The Cooum river is often seen as a polluted drain running through Chennai. But it is not just a polluted river, it is part of Chennai’s water system. Understanding this is the first step toward fixing it. Follow the story of Cooum in our new video here: youtu.be/ADUY0eb2W3k?si…

A Hidden Rule Could Greenlight Bengaluru’s ₹18,000 Crore Tunnel Road youtu.be/do68zwbSEnk?si… The Bengaluru Metropolitan Land Transport Authority, created under the Bengaluru Metropolitan Land Transport Authority Act, was meant to coordinate transport projects. But Rule 24 allows projects started between 2022–2025 to be automatically approved — without scrutiny. That could include the Bengaluru Tunnel Road Project. ⚠️ The rules are still in draft, so they can still be reconsidered by the government. Tag your MLA and ask them to review Rule 24. 🎥 @siddaramaiah @CMofKarnataka @KARailway @DKShivakumar @RLR_BTM @Sowmyareddyr @krishnabgowda @mkrishnappabjp @Tejasvi_Surya @dineshgrao @WFRising @SarjapuraRWA

Four big ideas from India Civic Summit 2026 👇 • Tikender Panwar: Reclaim the “right to the city” through real decentralisation. • Dr Lakshmi Narasimhan: Urban governance must be “hope infrastructure.” • Panel on tech & data: Make ward budgets and city processes transparent. • Dinesh Victor: Liveable cities = high civic participation. Better cities need active citizens. @fomrra @chennaicorp @bhuvanaraj @mbalakrish @fmrock @Chitla_Rising @dayatiger197312 @elcot1234 @JananiVenkitesh @NizhalShade @Mylapore_Times @Vincentsjotting @_pavithrasriram youtube.com/playlist?list=…
