Following the removal of film actor Dia Mirza’s video appeal on the @mybmc handle against bursting firecrackers during Diwali, former Mumbai mayor and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Kishori Pednekar on Tuesday wrote to Municipal Commissioner objecting to the civic body’s action and seeking appropriate administrative intervention.

Pednekar said Mirza’s appeal was entirely consistent with the BMC’s own messaging on pollution control and environmental protection.

A step forward for clean air and public health in Mumbai! 🌿

Following our meeting with Deputy Mayor Shri Sanjay Ghadi, led by Dr S.P. Mathew, LCF has received letters addressed to Mumbai’s civic bodies, enabling the Mumbai Forum for Clean Air to pursue public health campaigns and collaborations.

Next: turning this institutional support into action.

Perhaps the greatest evil we must vanquish is the one within us. The one that teaches us to hate, to dominate, to divide and to destroy nature.

May we choose compassion over cruelty, unity over division, and love over fear. For each other. For all life. 🌳🦋

Despite decades of progress, our global food system is under immense strain & hunger remains unacceptably high.

Food is a fundamental human right.

Let’s turn shared commitments into action & deliver sustainable, healthy & equitable food systems for all.

Racism, intolerance & discrimination tear at the fabric of societies.

Ending discrimination benefits everyone.

Each of us can take action to #FightRacism and create a better world for all. https://t.co/cCd3JjLrsV

The world is moving away from animal testing. India must uphold the principles that it have secured animal rights and protection.

#India: We are concerned by reports of mass detentions of demonstrators, protest leaders, members of civil society organisations, lawyers and journalists, before and during today’s large-scale demonstrations in Delhi.

We call on the authorities to ensure that the right to peaceful assembly is fully respected and fulfilled.

This show didn't get enough love: The Plastic Detox.

Couples who couldn't conceive for years were told to use less plastic for 90 days.

Plastic food containers, plastic wrap, utensils, underwear, clothes, etc.

90 days later 3/6 got pregnant.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I'm proud to report that for the first time in history, the @UN has achieved gender parity across all senior leadership, headquarters & professional staff.

We removed barriers, challenged assumptions & refused to accept that power must look as it always has. And we never compromised on quality & competence.

If the UN can do it, so can governments, parliaments & businesses everywhere.

‘Run him over’
This is beyond horrific & tragic. #forest officer crushed by #mining #mafia as he sought to stop illegal soil mining.
He is one among many who try & protect our #forests #nature #wildlife -#natural resources & the retaliation is brutal. We have failed to equip, empower & honour them. #Rajasthan @RajCMO @ForestRajasthan @SachinPilot

“Force cannot be the final arbiter of whose lives, rights and future matter.”

– @antonioguterres says he will never give up on the conviction that peace is possible.

"I will continue to stand up for the values of the UN Charter.

And I will never ever give up."

Doubling down on oil and gas will only lock in vulnerability for decades.

Fortunately, we have a way out.

Renewables are the cheapest, fastest & most secure source of new electricity almost everywhere. They are unstoppable.

“The greatest power is not the power to dominate.

It is the power to build a future that works for everyone.”

At #UNGA, @antonioguterres stresses our shared future depends on whether humanity can govern power wisely.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

From wars to climate change, the crises the world is facing are essentially a question of power:

Who has power?
Who is denied power?
How is power used?
How is power changing?

At #UNGA, I’ve asked world leaders:

Will we act to ensure that power is governed by law or by force?

By cooperation or coercion?

By responsibility to young people & future generations or indifference to their fate?

Because the defining challenges of our age are expressions of power.

And they will determine whether the world drifts deeper into division & instability or moves toward cooperation, justice & collective security.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The world faces three existential threats:

Runaway artificial intelligence.

The climate crisis.

And the intolerable deepening of inequalities.

Next week, world leaders are coming together at #UNGA.

My message to them:

International cooperation is more important than ever.
