left due to a lighter. Kolkata airport refused authorization near gate closing. In Guwahati, we gave authorization, yet the bag never arrived. Guwahati said no update, CCU didn’t respond.

Our latest episode in the 2024 job market series is with @atanu_xahs. His dissertation examines the in situ slum rehabilitation scheme through a state-led intervention in low income housing in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Atanu and @srajagopalan talked about the reasons for the emergence of urban slums in Ahmedabad, the successes and failures of the in situ slum rehabilitation scheme, the differences across four recent slum redevelopments, the types of problems residents face post rehabilitation, and much more.
It was a pleasure speaking with @srajagopalan on the @IdeasofIndia podcast series. we discussed my research on in-situ slum rehabilitation in #Ahmedabad. the research examines how these initiatives are reshaping the relationship between #housing, #informality and #citizenship.

These institutions, which were instrumental in securing #citizenship rights in slums, are now acting as #intermediaries to convince and coerce residents to accept the redevelopment scheme.
#Housing in # Urban India My study of #SRS in #Ahmedabad shows that the committees and associations in #slums have become the de facto institutions facilitating the implementation process of the in-situ slum rehabilitation scheme
