I think this project covers almost everything I think we need on a street. Dedicated 2 lanes for traffic, car, bike, and big vehicle parking. Wide footpaths, benches under tree canopy, restrooms, permanent shops, temporary vendors (who do not block the entire footpaths), elevated zebra crossing, dustbins, signboards, street lights. Every Indian street should kind of look like this. Quality of life will improve, and there will be less dust pollution as well.

A dedicated bicycle lane is missing, which was sacrificed for wider footpaths, which I think is reasonable, as bicycles can still use active lanes instead.

Now we need to make sure those temporary vendors pay, dispose of their garbage properly, do not extend beyond the dedicated area and block footpaths, and tell their customers to use dustbins and not to park on the street (like that typical Thar driver did).

What do y'all think?

This 3-month-old video is making rounds in international subs now, with multiple comments questioning hygiene in Indian hospitals. I'm not even sure how one can defend this.

I feel like our international image is at an all-time low. There are accounts specifically looking for such content, and they instantly go viral.

As per the recent Supreme Court ruling, the court asked for the removal of stray dogs from high-footfall, sensitive institutions, specifically including hospitals, schools, and railway stations.

I think we should not be blindly opposing every single move, like removal from hospitals.
