In your area, citizens are expressing significant concern over the delayed monsoon rains ☔️ and a predicted 65% deficit, fearing a catastrophic environmental impact on fresh water supplies. While new infrastructure like the Atal Setu bridge is noted, there's widespread alarm about the destruction of natural habitats 🌳, including wetlands, lakes, and mountains, to make way for extensive development. Other pressing issues include a dire lack of public restrooms 🚽, inadequate traffic management, and safety concerns for contract workers.
“There are kilometers and kilometers of these roads, but there are no public restroom services anywhere. How are women going to live in this city or work with dignity? At least public restrooms should be developed.”
“Going to take the Atal Setu bridge which has been kilometers and kilometers of this bridge on top of the ocean. So excited for it.”
“This is too late for the monsoons to arrive. This is a dangerous trend. If the 65% failure that has been predicted for monsoons becomes a reality, have you thought about the impact on the environment? With so many cities dependent on fresh water, it's going to be a catastrophe. Plus, the government is on rampage cutting environment, cutting trees to build different more buildings and like, you know, factories, etc. Uh, so without trees and everything, how is the system going to work? Plus these global wars, bombs. So just like it's what is what we are doing to the environment is completely unpredictable and the most valuable resources we have of natural climate cycles are being completely disrupted, which is a very dangerous situation we are in. So it all depends on if we get rain this time or not.”
