How about building them in states that are water surplus? States like Assam, Kerala have no water shortage issues

Food, nuclear, pharma, data centres. India’s four biggest growth bets are all water-intensive, being built in states that are already running out of it. The resource isn’t priced. The metering is just starting. Somewhere in that gap is a company worth building…

Start the project already, what are they waiting for. The shompens can live in the 80% of land that will still be a project, nothing will happen to them

India sees Great Nicobar as a strategic and economic gateway, but the project could permanently alter a fragile island ecology and transform the lives of its indigenous communities.

@Pinex_uj @SudsG5 NorthWest(i.e Pakistan) yes. Gujarat, Rajasthan faced Huna, Kushans but from 7th century to 12th century, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Kashmir all were under Hindu sovereignity

Social media trends have turned the world’s most beautiful places into endless bathroom lines at a concert, where everyone waits for hours just to take the same photo to show to people who couldn’t care less 🌎📸 Nothing captures the shallow decay of our time better than this

The AQI thing in India seems seasonal. These are most polluted cities in the world right now.

@raghuvir_sainik @Kyangs_Thang Interesting, not a native speaker, so haven't heard of "keena" till now. But this was what Agent Saffron pointed, "Suna hai ki" or "Sunne me aya hai ki" or it's Tamil equivalent "Kelvi patten" can be dropped by adding an simple "aam" suffix to the word

@Munici_paaltea No prediction. Higher probabilities of deficit monsoon than normal. No chance of excess

Many in my feed are worried that El Nino will hit sugarcane and therefore ethanol production. However, there are early indicators of vigorous monsoon spell occuring over Marathwada, Vidarbha between June 25-July 5, which may help the core sugarcane belt. This spell as I said, is yet to be confirmed, fingers crossed

Every single one of them. For example, take Sholinganallur which lies in Chennai IT corridor vs Kulithalai which is a random agricultural outpost Sholinganallur has more than 2x Kulithalai voters which says this constituency should have been broken into 2. You can find these examples across India

Let’s try a thought experiment. Say a hypothetical party wants to win Lok Sabha elections by winning all seats in UP, MH, WB, Bihar, MP(239 seats) and not win anywhere else. Today, this party will fall short of 33 seats(272 majority mark) In the new setup, this party will win 358 seats, but will fall short of 49 seats(408 new majority mark). That’s the beauty of percentages. If it’s uniformly increased, it really does not benefit anyone

Naidu ji, let’s try a thought experiment. Say your salary is 2 lakhs and your driver’s is 20,000. You announce a 50% increase for everybody. Your salary is now 3 lakhs and your driver’s is 30,000. The percentage or proportional increase is the same — but aren’t you much better

@arvndalxndr Nah I don't want that. But it's also about following 2011 census for delimitation within states that will reduce the outsized power of rural areas/population. I definitely want that

@MobyNastro These are terrible ideas and I am thankful they have dropped the obsession with linking rivers. Desalination plants can serve as a backup source of drinking water in coastal metropolitan cities, not worth the cost beyond that

There is no use dooming about upcoming El Nino event. Even in a failed monsoon, there will be lot of rainy days, even heavy rain days in your city, locality. Just like there would be sunny days even in an excess Monsoon. Maximum effort should be done to implement Rainwater Harvesting and capture the rainwater, so that atleast there is no drinking water crisis next year. It's not too late. Monsoon will revive in another 10 days. Capture as much as rainwater as possible

@Rtr_Muthukumar Where did I say that? If a place has 40 rainy days, in a failed Monsoon, it will still see 25 rainy days, that’s the cruz of my post

Just a headup to my followers - a "failed" Monsoon does not imply there would be no heavy/extreme rains, floods etc. That would require an extinction level supervolcano eruption event. From last week of June onwards, rains will return and some places may see localized flooding etc. The question is whether the quantum of rainfall across 4 months would be enough to sustain water guzzling agricultural activities and ensure water supply to our cities from October to June next year.
