Denial is not a strategy. We can no longer hide behind the "No Vehicles" rule to claim purity. We must trust the NGT research and demand better waste management and stricter regulation on horse numbers. To save Matheran, we must accept the science. @tourismgoi @iAditiTatkare

As a resident of Matheran, we’ve always taken pride in being Asia’s only automobile-free hill station. We wore the "Pollution-Free" tag like a badge of honour. But the recent NGT report is a rude awakening. The reality is harsher than we thought. @mpcb_official #AQI

It’s not just the air; our water is suffering too. Samples showed the presence of E. coli and Salmonella (bacteria from fecal matter) in our water bodies. Standard safety limit: 0. This poses a serious health risk to us residents and tourists. @iAditiTatkare @tourismgoi

The biggest polluter isn't cars or factories—it is the unmanaged waste from ~460 horses and 200 ponies. They generate 3 tonnes of dung daily. When this dries on kuccha roads, it turns into suspended dust, spiking PM10 & PM2.5 levels beyond safe limits. #raigad

@MTPHereToHelp Look at this @MTPHereToHelp . What message will you send on wireless?

@KhedkarRadha Your call has been reported to Wireless. Traffic will return to normal short

@MTPHereToHelp is this how you manage the traffic? I left from Navi Mumbai at 6:30 and it takes 3 hours to reach Lokhandwala? 33 kms more than 3 hours. Shame! #mumbaitraffic #TraffiUpdate #TraffAlert

@MTPHereToHelp But at the first place why is this even happening? All the traffic police are just busy catching the two wheelers instead of focusing on the traffic jam. Sad truth! Priorities of Mumbai Traffic police understood.

Last night, the Modi government demolished twenty years of MGNREGA in one day. VB–G RAM G isn’t a “revamp” of MGNREGA. It demolishes the rights-based, demand-driven guarantee and turns it into a rationed scheme which is controlled from Delhi. It is anti-state and anti-village by design. MGNREGA gave the rural worker bargaining power. With real options, exploitation and distress migration fell, wages increased, working conditions improved, all while building and reviving rural infrastructure. That leverage is precisely what this government wants to break. By capping work and building in more ways to deny it, VB–G RAM G weakens the one instrument which the rural poor had. We saw what MGNREGA meant during COVID. When the economy shut down and livelihoods collapsed, it kept crores from falling into hunger and debt. And it helped women the most - year after year, women have contributed more than half the person-days. When you ration a jobs programme, it is women, Dalits, Adivasis, landless workers and the poorest OBC communities who get pushed out first. To top it all, this law was bulldozed through Parliament without proper scrutiny. The opposition demand to send the bill to a Standing Committee was rejected. A law that rewires the rural social contract, affecting crores of workers should never be rammed through without serious committee scrutiny, expert consultation, and public hearings. PM Modi’s targets are clear: weaken labour, weaken the leverage of rural India, especially Dalits, OBCs and Adivasis, centralise power, and then sell slogans as “reform”. MGNREGA is among the most successful poverty alleviation and empowerment programmes in the world. We will not let this government destroy the rural poor’s last line of defence. We will stand with workers, panchayats, and states to defeat this move and build a nationwide front to ensure this law is withdrawn.

Women have 50% reservation in local Municipal Council elections, but in reality it’s only on paper. In Matheran, many women file forms only because their husbands ask them to. The truth: very few are genuinely involved in politics or development. #MaharashtraPolitics

@maithilithakur really deserves to be the youth leader of this country? #GodiMedia #Congress #raga #MaithiliThakur

Even the youth leaders of BJP are not able to face the media. @maithilithakur was sleepy and hence she doesn’t remember the blue print! I am really worried about this country. @BJP4India #GodiMedia #MaithiliThakur

Indira Gandhi - India’s first woman PM, assassinated on this day. But don’t expect the media to remember. Real sacrifice doesn’t make headlines anymore. #RahulGandhi #congress #GodiMedia @RahulGandhi @IYC
