(1/3) Cities are no longer cooling down once the sun sets — turning heat stress into a round-the-clock occurrence.
For instance Delhi's heat pattern is driven by land use that clearly influences the land surface temperature (LST). Night temperatures do drop, but not evenly.

@SECBAD_CANTT there are absolutely NO dustbins in WARD 8 (Risala Bazaar, Burton Road, Steward Road) and people are throwing waste wherever they feel like. As a result waste is routinely being burnt posting a serious health hazard. Please replace dustbins, it has been 2 years

@SECBAD_CANTT the appalling lack of dustbins at Burton Road Ward 8 - as per your collector, there is door to door collection so dustbins were removed. That makes absolutely NO sense pls reinstate. I asked 14 households, and shops. @SwachSurvekshan

Impressed with Bolarum police station and helpline action on Diwali Day. Raised a complaint on their Whatsapp chat helpline. Was a minor request - bursting of crackets well past the deadline. They reached within 15 minutes and got the household to wrap up Thanks @hydcitypolice
