While it takes ₹2 cr to ₹3 crore for the Govt to revive a lake in #Bengaluru, residents of Kasturinagar near Banaswadi have revived a ‘lost’ lake at Kasturinagar ( B Channasandra) in just ₹30 lakh with the help of @Handsoncsr & @CGI_Global. @TOIBengaluru #Water #Karnataka

We had a good meeting with the Deputy Chief Engineer, Roads (Western Suburbs) last week. He was courteous and receptive to the points we made. The following points were discussed:

1. We informed him about our work on SV Road and our keen desire to ensure that the entire 25 km stretch features the best quality pedestrian infrastructure.

2. We expressed our concerns about the unnecessary shoulder portion concretization occurring across the city. In several instances, it is preventing the widening of footpaths.

3. We expressed our disapproval of the new fiberglass black railings that are being installed at a rapid pace across the city. We pointed out, using pictures, how these railings restrict pedestrian use of footpaths and ultimately waste public funds.

4. The issue of trees was discussed at length, specifically how the concretization of shoulder portions is damaging trees, putting them under stress, and negatively affecting tree cover. We highlighted how this contributes to increased summer heat while walking, as the concrete replaces natural greenery along the shoulder areas.

He has invited us to another meeting where we will make a more detailed presentation. This meeting was just a conversation starter.

Beautiful

Forget the PR, it’s all about the quality of life of citizens.

Streets like these add not just to physical safety but to mental well-being.

The most important design element of all these streets are the pavements. The pavements belong to the people & they truly signal what importance a city gives to its citizens.

Every municipality in the country should adopt holistic design of streets, with pavements—their size & their aesthetic— being the most highly prioritised elements…

Besides air quality - the second biggest priority that urban citizens need to force through our courts is the protection of Open Spaces. We are promised Recreation Grounds, Gardens, Parks in the rule book. But mischievously they get sold off.

Mulund: Building goes for Redevelopment. Builder abandons project mid-way. Society goes to court and wins case. Opts to demolish partly built building and re-start Redevelopment. But - the parasitic nexus wants Bribes before allowing them. Just another day in Mumbai real estate.

The Samay Raina case proves one thing:

Our system isn't broken,it's working exactly how politicians & the rich want it to.

If they wanted to end crime, corruption & pollution or boost development, they could do it overnight,but they won't.

It’s not inefficiency, it’s intent.

A PIL was filed by cycling promoter Davinder Singh Nagi seeking nationwide creation of cycle-tracks.

Supreme Court response - "People don't have clean water to drink. Government schools are closing down and you want cycle tracks?"

But,

Who will tell the judges that in India, bicycles are not just a choice but a necessity for the poor?

For many, cycling is their primary mode of commuting - a lifeline that enables them to work and earn a living. Children need this to reach those very govt schools you are talking about.

Dedicated cycle lanes ensure their safety and dignity on the roads.

Will the judges apply the same scrutiny to rampant road-widening and car-centric infrastructure, which continue to be prioritized over people-centric needs?

Improve the air quality in your home, apartment, office and gym by upgrading the air filter in the HVAC system.

The higher the MERV filter, the better. Not all HVAC systems can handle the higher MERV filter so get the best one you can.

Try to have MERV 13 at a minimum.
