The "private sector" cope is funny. Plenty of Indian private companies that manufacture arms and they're all languishing with 0 orders from the Indian military. There are more Bharat Forge artillery in Armenian service and Tata WhAPs in Moroccan service than in Indian service.
@Dig_raw21 @tataadvanced "Private sector is better than PSUs... It's manufacturing capabilities are far more better than PSUs..." ok if the private sector is so much competent then start by mass ordering these👇🏼, what is stopping the army from doing that? Or these only reserved for exports to armenia

You have an entire chain of small industrial hubs that can easily be turned into a massive industrial corridor. West Bengal: Durgapur, Purulia, Kharagpur, Arambag, Bardhaman Jharkhand: Dhanbad, Bokaro, Jamshedpur Odisha: Rairangpur > It's crazy that there is no major

The road has pebbles/poorly filled potholes all over it. The municipality can’t even clean/make it better it for the soldiers. Just shameful. At least do it for the soldiers!

India can easily call Trump’s bluff because US #tariffs touch only 1.05% of the Indian economy. So why are we not being tough on the @WhiteHouse ? Is it the Gujarati obsession with America?

This is blatantly misleading. The swing seen in this was during OEM testing with emergency braking. Such sway is a normal, designed response and well within CEN and BIS safety limits. It poses no risk to passengers. Also, the ₹815 crore is not just for the ropeway. A

Bihar's issues are our own, nigga. Just because Southie regionalists are retarded and blame their issues on North doesn't mean we do the same.
Dear people of Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and Chattishgarh Are you watching what's happening in Venezuela ? Get UNITED and FIGHT the OPPRESSORS. Otherwise, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Southern states will keep LOOTING your natural resources and you will remain POOR.

Centre plans Budget push to make cities financially self-reliant: boost property tax & user charges, nudge municipal/green bonds, allow ULBs to offer paid services, peer mentoring. Only ~25 of 4,500 ULBs are self-reliant; municipal revenues stuck near 1% of GDP.

This is Rechna Doab. This is how British Era water engineering looks like in Pakistan's Punjab. All these canals meant that Pakistan's population exploded from nothing to the top 5 in the world. While that is the strength of Pakistan, that's where Pakistan's weakness also lies -

Valid point, this explains why 🇨🇳 wants to access 🇷🇺 reserves & also shift to renewables & battery powered future to reduce 🇺🇸 chokehold. 🇮🇳 also needs to speed up the 3 stage nuclear programme. 🇮🇳 has 25% of 🌎 thorium & it's the only way alongwith solar to gain energy security.
The US coup in Venezuela is also to help the petrodollar system, established by Henry Kissinger's 1974 deal with Saudi Arabia requiring global oil sales in USD, which creates artificial demand for the currency & funds American hegemony - but which has been in its death throes.

When the Delhi Metro was first proposed, people said it was too expensive and that no one would use it. Today, it is the lifeline of the capital and a model for metro networks across India. When airports were built, many said air travel is only for the rich. Today, India has one
Around 70,000 people are expected to travel every day, with an average ticket price of about ₹3,000. Daily Income: 21 crore. A large part of this money goes into electricity, staff salaries, maintenance, repairs, and loan interest. It may take about 5 to 7 years to recover the

Saraswati Paleochannel. The "lost" river that wasn't myth. 2024 excavations at Bahaj, Rajasthan: 23-meter-deep buried channel discovered beneath the surface. Settlements dated 3500–1000 BCE along its banks. Rigveda praised her as "best of mothers, best of rivers." Satellite

Indian cities are congested because they can't expand upwards due to FSI limit. If taller buildings are allowed, population pressure will greatly reduce in metros. Buildings in places like Bangkok/Jakarta are 3X taller than those in Mumbai/Delhi on avg
@viprabuddhi @jaTAdhAr_I Bro atleast our mega cities should look good like SEA cities who are not THAT ahead of us. I am also not fool enough to expect NYC or Shanghai level infra in Indore. Delhi/Mumbai looking equal to Bangkok or even Jakarta would be enough.

Yeah but the way Mumbai Port Authority has put up these plots for lease, it will be difficult to build an integrated city out of it...which was the original plan for the Waterfront.
@RahulChels Eastern waterfront will happen, just nit the way people expect it to. Line 14 too will definitely happen.

Even Bengaluru (often a laggard on executing mega projects) is visibly getting its act together. Absolutely optimistic about Indian urban infrastructure, especially across what will be India’s three largest urban conglomerates in the coming decade (NCR, the Mumbai Metropolitan

Left China, Right Punjab. Difference China has a higher number of urban population compared to Rural, hence bigger dots.
Panjab on Google Earth looks like a constellation. Each dot is a village surrounded by fields. A world unto its own. Crazy rural density. Will be same in gangetic plains too.

Nah, these mfs about to cook the entire coastline of Mumbai with this road so only rich sobo mfs get the unobstructed sea view while everyone else stares at a 12 lane viaduct this actually blowin me, who came up with ts😭
To cut down 45,000 mangrove trees in a coastal city is madness. What’s worse is to allow compensatory afforestation for these trees 900 kms away in Chandrapur!
