This is Mula-Mutha river immediate downstream of Pune. Green stinking water, Thick white foam crust & Oceans of garbage all around. And in RFD, PMC is spending our thousands of Crs to decorate it with dead concrete walls & cutting thousands of trees. WHY? @navalMH @suchetadalal

This is Chaharbagh Street in Isfahan, 200 kms away from Tehran, Iran. Look at the quality of street, detailing and green canopy for walking.

As I keep saying, this is a much bigger crisis than LPG. A woman in Pune was kil!ed by a pack of stray d0gs early this morning. CCTV footage shows the incident occurred around 2:19 AM. How many more before this becomes a public safety crisis?
