today marks the 11th day of social activist Amit Bhatnagar's hunger strike. he has lost over 6 kg while standing with Adivasi families in Bundelkhand resisting the Ken–Betwa Link Project by staging a 'Fansi Satyagraha.' these communities have lost their homes, forests and livelihoods, while many are still fighting for fair compensation and rehabilitation that was promised but never delivered. save Adivasis from Modi's best friends Adani and Ambani. this deserves national attention. #KenBetwa #Bundelkhand #AdivasiRights

The predictability of monsoonal rainfall, and weather in general, is no less crucial for farmers than the rainfall itself. This is why weather advisory services provided to farmers free-of-cost were crucial. But the Modi govt terminated such services based on bad advise #ElNiño

So much of the language in the environmental sector we use today is that of abstraction and frameworks / workshops are created in imaginary worlds / futures. Where is the skin in the game?

@PaulSalopek @veditum Thanks, Paul! :)

Previously unreported records show how global auto giants Volkswagen, Mercedes Benz & Maruti Suzuki succeeded in secretly lobbying and persuading the Modi Government to rewrite India's environmental regulations. My investigation for @Article14live article-14.com/post/how-globa…

India's environmental sector now wants to just do 'trainings', & 'capacity building' for people. It doesn't want to engage with issues. Then what to do with the built capacity? This is being driven from the top of the pyramid by 'funders' because it's "safe".

Day 17 of Sonam Sir’s Hunger-Strike. He has started losing muscle mass and is in immense pain. Like everyone else, I begged him to end his fast. He calmly replied, “Don’t ask me to end my fast. Ask the govt why they won’t even have a dialogue.”

Yes, climate change, city traffic and many other things are human created. Marginalised people are unsurprisingly present at this violent interface. That does not mean that courts, political parties & governments attack them when just about anything goes wrong! Ridiculous.

Shame on @Swiggy for treating its delivery partners this way. We placed an order from Baskin Robbins that should have arrived in 45 minutes. Instead, after 50 minutes, the delivery executive came to our doorstep without the order because the restaurant had been closed since the afternoon. He had video proof, proof that he had reached the location, and messages sent to Swiggy asking for help—but Swiggy never responded. We even called the restaurant ourselves, and they confirmed they had been closed for hours. So why was Swiggy still accepting orders? We got our refund, but that’s not the issue. Despite repeatedly telling Swiggy that the delivery executive was not at fault and had all the evidence, they still slapped him with an ₹850 penalty. To make matters worse, Swiggy customer care disconnected our call while we were trying to resolve the issue. They also kept insisting they were trying to contact the delivery executive, even though he was standing right in front of us and didnt receive a single call. This is unacceptable. A company worth billions should not be forcing hardworking delivery partners to pay for its own system failures. Stop punishing the people who keep your business running and take responsibility for your own mistakes. #Swiggy #DeliveryPartners #GigWorkers @SwiggyCares
