#WATCH | #Mizoram: The construction of Sairang railway station has posed significant challenges, according to architect Vivek Pai. He stated that the station is among the most difficult projects he has undertaken due to persistent soil slippage. Heavy rainfall in the region further complicates the work, making construction nearly impossible for about eight months each year.

(1/3) #Mumbai, like many Indian cities, faces recurring episodes of poor #airquality, posing health and environmental risks.

Parking is something that needs to be tackled head on otherwise we risk losing our cities..

Madgaon Railway station 4 and 5 number platform are in terrible condition. Many senior citizens and differently able persons are unable to reach the train properly due to condition of platform and no weather protection. Request @AshwiniVaishnaw @KonkanRailway @RailMinIndia

@FasBeam Not missing cause I already own one!!! Perhaps the best car ever..

We have too many people to thank for the skewed ratio of roads to the vehicular and human population in Mumbai and Pune… let’s hope the better sense prevails before it’s too late!! #Traffic #trafficjam #mumbai #pune #activist #politics

[Vivek Pai @vivekpai41]

Mumbai now has 46 lac vehicles while Pune now has 42 lac registered vehicles! This is other than the vehicles registered outside being used in these cities.. if some day even half of the Mumbaikars and Punekars decide to take out their vehicles.. the entire cities will be jammed!

It was a great experience to be a part of the Panel discussion on Improving Walkability in Indian Cities under The Urban Agenda series hosted by @manishanataraj! #indiancities #mobility #SustainableDevelopment #walking #pedestrianisation

@ActorMadhavan Was talking to my childhood friends and reminiscing on #SeaHawks series on DD metro back in the days! Most amazing cast, story and acting!! More importantly that series brought you!! Was wondering what happened to Abheet (your costar)?? Are you guys in touch now?

[Vivek Pai @vivekpai41]

Finally Mumbai has crossed 45 lakh vehicles which is more than 300% of what Mumbai roads can carry! If even one day half of Mumbaikars would take out their car, the entire city would go to standstill!

[Vivek Pai @vivekpai41]

Slowly and steady car purchase are reducing and this is the right time that the government should focus on first mile and last mile connectivity!

Just presented the proposal for traffic decongestion of Marol under our Dream Marol Project to our Hon. MP Shri. Gajanan Kirtikar. Excited for positive changes soon! #MarolDevelopment #TrafficSolutions #DreamMarolProject

Just Fire Audit is not enough, we need a new expert authority who knows what to look for and has the power to implement and enforce compliance just like SEAC and SEIA.. @mieknathshinde @Dev_Fadnavis @AjitPawarSpeaks @mybmc

[Vivek Pai @vivekpai41]

Fire evacuation is important and yet ignored aspect especially in congested cities like Mumbai.. a lot of old buildings do not have fire safety norms We need an authority which can audit these old buildings for disaster preparednes @mieknathshinde @Dev_Fadnavis @AjitPawarSpeaks

Time to put is congestion charging on private modes of transport in the metro corridor! @mumbai_2 Sir any thoughts?

[Vivek Pai @vivekpai41]

I had predicted this a few years back that these metro lines will go for a loss! The only proposed profitable lines will be Metro 3 followed by metro 4. https://t.co/XyAwqvmRyo

In 2021, as minister for Environment & CC, I had the opportunity to initiate Maharashtra’s Electric Vehicle Policy 2021.
Today’s illustration in newspaper shows policy success.

Although, the current illegal regime tried to play around with our policy, they couldn’t change the basis of it yet and thus, the numbers.

Our policy was worked on by experts and we kept it dynamic, with feedback from the industry and reviewing it every 3 months.
