(1/3) Cities are no longer cooling down once the sun sets — turning heat stress into a round-the-clock occurrence. For instance Delhi's heat pattern is driven by land use that clearly influences the land surface temperature (LST). Night temperatures do drop, but not evenly.

Union Minister for Finance & Corporate Affairs Smt. @nsitharaman chairs the 12th Pre-Budget Consultation with the experts and stakeholders from the #Urbanisation sector in connection with the forthcoming Union Budget 2026-27, in New Delhi, today. The meeting was also attended by Secretary @MoHUA_India; the Chief Economic Adviser to the Government of India, and senior officials of @FinMinIndia.

@SECBAD_CANTT the appalling lack of dustbins at Burton Road Ward 8 - as per your collector, there is door to door collection so dustbins were removed. That makes absolutely NO sense pls reinstate. I asked 14 households, and shops. @SwachSurvekshan

@SECBAD_CANTT there are absolutely NO dustbins in WARD 8 (Risala Bazaar, Burton Road, Steward Road) and people are throwing waste wherever they feel like. As a result waste is routinely being burnt posting a serious health hazard. Please replace dustbins, it has been 2 years

@SECBAD_CANTT @SwachSurvekshan @SwachhBharatGov Due to lack of bins, garbage spreading all over and people tossing their rubbish where they feel like. Ward 8 I Burton Road @SECBAD_CANTT @the_hindu - the dustbins have vanished and zero action is being taken citing door to door collection.

@SECBAD_CANTT @SwachSurvekshan @SwachhBharatGov Ward 8, other end of Risala Bazaar - no dustbin and an absolute menance, people burn rubbish and the waste spreads all over @SECBAD_CANTT pls take action asap- health hazard too and absolutely ugly @SwachSurvekshan @SwachhBharatGov

@SECBAD_CANTT Here are images from Ward 8 - that has lacked dustbins for over two years. It is suprising how this cantonment was awarded the @SwachSurvekshan award? @SwachhBharatGov - sharing images in a thread along with locations Ward 8 - Steward Road, before Risala Bazaar

#Thread on #Tiruchendur erosion Of recently, we might have come across the news that a lot of erosion has happened right next to the famous Murugan temple in Tiruchendur. In this thread of maps, I would discuss the causes and possible solutions

A short #Thread of photos that I had clicked, interpretations, & maps while flying between #Thiruvananthapuram & #Bengaluru I know it is a privileged statement, but when one does air travel, please do take full advantage of window seats & teach children the #geography below!

@GHMCOnline @SECBAD_CANTT when do you plan to place dustbins? Old ones had holes and removed nearly a year ago. Refer Stewart Road and Burton Road. Complaints on app get closed with zero resolution @SevadalSECD @secundera

Impressed with Bolarum police station and helpline action on Diwali Day. Raised a complaint on their Whatsapp chat + helpline. Was a minor request - bursting of crackets well past the deadline. They reached within 15 minutes and got the household to wrap up Thanks @hydcitypolice
