Massive clouds of construction dust and debris are being... unleashed on the neighbourhood of Union Park, Bandra. The redevelopment work appears to have commenced without adequate safety and pollution-control measures, with repeated violations of basic construction norms putting residents at serious risk. Children in a nearby building had a terrifyingly close escape when large chunks of concrete and clouds of dust came crashing down. This is not just inconvenience or “construction nuisance” it is a very real threat to public safety. This level of negligence is absolutely irresponsible and unacceptable, Puravankara Limited. And what is even more alarming is that despite माझी Mumbai, आपली BMC issuing a Stop Work Notice, the developer continues with the work. If a Stop Work Notice can simply be ignored, who is accountable? Devendra Fadnavis Adv. Ashish Shelar - ॲड. आशिष शेलार Narendra Modi Ashwini Bhide please intervene urgently. Residents should not have to risk their lives and health while redevelopment continues unchecked. Development cannot mean putting citizens in danger. We need immediate action, not excuses.show more

Scenes outside Western Railway Prabhadevi Railway Station. The approach... road has turned into a muddy, slippery stretch due to the ongoing bridge work, forcing thousands of commuters to risk slips and falls every day. For months, Railways say the north-side staircase is stalled because माझी Mumbai, आपली BMC has not issued the required NOC. If that’s true, why has माझी Mumbai, आपली BMC delayed a critical public safety project? And if Railways knew this bottleneck existed, why was there no effective contingency plan to ensure safe commuter access? Instead of coordination, commuters are caught in a blame game between Ministry of Railways and माझी Mumbai, आपली BMC. Public infrastructure projects cannot come at the cost of public safety. Ritu Tawde Ashwini Bhide Please intervene and ensure both agencies stop passing the buck, complete the pending approvals, and provide safe access to Prabhadevi station immediately. मुंबई Matters™🇮🇳 ChakaChak Dadarshow more

Recently, construction sites across China have been introducing “air... membrane systems” for fully enclosed construction. They are promoted as offering noise reduction, dust control, and the ability to work regardless of weather. However, many frontline workers and netizens report that the environment inside these air membranes is extremely harsh. Temperatures inside are far higher than outside — in summer it feels like a sauna, with internal temperatures reaching 40–50°C. Air does not circulate properly, dust concentrations are high, and the risk of pneumoconiosis (dust lung disease) is serious. Workers must wear masks the entire time. Netizen comments: • “They turned outdoor work into indoor work, so now even above 40°C there’s no high-temperature subsidy.” • “Now they have to work even when it rains. No rest 365 days a year.” So who is the capitalist who treat workers as spare parts?show more

A major fire broke out near Dharavi Bus Depot... on the Sion-Dharavi Link Road after multiple gas cylinder explosions from an illegally parked truck. This is a densely populated area, and the incident has triggered immense panic among residents. My team and I are at the site, where fire brigade operations are in full swing. While no injuries have been reported so far, several parked vehicles have been damaged. 👉 But I ask the Traffic Department, माझी Mumbai, आपली BMC, and the government—why are trucks carrying highly combustible cylinders allowed to park illegally in such a congested locality? 👉 Is the safety of citizens not paramount? 👉Why are buses and trucks from outside being allowed to park here unchecked? 👉 Why is there zero enforcement of traffic rules? Where is the accountability? While our immediate priority is to douse the fire, I demand a full inquiry into this incident and strict action against all officials who failed to prevent illegal parking. This negligence could have cost lives—there must be consequences. #Dharavifire Mumbai Congress Maharashtra Congress Congress Mumbai Traffic Police माझी Mumbai, आपली BMC Devendra Fadnavis Eknath Shinde - एकनाथ शिंदे #Dharavishow more

This bridge, reportedly located in Jamui, Bihar, has become... hollow from inside, and one can clearly see through it from end to end. This is not just negligence it is a serious threat to public safety. Such a dangerous condition exists only because of the complete failure of monitoring and vigilance by the authorities. This is a clear example of how lives are being put at risk due to administrative apathy. We strongly urge the Bihar Government to take immediate cognizance of this matter, conduct a high-level inquiry, fix accountability, and ensure urgent repair or reconstruction before an irreversible tragedy occurs. How many warnings does the system need before lives are lost?show more

The occupying army was not satisfied with all the... crimes, deprivation, and suffering our children have endured for more than three consecutive years. It has gone as far as issuing a decision that any child who tries to play or fly a kite will be targeted immediately. Israel continues to commit crimes against our children that are unparalleled anywhere in this world, trying to strip away everything from their childhood—even their simple toys and the few moments in which they try to escape their terrifying reality. They are trying to destroy every means that could give our children even a moment of joy, and every game that could ease even a fraction of their suffering, as if the very childhood of Gaza’s children has become a crime deserving punishment. Instead of our children being in need of protection and safety, they have become military targets. What kind of world is this, where an unarmed child is left under threat simply because he wants to fly a kite in the sky!!show more

🚨BREAKING: Another ICE agent has been caught on video... illegally pointing a firearm at a U.S. citizen, in Lemonwood, California. In the video, an unmarked ICE vehicle is stopped in the middle of the road… no vehicles are in front of it, and nothing is preventing them from driving forward. Instead of continuing to drive down the road, the ICE agent is blocking a pickup truck from turning, while pointing a gun, out their window, directly at the driver of that truck. The truck backs up, but the agent still keeps the firearm pointed at the driver. Only AFTER people begin honking their horns does the agent lower their weapon, and drive away. The law states that pointing a firearm at someone is considered a serious threat of deadly force. It is only justified when an officer has an objectively reasonable belief that they are facing an immediate threat of death, or serious bodily harm. It is not legally allowed to be used to control traffic, and it is not legally allowed to be used as intimidation. And that’s exactly why this video should be alarming to you. The agent is not boxed in… nothing is preventing them from driving down the street. Meanwhile, the agent is the one preventing the truck from continuing its turn. And they are doing so while pointing a gun at the driver. So, the question becomes… What immediate threat justified the ICE agent to stop their car, and point a firearm at a U.S. citizen? Because we are seeing a growing pattern, of publicly documented incidents, where ICE agents point firearms at legal observers, journalists, and bystanders during enforcement encounters… when they are not facing an immediate threat of death. That is not how public safety works. Pointing a firearm at someone is one of the most serious things an officer can do, because it instantly escalates an encounter into a potential deadly force situation. And that is exactly why the law is supposed to restrict it. Every unnecessary drawn gun increases the risk of a wrong judgment, and a fatal mistake. And when there is no accountability, for when that line gets crossed, drawing a gun because the normal for every situation. And when it becomes normal, more people’s lives are put in danger.show more

All across the UK this is happening and it... is happening every single day. The Patriot Platform is building a real resistance movement. These English and British men understand what is at stake. They know we must have a way to push back. While too many sit in the comfort of their homes, tapping at a laptop or phone and telling themselves they are doing their part, they are not. These men know it is time to do something different. This is a Christian country. This is England. This is our homeland. By the grace of God, we will protect her. On Saturday I’ll show what I’ve built in a matter of weeks! And then we go to work! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧show more

Religious freedom should never come at the cost of... public safety. This man is still flexing a large lethal sharp blade in the name of religion in public. The ban on large and sharp kirpans should be implemented immediately. No one should lose their life because dangerous weapons are carried in public under religious exemptions. Respect for faith and respect for life can coexist. There are ways to honor religious traditions without putting others at risk. No more deaths in the name of religious freedom. Public safety must come first.show more

I’m not surprised to see that Elliot Page just... falsely blamed a dry spell on being transgender. The truth is that Hollywood is brutal. Most people who get a gig never work again. A supporting part in a hit is not a promise of anything. The Odyssey made well over a billion dollars. Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, and Christopher Nolan put people in the seats. Page played Sinon, a role that is not even in Homer. Treating that credit like a guarantee of more work is a distorted view of how the business works. Page said it is “a little tricky to get cast now, for obvious reasons,” and that the industry still needs to adapt. Page is the one making identity the focus. Studios hire faces that sell tickets. They do not owe anyone a career because of a personal identity. Plenty of actors never get near a movie the size of The Odyssey no matter how hard they work. The ones who last treat the work as the priority and keep their private life off the press tour. Gratitude is what Page is really missing. The solution is simple. Stop making identity the pitch. Be good in the role. If the work is strong enough, the offers follow. If they do not, that is Hollywood. It always was.show more

This is a formal warning to the City of... Chicago City of Chicago and to the entities that operate Daley Plaza Daley Center, Public Building Commission and Transwestern. The Serbian community has deep roots in this city since its earliest days. Chicagoland is home to the largest Serbian community outside of Serbia and the Balkans. We are a huge, longstanding, and proud community in this city and we will not accept being disregarded or insulted. Without any consultation with our community, a decision was made to raise the flag of the terrorist and criminal “Republic of Kosovo” at Daley Plaza. This is an occupied territory that remains deeply painful for the Serbian people as this land is the centerpiece of our religion, culture and identity. For our community, this act is not symbolic or fun, it is a political statement that directly insults us. This action is unacceptable. If this terrorist flag of so called Republic of Kosovo is raised again in our city without dialogue or consideration of our community, you should expect a highly visible public protest at levels you’ve never seen before. We demand that this issue be addressed immediately. Engage with our community. Show respect for the people who have built this city. Do not repeat this mistake. Do not think to insult us like this ever again.show more

Realistic footage with Seedance 2.0 👇 Prompt: This is... handheld documentary footage recorded on an early-2000s consumer DV camcorder at the construction site of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The footage feels like real, imperfect documentation of one of the largest building projects in history. The recording shows hundreds of workers moving massive stone blocks on a large construction ramp. Teams of men are pulling ropes attached to sledges with heavy limestone blocks. Overseers with sticks walk along the lines giving orders. Dust fills the air. In the background, the partially built pyramid rises against the sky. The work is extremely physical and organized. The camera moves along one of the work gangs, following a team of workers as they pull a large block up the ramp. It occasionally tilts up to show the height of the structure. There are natural cuts between different groups of workers and close views of the ropes straining and the stone moving slowly. The movement of the camera feels like someone walking among the workers documenting the labor. The handheld camera shows constant shake, drifting framing, autofocus hunting in the bright sunlight and dust, exposure changes, motion blur, and the typical look of filming heavy physical work with an old DV camcorder. The person filming is clearly moving through the active construction site. Natural sound only: the sound of hundreds of men shouting and grunting in rhythm, ropes creaking under tension, stones scraping on the ground, and general noise of a massive construction site. No music. The result must feel like authentic, raw footage of the construction of the Great Pyramid, captured on an old camcorder.show more

Apparently, I saw this video online and I decided... to share. What this worker is applying is called bitumen, or what many of us know as bituminous coating. Most people think a wall is a solid, impenetrable block, but in reality, it is more like a sponge. Concrete and blocks have microscopic pores that pull water from the earth through a process we call capillary action. This thick black substance is the shield that stops that water from climbing up into the house. It is not about making the wall look good because this part will be buried under the dirt forever. It is about creating a skin that water cannot breathe through. When do you need to do this? The need for this arises because the soil is a very aggressive environment. Water is not your only enemy.. The ground also contains salts and sulfates that want to eat away at the cement. If this moisture finds its way to the steel bars inside the columns, those bars will start to rust. And when steel rusts, it expands, and that expansion is what cracks the concrete from the inside out. This coating is the only thing standing between your foundation and that kind of slow destruction. Thats is why if you see wet patches at the bottom of your walls inside your house, it usually means someone skipped this step or did it poorly during construction. You can apply this anytime you are building parts of a structure that will stay in contact with the ground. It is common in areas where the water table is high or where the soil stays damp for most of the year. This is a one-shot opportunity. Once you backfill the soil, you can never go back to fix it without a lot of expense and a lot of digging. It is about having the foresight to protect the heart of the building while it is still exposed. Please don’t ignore this if you need to. If you ignore it now to save a bit of money, you will be funding the future decay of your own home. I hope this helps.show more

Dear Commissioner, MCG Pradeep Dahiya ji, This is a... formal escalation regarding Nirvana Central Road, Sector 50, Gurugram. Around 8 weeks ago, a perfectly serviceable road was stripped of its bituminous top layer. Residents and commuters have since endured weeks of severe dust pollution, followed by the onset of the monsoon, with potholes, an uneven surface and water accumulation creating entirely foreseeable road safety risks. This follows an entire month of dust pollution during the median works in April. Residents have now been subjected to months of avoidable hardship due to poor planning and execution. The question is simple: Why was a usable road stripped when there was no realistic plan to restore it before the monsoon? This was an MCG public works project executed at the ward level. Who is accountable for this planning failure? What message does this send about compliance with CAQM’s dust-control directions and the responsibility owed to citizens? We request your immediate intervention to inspect the road, ensure temporary repairs to address the current hazards, prioritise recarpeting as soon as weather permits, and fix accountability for the planning failures that have compromised public health and road safety. We had raised this issue with the Ward Councillor, Bharti Manish Harsana, on 13 June, but no effective action has followed.
