Instead of putting basic safety rules in place and enforcing their compliance, the Govt finds it much easier to offer ex-gracia payments that are useless to passengers who are dead.
An ex-gratia of Rs. 2 lakh from PMNRF would be given to the next of kin of each of the deceased due to the bus fire in Nashik. The injured would be given Rs. 50,000: PM @narendramodi
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged all the people an arm and a leg just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

Preventing the degradation of our tourist sites is a necessity. Adamant weights of trash are found here everyday. Responsible tourism can prevent imposing a new identity on them. We must understand appropriate conduct to follow and individually reduce polluting a tourist location

New rule: If a driver complains about a cyclist riding in the middle of the street on a street without a bike lane, the city has to put a protected bike lane on that street immediately. No council approval needed. We must get the bikes out or the way of these VIPs

Let’s repeat that to ourselves until it dawns on us how deeply rotten we’ve become as a society, for having basically dehumanised and criminalised an entire community.
This is a deeply shamed & sickening state of affairs in our country. 💔
Winds of change, @narendramodi 's friend @ScottMorrisonMP also voted out in Australia although he cooked Modi's favourite Khichdi to get #Australian Indian Votes. Earlier, Modi's good friend @Trump whom he endorsed was voted out in USA.
The culture of a city is reflected in how fast a pedestrian crosses the street and how much guilt they are feeling for blocking the traffic.
The goal should be a normal pace and zero guilt. The reality in many places is a jog and a hand wave to apologize for existing.
Streets designed for parked and moving vehicles have many costs for society. Urban heat (+ its consequences) can be added to that list!
