2 NCPs, 2 foundation days, twin crises. Both Pawar factions staring at uncertain future

Soon after Ajit Pawar’s death, Maharashtra's political corridors were abuzz with how he'd verbally agreed to a merger. Months on, both NCP factions in throes of an identity crisis.

Mumbai lost two landmarks in a span of ten days - the Air India building and Air India colony. In #TheFirstMetro, I write how the city is in constant metamorphosis and how places that are primary identifiers of neighbourhoods so often cease to exist.

A must read. Thanks @manasi87 Mumbai: A Bandra demolition, and the city failing its poor theprint.in/the-first-metro/…

Mumbai: A Bandra demolition, and the city failing its poor

Why is slum extinction a priority? Yes, slums block land, a scarce public resource. But, of 8,333 acres of slum land in Mumbai, only 3,620.9 acres is privately owned.

In The First Metro, I write about how the city has spectacularly failed to stem slum proliferation and create affordable housing for the poor in this city where money is the primary language. Garib Nagar was symptomatic of this problem.

With son taking control, a 'catch-22' for Sunetra? Cracks widen in NCP over Parth's leadership style

In the new regime headed by his mother after Ajit Pawar's death, Parth has become a voice too powerful to ignore. But his working style has not gone down well with many.

The Kanjurmarg landfill, which handles 90 percent of Mumbai’s waste, is in the midst of a heated court battle with residents around it demanding its closure. I visited the landfill to understand how the waste is processed, and why residents are finding it tough to live with it.
