The initiative, from their early investigations show that at times during summer, the concrete exposed surfaces of River Front Project in Pune were upto 22 degrees Celsius hotter than some of natural river bank locations. From ongoing initiative by Jeevitnadi volunteers in Pune.

Tara Tanmayi writes about an interesting Citizens Science Initiative in Pune to understand a relatively unknown impact of river front development project in Pune. Read more:

Oh the irony!
Govt of India (NOT any pesky environmentalist!) stresses the importance of riparian vegetation for the health of a river, and explains why rivers need natural green banks.

The same Govt of India also destroys riparian forests for Riverfront Development projects and replaces them with concrete banks and artificial lawns.

@bhavin_h @MumbaiPolice @MTPHereToHelp @nitin_gadkari @OfficeOfNG In addition to the usual suspects, I have been observing so many MH02, 04 vehicles in Pune breaking rules/traffic violations over last few days in Pune. What's Up?

[Sarang Yadwadkar @SVYadwadkar]

This is today's position of Pune's upstream dams
Zero inflow till date
Only 12.45% balance storage
Almost 25% of what was this time last year.
Guys, difficult days might be ahead.

अजून किती खालच्या थराला जाणार आहे ?

सगळा भूगर्भ खोदून काढून, भूगर्भातील झरे बुजवून, उंच उंच इमारती बांधून, त्यात 2 BHK, 3 BHK फ्लॅट बांधून, त्यांच्या जाहिराती करून लोकांना ते करोडोंना विकून, करोडो रु कमवून आपण किती श्रीमंत होणार आहोत ?

उद्या ट��कर बोलवून, पाण्यासाठी वणवण फिरून..

The RFD site has turned into a scorching heat zone.
A project meant to bring people closer to the riverside now pushes them away.

When the design itself is flawed, the very purpose of the project stands defeated.

Tribals crying for justice. 💔

Heart-wrenching. Tribals are forced
to adopt every form of resistance; standing in water protest, hanging protest & funeral pyre protests to oppose displacement.

But neither the govt, nor judiciary, nor media are listening to them. ALL ARE BLIND.

[Bhaumik Gowande @bhaumikgowande]

Pune flooding should be studied as a masterclass in destroying a hill city’s natural hydrology. A city sitting ~560m above sea level shouldn’t flood, unless you obliterate its rivers, hills, and drainage for real estate.

The real estate lobby has systematically destroyed Pune, once known as the Oxford of the East and even considered a potential capital of India before Delhi.

Footpaths in Pune.
MSEB/BSNL junction boxes placed randomly,
Cables lying around,
Huge pits in the middle,
No space for common man to walk safely!

This is Mula-Mutha river immediate downstream of Pune.
Green stinking water, Thick white foam crust & Oceans of garbage all around.
And in RFD, PMC is spending our thousands of Crs to decorate it with dead concrete walls & cutting thousands of trees.
WHY?
@navalMH
@suchetadalal

[Chaitanya Ket @ChaitanyaKet]

Just days ago, the PMC Commissioner had warned us.

From roadsides to tekdis, from riverbanks to open spaces, large trees are being felled one after another.

PMC acting under the directions of political leaders, appears helplessly complicit in uprooting Pune’s green cover.

[prajakta mahajan @ultra__sonic]

Last week, someone set fire to the riparian zone of the Ram-Mula confluence. We went there to water the trees and plants, the local administration has still done nothing. @PuneRivers @Jeevitnadi @ChaloPmc @MrMcgreely @PMCPune @Dev_Fadnavis @AUThackeray

[sushma date @sushmadate]

Ground report by award winning environment journalist @bahardutt shows that #RFDPune
1) Will increase flood risk due to narrowing of river and concreting flood plains
2) Riparian forests have been cleared for real estate projects on flood plains
3) Mula-Mutha remain horribly polluted as sewage water continues to flow in the rivers

4500cr of taxpayer money spent on THIS! 😠
