How are senior citizens & patients to move with jerks galore on this no-road due to diversion. I had to endure this within 4 days of spine surgery. Who is responsible for complications due to this stupidity of traffic cops acting irresponsibly & high handedly?? @CPMumbaiPolice
Replying to @MumbaiPolice
@MumbaiPolice @mybmc traffic Jn at exit from Hiranandani Gardens-JalVayu Vihar on JVLR is blocked with barricades diverting traffic via Prathmesh Galaxy where there is no semblance of road at all. At best it is comparable to Lunar surface. This high handed action is deplorable.

🚨 BIG UPDATE IN THE SAHIL WAKODE CASE IIT Bombay student Sahil Wakode admitted his mistake and sought another chance from the institute in a written statement after being caught cheating in an examination. There was no caste angle in the incident. - Mumbai Police

@CSMIA_Official @AdaniAirport Why is this abandoned vehicle parked in VIP parking near pillar 41B of CSMIA? Such an eyesore & here for at least 2 years or more & noticed 100’s of times. Is CSMIA staff so callous to retain an abandoned car while charging a ransom as parking fee

Brookfield is violating every norm in Powai Hiranandani in demolishing a less than 25 year old building to gain from much higher FSI from redevelopment. BMC stop work is violated in minutes. No water spray to suppress dust. Powai visibility is down to few hundred meters with this

IIT Bombay students have started an insta page against SFI. We should support them. instagram.com/anti.sfi.movem…

NOT A CASTEIST BUT THE BEACON OF INCLUSIVITY! 2024 Email by Professor Doolla accessed by @mayuganapatye that shows his commitment to inclusivity. Professor Doolla even drew up an "etiquette" list that stresses on the importance of sensitising students against using identity markers on campus that could lead to discrimination.

An IIT Bombay student just exposed the whole drama🚨 Reporter: "What actually happened on campus? Was there really any caste discrimination?" ​Student: "Not at all. The guy was caught cheating with ChatGPT during the exam. The professors literally counselled him and told him his academic career was safe. He was dealing with severe personal pressure, but no one wants to talk about that." ​Reporter: "Then why is this being turned into such a massive outrage outside?" ​Student: "Because Congress and their ecosystem immediately jumped in to hijack the tragedy. They don't care about the student or his mental health. Their only goal is to play the SC/ST card, divide students, and run their political campaign." ​Making a fake caste narrative just to score cheap political points is shameless. Weaponizing a personal tragedy for party politics is wild 🙏

Director IIT Bombay says he’s gonna resign after Sahil committed suicide coz he was caught cheating and Modi Act was imposed on Professor Doolla. More such mass resignations should come. It’s high time this bullshit needs to be called out. xitter.cf/trigguuuu/status/21011…

100% in agreement. How can the Director be responsible for stopping unethical practices of copying in examination and upholding the sanctity and integrity of education system. Where does cast issue come in??
It will have long term disastrous consequences if the director of @iitbombay resigns. The director and the institute cannot held responsible by any stretch of imagination if a student commits suicide after caught cheating in the exam. As the news flow over mainstream and social media at the moment, the institute did not take any disciplinary action and rather counseled the student. What more an institute can do? If we want to build strong characters, and maintain academic integrity and standard, we cannot simply accept that it is okay to cheat in the exam. I am deeply concerned about the dilution in the academic rigor that has already happened in IITs over the years. Now if the director resigns, the dilution will get a further boost. Institutes should not respond to knee-jerk reactions in the social media. Rather they should focus on building robust frameworks to address issues.

Many people will not understand this map. Let me explain. Area marked RED is called Forest Park, having very old trees. Preserved by @hiranandanigrp as green lung & handed over to @mybmc. Yellow marked area is approved for bulldozing. BMC gift to the MNCs & the local builder for a road meant to benefit them. They have 6 acre asset where 30000 seat GCC & other companies are coming. How fair is it to citizens who pay taxes for a decent life? Why shouldn't road go through the commercial property, dear @Dev_Fadnavis ji? I am sure you are kept in dark by Babus & builders with whom you signed Joint MOU. Let us breathe. Let us live 🙏🙏🙏🥺

~1000 citizens of #Powai hit the street to #SaveMumbai from unplanned messy development without infrastructure. 30000 seat GCC++, Huge redevelopment of commercial buildings. Meaning 100,000 daily entry exits, 20-25000 vehicles for them. But no infra thought @CMOMaharashtra @mybmc

Highly deplorable act by Brookfield. On one hand BMC commissioner asks citizens to “Complain & shoutout on Pedestrian footpaths encroachment, a MNC further assets illegal action by reinforcing the fensing. They need to be taught civic sense @mybmc @BmcCommissioner @CMOMaharashtra
Fearing action from @mybmc under its #PedestriansFirst policy, workers of Brookfield have moved swiftly to seal the gaps and reinforce the tall barricades, apparently determined to ensure they cannot be pulled down easily. #powai #canada

Hiranandani Gardens Powai is an exceptional example of Builder-MMRDA-BMC nexus. No conveyance is done citing Development under PADP is not complete after 40+ yr & redevelopment is approved using additional FSI belonging to flat owners while all agencies sleep including the state

Footpaths for walking is a fundamental right as per Courts, not for corrupt bmc officials on ground. Top brass hand in glove with Builders lobby!! Violations in Hiranandani Powai galore!!!@Dev_Fadnavis @CMOMaharashtra @mybmc @MumbaiPolice
Dear @mybmc MNC @Brookfield covers entire footpath for rebuilding of an existing high quality commercial building into 18 story ugly complex. I called up the officer. No action. On the other side he has occupied even road claiming it's his property as per BMC records. Does it mean that #Hiranandani built this commercial Central Avenue without any footpaths while you were asleep?
