Not Just April Fool’s Day, You Are Being Fooled Every Day (youthkiawaaz.com) https://www.youthkiawaaz.com/2023/04/not-just-april-fools-day-you-are-being-fooled-every-day/ Yash Agarwal.

Pravin Darade, Principal Secretary, Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change said that to reduce private vehicles and thus the air pollution from them, the government is making metros to improve public transport in Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur. Not a word was spoken about bus services in these cities...  just after mentioning this about metros, he said that to improve connectivity the Mumbai Coastal Road Project, Sewri-Worli flyover and Mumbai Trans Harbour Link bridge are being made. These are road projects which will encourage and increase the number of private vehicles. ..just after mentioning this about metros, he said that to improve connectivity the Mumbai Coastal Road Project, Sewri-Worli flyover and Mumbai Trans Harbour Link bridge are being made.

By greenwashing you are fooled into thinking that somehow metros and excessive road projects are the only solutions for improving transport and that somehow bus lanes and segregated trams are not practical. False claims are used to justify and enforce these harmful, undemocratic and often unnecessary projects.

The Shree Nagar police in Thane on March 28 registered an FIR against the developer, Squarefeet Real Estate, under IPC Section 430 (mischief by injury to works of irrigation or by wrongfully diverting water), after receiving a complaint from a local activist.)

Thanks to an RTI,.. response documents show that on November 8, 2022, while digging a bore well at plot No C-30 on Road No. 16 in Wagle Industrial Estate, the workers punctured the water tunnel. The tunnel carries water from Balkum to the Bhandup purification centre. A civic team visited the site the same day and confirmed the damage; however, the officials neither filed a police complaint nor took action against the developer, the activist said.

for the repairs.. water supply to Mumbai and Thane city will be slashed by 15 per cent for a month, starting 31st March 2023
