Pune Metro vs Nature? Citizens Raise Alarm Pune’s metro expansion is now at the centre of a growing environmental debate. Citizens and activists allege large-scale tree cutting, lack of transparency, and limited public consultation in project approvals. Experts warn that such infrastructure projects could lead to massive carbon emissions, requiring millions of trees to offset the damage. Concerns are also rising over the potential impact on Pune’s climate, with fears of worsening urban heat and long-term weather changes. Citizen groups are demanding a review of the project, eco-friendly alternatives, and greater public participation before further approvals. Is development coming at the cost of Pune’s environment? @PMCPune @Dev_Fadnavis @mohol_murlidhar @AnneAnish @ameetgsingh #Pune #PuneMetro #Environment #ClimateChange #UrbanDevelopment #SaveTrees #PuneNews #PMC #Sustainability #IndiaNews #GreenPune #MetroProject #BreakingNews

This shocking case of a 10-year-old Hindu boy being kidnapped, converted to Islam in a madrassa and remain confined there for 8 years, was one of the triggers behind @KanoongoPriyank’s complaint to UP govt regarding madrassas But an Allahabad high court judge criticised him instead, saying what about “lynching of Muslims” and stayed the order Kidnapping and conversion of Hindu minors didn’t trigger milord? This is like Pakistani system operating in India

We are helping this boy reclaim his lost childhood. Everyone must know his story - that is directly linked to the controversial comment recently made by a Allahabad high court judge The boy is Vivek At the age of 10, he went missing from home. While playing with some strangers, he boarded a train with them and ended up 10-s of kilometres away from his village That group took him to a madrassa in Muzaffarnagar. Vivek was enrolled, ritually circumcised, renamed Mohd Umar, made to memorise Quran daily Eight years passed All this while, Vivek told madrassa managers the name of his village and his parents. But no effort was made to reunite him with his family When he turned 18, madrassa decided to send him to a Gulf country for labour work. When Vivek went to passport office, his fingerprint revealed his Aadhaar-linked details - his real name and his address in a village in UP’s Hardoi Passport official alerted the pradhan of a nearby Hindu village who alerted the police. Eventually, Vivek’s parents were traced and he was reunited with his family @KanoongoPriyank took cognisance of the incident, raided the madrassa and issued directions asking all government-aided madrasas in UP to disclose how many children of Hindu parents were enrolled with them As revealed yesterday, none has complied. Instead, an Allahabad High Court judge made a controversial remark on Kanoongo over this very order I contacted Vivek recently. He is now 20 He wants to resume his education He is practically illiterate and works as welding labour We - @SewaNyaya and @RashtraJyoti - are going to help Vivek return to school He will reclaim the years stolen from him. Will share details soon.

There is a rumour that a new nuclear power plant will be built close Sharavathi backwaters in Sagar taluk of Shimoga district. Sagara MLA Belur Gopalakrishna met @CMofKarnataka @siddaramaiah demanding that the proposed project be scrapped. Karnataka’s Western Ghats already has a nuclear power plant at Kaiga in Uttara Kannada district. Can’t have one more so close to that location.
