Failed Plantations & Fake Promises: A CAG report found that barely 33% of plantations in #Uttarakhand survived, exposing the myth that compensatory afforestation can replace mature forests lost to development projects. At a time when Uttarakhand has already witnessed extensive deforestation & loss of its green cover, the proposed felling of 700 more trees for the Dehradun–Kimadi–Mussoorie road expansion demands public scrutiny. Before another 700 trees are sacrificed, citizens have every right to know that if two-thirds of replacement plantations fail, who will replace the forests & green cover we are losing forever?

मोदी सरकार ने राजस्थान के नाम पर अदानी के पॉवर प्लांटों तक कोयला पहुचाने के लिए हसदेव अरण्य में जिस केंते एक्सटेंशन कोल ब्लॉक की वन स्वीकृति दी है उसके समृद्ध वन क्षेत्र को इस तस्वीर से समझिए। 1762 हेक्टेयर वन क्षेत्र को कोयला खदान में बदलने के लिए 7 लाख से अधिक प्राकृतिक साल जंगल के पेड़ो को काटा जाएगा । पहले से संचालित दो खदानों में इसी तरह का जैव विविधता से समृद्ध 10,500 एकड़ समृद्ध जंगल जमीन का विनाश किया जा चुका है । अदानी मोदी सरकार की मदद से सिर्फ़ PSU, निजी कंपनियों को ही एनएचआई हथिया रहा है बल्कि इस देश के लोगों की सांसे भी छीन रहा है।

Hello @sardesairajdeep

Memories from 10 years ago And 10 years later... My BMC is yet to learn how to spell

I am grateful to the Times of India for covering my letter sent to PM Shri Narendra Modi re rampant mining activities around the Asan Conservation Reserve, the first & only Ramsar site in our state of #Uttarakhand. It is noteworthy to highlight that the illegal mining is posing serious threats not only to Asan Reserve but to the wider Yamuna ecosystem as well. This development is an outcome of my recent 35-page letter to the PM seeking urgent intervention to address environmental concerns & ensure long-term protection of this ecologically significant landscape. Let us join hands to preserve our pristine but threatened natural resources. Thank you! @narendramodi @PMOIndia Thank you @shivaniazadTOI for the story!

Want to know the logic with Zeeshan Ansari selection. Quota? If not Sai K, one of Suthar or Dubey should have been part of the squad, giving them the exposure to the conditions ahead of the Test series. To include a player with zero FC games in last 6 years is hard to understand.

Please don't stop at that Mr. Deora @milinddeora, the state govt should not allow redevelopment of old building into high rises in narrow roads which I guess is happening Mumbai and your party is part of the govt.

We hope our Fire Brigade is well prepared in Navi Mumbai since so many high rises are coming up. @NMMConline @NMMCCommr

Mohammed Riyazuddin, 61, a mattress shop owner who gave all his mattresses and bedsheets away in the rescue operation during the deadly blaze killing 21 people. His quick thinking and courage saved many lives. "Aaj sab kuch de dijiye humne," he told @htTweets

This is Armaan, Owner of mattress shop in Malviya Nagar. He laid out all his mattresses so that people trapped in the burning hotel could jump onto them and save their lives. in this way, several lives were saved too. Armaan is a real life Hero❤️

When systems fail, individual heroes rise. These are people who rescued people and administered CPR in the hauz rani fire . (L to R) Amir Khan, Mohd Shoaib, Wasim Raja and Mohd Afzal

When an Olympian and one of India’s most celebrated women athletes like @Phogat_Vinesh has to approach the courts just to secure a fair opportunity in selection trials, it raises serious questions about the system our sportspersons are forced to navigate. Athletes should be fighting for medals, not against politics, uncertainty, and bureaucratic hurdles for basic sporting rights. If this can happen to someone of Vinesh Phogat’s stature, one can only imagine the struggles faced by ordinary athletes without recognition or influence. What makes her journey even more inspiring is that even after entering public life as an MLA, she continues to compete at the highest level instead of stepping away from sport. Her resilience, discipline, and commitment send a powerful message to young India - that public responsibility and personal ambition can go hand in hand, and that one should never stop chasing excellence. India’s athletes deserve fairness, dignity, transparency, and a system where merit comes before politics. Vinesh Phogat’s struggle is not just her personal battle - it is a reminder of the challenges faced by countless sportspersons across the country.

In Pune, activists say decades of infrastructure-led concretisation have devastated #treecover even as the city records rising temperatures and more trees face the axe. Citizens continue to resist projects that threaten the city’s already fragile #ecology. questionofcities.org/do-not-…

Masterclass on how we 'value' #tree #forests #wildlife #tigers. The #Khajuraho #Panna #railway project chopped 54578 trees in 2022-23. Then, the route is redesigned Another 50k trees will be cut. This, even as Panna #TigerReserve is doomed (parts submerged by the #riverlnk This, as tempratures soar to 48°C, with 97/100 of world’s hottest cities in #India

Few commentators/ex-cricketers talk about players doing well in domestic cricket and expect that player to be seen in India colours after few years of consistent performance. Now that we have seen what happened to Aquib,will they continue to do so? @ashwinravi99 @doddaganesha
