Do read this sensitive morally resonant essay by #AakashJoshi
It explains the root-cause of the tragic Hauz Rani fire accident better than anything I read
Privilege that condemns the vast “other” to sub-human life It's the lethal inequality of our cities

CPIM is actively resisting BJP's bulldozer politics in Jadavpur, Tiljala, Topsia by taking to the streets. It's honestly a heartening sight for all those who are disgusted by the Sanghi nonsense that has taken over Bengal.

[barathi @squarehaunting]

Why are hotels not responsible for the safety of their guests but foreigners from specific countries are blamed instead? Why does the govt not bulldoze poorly constructed hotels by wealthy businessmen but doesn't hesitate to mass evict the poor?

(Rhetorical)

[IANS @ians_india]

Delhi: On the fire incident in Malviya Nagar, former Congress MLA from Malviya Nagar Yoganand Shastri says, "What you're saying is absolutely correct. People from abroad, especially Afghanistan, Iran, and African countries, come here for medical treatment and often stay longer, visiting places like the Taj Mahal. The greed of local people has increased significantly. Earlier, rooms were rented out for ₹500; now they cost ₹2,000–2,500. This incident also happened because of that..."

[CPI (M) @cpimspeak]

When the bulldozers came for Jadavpur's hawkers, CPI(M) stood in their way.
They were forced to retreat.✊

The intervening night of June 2-3 witnessed a determined struggle led by the CPI(M) to defend the livelihoods of the hawkers of Jadavpur Station. Acting on eviction notices issued by the railway authorities, bulldozers arrived to carry out the demolition and eviction drive.
At this critical moment, CPI(M) State Committee members Srijan Bhattacharya and Sudip Snegupta took the lead, standing firmly alongside the hawkers and their families. Joined by local residents and advocate Shamim Ahamad, they physically blocked the bulldozers and resisted the eviction attempt.
The resolute intervention of the CPI(M) forced the authorities to back down. The bulldozers ultimately had to retreat.

One day you are playing with the careers of children in CBSE.

Broken boundary walls, ponds of #leachate, and a mountain #Gurugram cannot waste away. Reality of #Bandhwari #landfill
I may have just begun reporting on this, but for thousands of residents and environmentalists, its a long-running battle.

Just read this story. The rigging is so brazen to favour Adani. This is just the teeny tiny sliver of the tip of the iceberg. The whole economy of the country now runs on patronage to the cronies. Even lower level cronies like Vedanta are getting shafted in the process.

The world generated 2.6 billion tonnes of waste in 2022 — a figure we didn't expect to hit until 2030. 📈 Without action, waste volumes will reach 3.9 billion tonnes by 2050, undermining jobs and growth.
