@pervinsanghvi absolutely - but whatever can be done by those who are aware is all that can be hoped for!

Our Development Model whether it is in the Himalayas or elsewhere in the country is not sustainable ... in Pune the rivers are being narrowed down for beautification! @PuneRivers @Jeevitnadi @ChaloPmc @parisarpune

[Nidhi Jamwal @JamwalNidhi]

Himachal is a disaster-zone right now! Massive destruction of infrastructure; at least 74 dead. Heavy rainfall & flash floods have led to high losses. And this isn’t the first time. Climate change & our ‘development’ model in the mountains will make matters worse.

@VinitaDeshmukh @KanganaTeam insensitive!

[Devaki Datar Kunte @DevakiKunte]

@pargaien May be by involving locals? asking them to keep a watch? whats at stake? land to be "developed"?

[Devaki Datar Kunte @DevakiKunte]

@sushmadate hideous practices

[Devaki Datar Kunte @DevakiKunte]

@sushmadate @Salonee_TOIPune @AmeyaJagtap_ isn't the answer obvious? whats in it for them if they stand by us

[Devaki Datar Kunte @DevakiKunte]

@ultra__sonic @PuneRivers @PKarve_Samuchit @ecologicalsoc @Jeevitnadi congratulations @PuneRivers - appreciate your efforts!

[Devaki Datar Kunte @DevakiKunte]

@VetalTekdi since the tekdi does it for free and there is no chance of corruption it is not a very lucrative option as water supply

[Devaki Datar Kunte @DevakiKunte]

@vata_foundation @moefcc @HarithaHaram @GHMCOnline @HMDA_Gov @UrbanGhmc @Comm_HYDRAA we the citizens need to wake up since we dont have vested interests in reducing green cover of cities and concretizing river banks - they are our life lines

[Devaki Datar Kunte @DevakiKunte]

@HillsPune @jayashreenandi not just antibiotics, lot of other chemicals from our cleaning products like soaps shampoos conditioners & then of course all the agricultural pollutants like weedicides, pesticides, insecticides, which are all part of irrigation waters thus we have toxic food in our plates daily

[Devaki Datar Kunte @DevakiKunte]

@jayashreenandi Same story every where in India - Pune rivers are sewage carrying nullahs too - and now with Pune River Rejuvenation project, they will concretise its banks, butcher 11000 trees and narrowing down the banks thus multiplying flood risks exponentially

[Devaki Datar Kunte @DevakiKunte]

@navipeth @Wangchuk66

[Devaki Datar Kunte @DevakiKunte]

@navipeth Yes, quoting Sonam Wangchuk - air pollution is killing at a higher rate than the world wars - its a war against nature and we are part of it

[Devaki Datar Kunte @DevakiKunte]

@VetalTekdi yes just like the eye sores already being advertised on the "beautiful" river front near Kalyani nagar - both the river revival and tekdi roads are for the real estate industry and not for the city nor its citizens

[Devaki Datar Kunte @DevakiKunte]

@BhavreenMK @JasjeevGandhiok It is just another trick to fool public at large

[Devaki Datar Kunte @DevakiKunte]

@sushmadate OMG this is completely vile

[Devaki Datar Kunte @DevakiKunte]

@ameetgsingh @CafeEconomics @NITIAayog @TheEconomist @wef @wto @WSJ @UN @JMilei @ASEAN @mercosur Economy and all of us are a subset of Ecology - high time we realise and understand this

[Devaki Datar Kunte @DevakiKunte]

Some respite for Pune's riverbanks! Lets keep up the pressure Punekars!! Pl speak about this to one and all - post, share, comment to make the message reach out to ALL Puneris! @PuneRivers @Jeevitnadi @parisarpune @VetalTekdi @clean_pune @VTBKS_Pune @SalimAli_Bird @ultra__sonic

[Aditi Shekar @Aditi_Shekar]
