The real auto mafia problem in Mumbai:

They block access roads outside railway stations, prevent Ola/Uber from picking up passengers and decide who gets to leave the station.

Borivali. Bandra. Thane. Same story.

Who gave them this power?

And why is the government still looking the other way?

Meet Matin Sheikh from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in Maharashtra.

He blocks train passage with baseball bat for Namaz.

@NeoTheUno @RoadsOfMumbai Okay, so what about the cars on the opposite side with high beams running. Do all roads have dividers that block lights from opposite vehicles . Using a auto dimming orvm does not help end the menace. Such features are also restricted to higher trims

[Siddharth Zunjarrao @siddharth_z]

Regular menace with 80% of vehicles plying on mumbai roads these days @MumbiPolice this needs to be taken up. People should have ways of clicking pictures and posting to end such nuisance

Night driving in Mumbai is becoming a nightmare because of vehicles using blinding aftermarket headlights.

MH01DX8786 was constantly tailgating me from Bhandup to Mulund Toll Naka.

The glare was so intense that I literally had to turn my rear-view mirror away just to keep driving safely.

You shouldn't have to choose between seeing the road ahead and protecting your eyes from the vehicle behind you.

If possible, please check this vehicle @MumbaiPolice.

COVID was a painful memory for many, but it proved jackpot for few people. While India was fighting its worst challenge ever, a man sitting in the USA was quietly building his army in India

An army of activists.

@IndiaWeatherMan Keep up the Good Work. Do not fall prey to instigations by idiots and steer away from political topics, be it parties, infra, development.
We all genuinely value your weather inputs and updates.

Irony of scarcity amidst abundance
©️Shrikant Soman
Mumbai needs around 30 inches of rainfall to meet its yearly requirement. Currently it receives around 100 inches of rain. But our lakes get barely full by end of season.
The rest of the rainfall water flows down to the sea.
Looking at this flowing Dahisar river , a wild thought comes to mind about building a reservoir just before the creek and storing this water. We will then have 2 years water stock with each rain.
Actually it is not a wild thought at all.
Read some excerpts from my forthcoming article

Bridging the Sea: India’s Mega Kalpasar Dream for Water and Prosperity
©️Shrikant Soman

Imagine building a colossal sixty-kilometer-long wall directly across the sea to capture billions of liters of freshwater and transform a massive gulf into a flourishing freshwater lake. This is the astonishing vision behind the Kalpasar Project in Gujarat, an engineering marvel set to become one of the largest man-made freshwater reservoirs in the world. By harnessing the flow of major rivers and joining forces with Dutch technology, this ambitious mission promises not only to eradicate water scarcity and boost irrigation but also to drastically cut travel distances with a sixteen-lane highway and railway corridor, heralding a new era of infrastructure and growth.

Bangladeshis are settling at Mahim causeway after getting expelled from Gharib Nagar Bandra by Railway authorities!
Some local Netas or @mybmc Babus possibly helping to squatt new area!
We urge Mayor @TawdeRitu n @AshwiniBhide to keep vigil! @AmitShah @AmeetSatam @MumbaiPolice

[atul kasbekar @atulkasbekar]

My suggestions to the @MTPHereToHelp to get Mumbai back to civilised ways:

- police issue fair warning that the following will be strictly enforced from a stated date

- driving on the wrong side of the road results in automatic confiscation of vehicle.
Can be recovered once at say 15% of vehicle book value.
Similar offence again results in vehicle being impounded n auctioned publicly

- if you have an accident running a light or for wrong side driving; then the driver who was correct is automatically absolved of any punishment.
The onus is completely on the idiot breaking a very basic rule of the road

- running a light should result in crippling fines commensurate wt the value of the vehicle; like in Switzerland.
There, for example, a Ferrari breaking a rule is fined significantly higher for the same offence than a cheaper vehicle is

- A 100 vehicles seized by the police and I’m certain people will think twice before they break the rules

Further suggestions most welcome Mumbaikars

Let’s not tolerate this highly dangerous epidemic anymore

Action
Now…!!!

[Singh Varun @singhvarun]

I don’t know what kind of cleanliness drive does @drmmumbaicr has asked his men to follow at Dadar station, I noticed this man allegedly cleaning the platform, throw bottles on track and sweep the platform. He picked them up from the dust bin and threw them on tracks.

Life is Cheap

Who cares if this massive Barricade on a Under Construction Housing site had fallen & killed someone on the busy road?

Maybe the kin of the dead would be given 5 lakhs.

@rushikesh_agre_ ...and we are having climate summit week in this same city, and talking about solutions which @mybmc itself failing to implement. @Mumbai_Climate ... How about you take the AQI issue up proactively?

@Charu_on_X_x @Dev_Fadnavis Amazing. The same MMRDA who is playing with the lives of people and ignoring complaints from MLAs

[Siddharth Zunjarrao @siddharth_z]

@MMRDAOfficial @beastboymayurr @mybmc @MulundPS @Dev_Fadnavis @Devendra_Office @mihirkotecha Your previous reply to a similar post is an evidence that you are simply fooling around with people and labelling alert citizens as mischief mongers and alleging them of spreading misinformation. You have ruined every inch of this city with concrete debris and potholed roads.

@mumbaimatterz @mybmc @fpjindia @MNCDFbombay @chakachakdadar @mashrujeet Just 8 lpg illegal cylinders? That's it? We can easily see those numbers at roadside vendors within a distance of 500 metres.
