Removing cars from footpaths will be relatively easy. There is likely to be enough support for that. What will be incredibly difficult is removing vehicles from places where the footpath should be but is not. Most roads don't have footpaths, and it is in those roads that the right to walk safely will meet the full contradiction of the support we now see for clearing out shops and vendors.

[Ashwin Mahesh @ashwinmahesh]

Clearing the footpaths does not make them continuously walkable. The latter is the right measure of success, the former is a beginning.

Start with the edges of lakes and parks. Simple design fixes will produce 5000 km of walkable footpaths. Then implement Kaaludari to get network effects.

My latest in @the_hindu explores the new world disorder. “We are living in an interregnum — the old world fading, the new one unformed. The danger is not that the system collapses overnight, but that it decays slowly, leaving a vacuum filled by opportunism and coercion. The promise of 1945 was that law could tame power. The peril of today is that power may once again tame law. The task for this generation is not to resurrect the past but to prevent the future from sliding into a world where the only real rule is that there are no rules at all.”

This is BIG news!

Benefits ORR/Sarajpura Rd/E-City commuters

But we know lines and stations can’t do magic unless Indian Railways runs trains during commute hours

@julie_sahoo @PMOIndia @casagrandhomes Also Sir, all the states have a rebate for women property buyers and Karanataka is one of the few states which has no rebate. Urge you look at this from your good offices.

And further comforting that it was argued by the venerable lawyer, female, @IJaising and the case filed by the indomitable female MP, @MahuaMoitra

@Virali01 @venunambisan If government offices have to be accessible they need to have a lift for them to be accessible! You cannot have public offices without accessibility , I have paid heavy taxes for 15 years!

[DeviMeenakshi @devimeenakshi7]

@Virali01 @venunambisan had to be carried up by friends as the registrars office was not accecible even by a lift!

#MovePeopleNotVehicles

Many cities across the globe have figured this out and are able to survive today with heavy emphasis on cycling and bus & metro.

Indian cities will get there too, sooner than later. Just a matter of time

[GeetV @geetv79]

When crude prices rise,
Indian fuel prices rise.

When crude prices fall,
Indian fuel prices stay up.

Today Indian petrol prices are much higher than what they were in 2011 when global crude prices were at unprecedented highs.

Who is profiteering?

[Nidhi Razdan @Nidhi]

Why did it take the video to go viral for the police to make an arrest? Do leaders care more about social media outrage than real people?

[Srinivas Alavilli @srinualavilli]

Finally! This is an excellent decision. The ball is now in the court of citizens. More of us that get locally involved the better chances of the funds being utilised and lakes revived. Bengaluru is full of lake revival stories and infusion of funds is long awaited.

[Srinivas Alavilli @srinualavilli]

Can you imagine a state govt being able to do this? Can you even imagine union govt trying to conceiving such a program - leave alone executing it? This is why we need to empower city corporations, municipalities & panchayats #decentralizegovernance Well done @chennaicorp!
