I was watching this video by @RainmatterOrg about how Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) cleaned up the Kham river in 5 years. It had become a sewage drain, and they turned it back into a flowing river. Made me think about especially of Delhi's air quality problem.
They mapped 249 waste entry points with drones and installed traps. Rerouted sewage to treatment plants and built new ones. Set up a facility for textile waste from factories. Cleaned the river and discovered springs that were buried under debris. Fixed waste collection across the city, removed 170 dump sites. The municipal commissioner joined weekend cleanups himself. Citizens showed up every Saturday. The key was stopping waste from entering the river in the first place, not just cleaning it.
If a smaller city can pull this off in 5 years with the municipal corporation, NGOs, and citizens working together, I was wondering if governments, businesses, NGOs, and citizens actually collaborate, can't they make a difference in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and many other cities where the Air quality is really bad.
Near Rameshwaram Cafe, the road to Green Avenue (opp. Kundalahalli Colony) has a security post blocking entry, claiming it's private. The board says BBMP Mahadevapura Zone. Is this legal? @CMofKarnataka@BBMPCOMM@mygovkarnataka@KarnatakaVarthe
Sunil Shetty said, "Captain Rohit Sharma is the man of the moment, he sets the match with his selfless knocks. He doesn't want any milestones, he just wants team glory".
Now 20% TCS on foreign travels and purchase, this is the reason why Modi ji finished all his foreign travel dreams in his first 5 years as PM only, even he doesn't trust Nirmala Sitharaman on taxation.
I hadn't imagined a day would come when an American President would issue a statement that an order placed by an Indian company would lead to "one million American jobs over 44 states..."
The reason why we don't see floods/bad infra near Malleshwaram or Rajajinagar side of Bengaluru is votes.
Residents of that part are locals who'll punish govt if they don't work. Bt, areas like Whitefield has migrating crowd who'll never vote in local polls. Thus, nobody cares.
