Marine Drive faces the open Arabian Sea- tetrapods break waves. That’s ‘wave defense’.
Mangroves absorb tidal surge and monsoon runoff in creeks. That’s ‘flood defense.’
2 different problems, bhai. You’re flexing a helmet and asking why parachutes exist.
26/7 happened on the OTHER side of the city -exactly where BKC paved the Mithi’s mangroves - 1,000 dead.
Hindmata, Sion, Kurla still drown every monsoon like clockwork.
Name one ‘first world city’ that paved its wetlands instead of restoring them. NYC didn’t after Sandy. Rotterdam didn’t. Singapore didn’t. They learned.
But we won’t, neither from our experience nor from that of ‘1st World Cities’ that we wish to emulate.

If mangroves are the ONLY flood barrier, then I wonder why Marine Drive aka Queen's Necklace has never flooded. Even during high tides and heavy rainfall, the sea tries its best, only to meet Tetrapods. And the following concrete embankment. At max a few waves splash through and kekdas end up figuring out ki BC dariya kidhar gaya?! This entire narrative that we can't engineer anti-flood provisions is evil. All of SoBo is reclaimed land on backwaters. It has been like this for 200 years now. The city is still here. Not just surviving, but growing. And we'll continue to push our limits. Every mangrove in the way will be cut. Every tree will have to go. You are in a city. Not a jungle. And despite all our greed, 1/3rd of our land is reserved and marked as a Forest (SGNP), where four dozen bibtyas (leopards) live in harmony with us. Monkeys, deers, gharial etc, all are still among us. Stop your BS Greta Syndrome. We will build. We will build as much as we want. We will plow through your ecosystem to create a new one. And we won't apologise for being normal. We have every right to be a first world city.

What kind of nautanki is this man? 😭 Instead of planting trees, they have made cooling zones with Modi’s big face where people are wiping sweat off the faces of people forcefully 😭😭😭

The situation is grim. This is Mahindra Towers at Worli. You can literally drive whichever way you want thanks to utter shamelessness of @MTPHereToHelp @MumbaiPolice. Showed up once when complained before put to flimsy broken plastic barricades which go off with a dog barking

In 2017, Paris was struggling with severe air pollution.
The government introduced a major plan to add bike lanes on every road and brought in rules to restrict car sales.
Just 8 years later, the city is now pollution free.
Yet in India, I don’t see anyone seriously working to solve the root cause of air pollution.
They are too busy sitting in AC cabins, warming their seat

PM is coming to BLR tomorrow, and roads are already blocked throughout the city. Traffic is insane.
If you're a VIP, behave like one and land at the venue via a chopper. If you want to behave like a common man, commute like one.
Inconveniencing others is utterly stupid.

@suchetadalal @CratersOfMumbai @mybmc No one really cares but for themselves. So the mindset of narrow minded people. They will not help to you moreover but grovel at all things wrong, yet not lift a finger to set it right.

It is extraordinary to read the negativity- are people too lazy to use their phones to click and report? I am sure the same people who have all the negative posts about a nice experiment by @mybmc have no issue using their phone nonstop for reels, selfies, video calls etc while in public places. Click a few garbage heaps please and test the system- you may help start a cultural revolution to inculcate better civic sense!!

Nitin Gadkari:
🗣️ “In the Road Ministry, we have money, but not enough projects to work on.
— India doesn’t suffer from LACK of MONEY, it suffers from Shortage of Honest Politicians willing to work for the country."
That statement will sting many!

At what point did the @MumbaiPolice @MTPHereToHelp literally reach a point where they simply don’t give a damn?!?
Utter carnage on Mumbai streets
People driving on the wrong side of the streets like it’s their birthright
Two wheelers literally not caring about traffic lights like they’re in a video game wt multiple lives
Total mayhem
Have u guys simply lost control or simply don’t care anymore?
Can’t u seriously enforce traffic rules or is that expecting way too much?

This might be controversial…
But some youngsters like to do stunts. Lack of a safe environment is making them do it on public roads, which is dangerous and against the rules. If you block one road, they will find another one.
Why cannot we set up a parking lot like this for youngsters to wear ALL safety gear and indulge at their own risk? After all we do allow motorcycle, racing and car racing on racing circuits like Buddh International Circuit, Sri Permbathur etc.
Don’t try to stop it . Regulate it

While we sleep, JCBs excavate.
While we stay awake, chainsaws cut trees one by one.
The H-CITI flyovers around KBR are a slow death sentence to #Hyderabad’s last green lung.
Citizens, the time to act is now.
Be scientific-factual-peaceful.
But #SaveKBR

This man lost his hand, but life still expected him to work, earn and survive like nothing happened.
But when a man loses his hand, nobody asks how he will survive. Nobody pauses the bills. Nobody carries his burden.
This is the reality of manhood most people never acknowledge.
Men are loved for what they provide — not for what they suffer.
A broken man is still expected to be useful. Still expected to provide. Still expected to stay silent and keep moving forward while carrying pain nobody cares to understand.
This man did not stop because society never allows men the privilege of collapsing.
Respect the men silently fighting battles every single day.

People with good heart usually die in their 30s - 40s. But they don’t get cremated or buried until they 70s - 80s

Evening at Five Gardens:
Chirping birds. Shade. Slower pace.
This is what cities can offer when ecology is part of planning.
Urban #biodiversity isn’t extra.
It’s what makes spaces #livable.

“I am a CM - Common Man, not a VIP,” says the Telangana Chief Minister, who has set an example for the entire Indian polity by ending VIP culture.
No traffic is stopped for the CM in Hyderabad or anywhere in the state 🫡

India collected ₹54,000 crore in road tolls in FY2024
also collected ₹3.6 lakh crore in fuel taxes
also collected ₹1.7 lakh crore in GST on vehicles
Total road-related taxes : ~₹5 lakh crore/year
Total NHAI road budget : ₹1.7 lakh crore
You paid for the road 3 times over.
Then paid again at the toll booth.
where did the other ₹3.3 lakh crore go?
