What will it take to acknowledge our own? Can we read earlier work, without prejudice, and apply it as relevant today? What have we lost out on by only citing the West? #IndianEconomists #development #RethinkingEconomics

China has a large number of High Speed Trains that cover this distance in 35 minutes. Our @IASassociation biradari and politicians go on tax paid study tours but will keep expanding this polluting- car first option that takes 5 times the travel time! We are like sheep to accept it!! We will keep paying higher tolls too. No hope!!

Did Mumbai really spend billions building a seafront just to turn the Arabian Sea into a floating advertising hoarding? Mumbaikars can’t even enjoy a waterfront without being force-fed ads. Is EVERYTHING in this city just another opportunity to monetise public space? Tiring…

Seven years into NCAP and with over 12,000 crores utilised by cities, an analysis shows only 21 out of the 130 cities were able to meet the 2025-26 target of reducing pollution by 40%.
In all, 117 cities still failing to meet the National PM standard.

Another 2 part series on SIR by @naalmot looks at the issue of "logical discrepancy" -- it can potentially get you deleted from draft roll --which has led to a large number being issued notices. This is what turned the sentiment in Delhi (1/n)
IMPORTANT For everyone- to read for governance
The Election Commission has filed its reply in the Supreme Court to the petition on how the three-member Commission functions.
27 pages, approved by all three members. Its argument: every decision was unanimous, and a Commissioner’s note is a “suggestion,” not a decision.

The reality of tree transplantation by @PMCPune 🌳💀
45 of 109 transplanted trees in KP are dead. Residents dispute even this count!
Cut their canopies, damage their roots move them & call it saving trees or disguising tree destruction as #transplantation ?
Who is accountable?

Wrote about some on-going initiatives and those lined up in the coming months.
Have moved to @walkwithwonk on Instagram for updates on upcoming trails.
