@DCLahore One justified reason how this will tackle smog? One justification of this wastage of water for your media op? Why are we still living in 1923 rather than 2023?

#WATCH | Bhubaneswar, Odisha: On Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation installing dust collectors to curb pollution under pilot project, Mayor Sulochana Das says, “To make Bhubaneswar pollution-free, the Municipal Corporation has installed dust collectors…the machine works by drawing in dusty air, purifying it, and releasing clean air while trapping the dust…it allows us to monitor air quality and measure dust particle levels. We are also considering planting oxygen trees to further combat dust and pollution. Given the apparent effectiveness of the dust controllers installed during this trial, we plan to deploy them on other roads with heavy traffic and congestion…we intend to expand this initiative to other parts of the city…”

Alhamdulilah the first ever world tested dust suspension system comprising of 15 Anti Smog Guns has arrived in Lahore and is being assembled. These advanced fog cannons spray ultra fine water mist to capture harmful airborne particles, including PM2.5 & PM10, forcing them to settle and clean the air. The Anti Smog Guns machines will be deployed in lahore and will be fully integrated with Punjab’s real time air quality monitoring network and the Environment Protection Force. They will auto activate wherever pollution spikes. Linked with satellite data, drones, QR coded kilns & AI based tracking, this is a major leap forward in environmental enforcement. With resolve, technology, innovation, and citizens’ participation, we will together Insha’Allah win the fight against smog.

ELON MUSK ON THE EVOLUTION OF STARBASE'S CLEANLINESS “Everything's clean in this. There's no mud and dust. It's better when it has doors on.” Noting the shift from open-air builds to enclosed precision environments. Amid the tour, he contrasts the current setup with earlier conditions.Simple additions like doors make a tangible difference in operations. This points to incremental improvements that enable reliability at scale. It's about creating conditions where complex work can thrive consistently. Why it matters: Cleanliness directly ties to quality control in high-stakes manufacturing. Source: Elon Musk with Tim Dodd (Everyday Astronaut), June 2024 — Topic: Starbase Tour

Today, the joy and excitement on display spoke volumes as I commissioned two strategic projects in Oshimili South LGA. The 4.8 km Oko–Amakon/Oko–Obiokpu and adjoining roads (Phase 1) and the 1.8 km Ameachi Agusi and adjoining roads in Asaba. The just commissioned Oko Phase 1 will improve connectivity within the area and provide easier access for farmers to markets. It will also enable quicker emergency response to security issues and enhance access to the Second Niger Bridge corridor. The Ameachi Agusi and adjoining roads in Asaba are a clear testament to our urban renewal initiative, and I am pleased with the quality of work delivered by the contractors. I also informed my audience that the Oko Phase II Road Project has been awarded with a completion timeline of 24 months.

A Daily Gamble With Speeding Traffic. Pedestrians Risk Lives on Nagar Road Crossing Nagar Road has turned into a perilous ordeal for pedestrians. With the traffic department barricading major intersections across the city including the busy stretch near Phoenix Marketcity vehicles are now forced to move ahead and take distant U-turns. But at these U-turn points, the absence of speed breakers, traffic signals, and zebra crossings has created a dangerous situation. Pedestrians attempting to cross are left battling a stream of fast-moving vehicles, each step a risk to life and limb. Adding to the chaos, several vehicles drive the wrong way from the Phoenix Marketcity side to reach the U-turn sooner, blatantly moving against the traffic flow. This reckless behavior heightens the danger not only for pedestrians but also for commuters heading towards Vimannagar, Kalyani Nagar, Koregaon Park, and Camp. The situation is spiraling into a serious safety hazard. Immediate intervention from the traffic police is essential to prevent a potential tragedy.

The dangerous sideshows where people drive on sidewalks and disobey traffic signals put residents at risk and fuel a sense of lawlessness. SFPD has increased enforcement, and today, with Supervisor Danny Sauter 李爾德, we are taking another step to confront it. This legislation raises fines for those caught participating in sideshows, bringing San Francisco in line with other Bay Area counties. Thank you, Supervisor Sauter and San Francisco Police Chief Yep, for your leadership and commitment to keeping our communities safe.

More than 100 million people nationwide have been under air quality alerts due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. This is not just an inconvenience. This smoke has impacts on the health and well-being of individuals and families. That’s why I’m introducing a resolution calling for greater action from the Canadian government to prevent and fight wildfires. With more than 3,640 wildfires in Canada this year alone, it’s clear that more action needs to be taken to prevent and stop these fires.

Uttar Pradesh has established itself as the country’s most prominent model of sustainable development, integrating economic progress with environmental stewardship. Alongside major infrastructure advancements, including expressways, airports, data centres, and industrial investments, the state recorded a 559-square-km increase in forest and tree cover from 2021 to 2023. Solar power capacity has risen sharply from 288 MW in 2017 to 2,815 MW today. Wildlife conservation has also shown positive results, with tiger numbers increasing from 109 to 205 and the Ganga dolphin population reaching 2,397. Continuing PM Modi’s “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” initiative, Uttar Pradesh, under the leadership of CM Yogi, aims to plant 35 crore saplings and create a new benchmark. This is not just an afforestation drive but a significant step towards securing clean air, safe water, and a sustainable green legacy for future generations. #PrakritiKaMahaYagya 🌳🇮🇳

Pedestrians AND Traffic are alive now everyone!! Been heads down for 2 days on this one to build a hyper realistic flow, it was a massive amount of work, but part of the map now has people walking the streets and cars actually driving through traffic. Day 23 of building hyper realistic community own open source, open world game with a loop of AI agents. Today's progress: - Pedestrians are in. NPCs walk around the streets on their own. - Traffic works. cars drive the roads and follow the flow. got both running together across a whole section of the map. This was one of the hardest parts so far. a city only feels alive when the crowds and the traffic are all running at once, and that's a lot of systems talking to each other. but real talk, a lot of this i had to set up by hand right now, and the bigger the map gets the worse that's going to be. There has to be a better way. next up is scaling it from one section to the entire city. quick question for the unreal engine people: whats your best approach for traffic and crowd AI at full city scale? I got a section fully alive, now i want the whole map moving. if you've built this before i want to learn how you did it.

This Wednesday, we’re taking volunteerism beyond normal. The drains at Darkuman Junction are completely blocked, causing flooding, heavy traffic, and gradual destruction of the road. Instead of waiting for someone else to act, we’re stepping up to make a difference. To get this clean-up started, we urgently need: 🚜 A backhoe to clear the blocked drains. 🚛 A tipper truck to haul away the waste and debris. We are calling on individuals, businesses, organizations, and anyone who cares about our community to support this cause. Whether you can provide the equipment, sponsor the work, or connect us with someone who can help, your support will have a lasting impact. Together, we can restore the flow of the drains, improve road safety, and make Darkuman a cleaner, safer place for everyone. 📞 Please reach out if you can support or partner with us. Volunteerism is not just about showing up—it’s about creating lasting change.

Today, the last set of children from our #65FreeAdenotonsillectomySurgeries were discharged from the ward. Only one child remains on IV antibiotics and is expected to be discharged tomorrow, God willing. From the beginning of this initiative to celebrate Mr Peter Obi’s 65th birthday, we screened over 100 children. More than 70 had medical or surgical indications for adenotonsillar disease, and every child who required adenotonsillectomy had a successful surgery. The final surgeries were completed on Sunday. Today three of the last four families gave me a bottle of wine as a token of gratitude and I received it with a grateful heart. But the greatest reward is seeing these children breathe easier, sleep peacefully, and return home healthier. My sincere thanks to every surgeon, anaesthetist, paediatrician, nurse, theatre staff, cleaner, technician, volunteer, and to every Nigerian who prayed for us throughout this journey. To God alone be all the glory.

Gated societies are not India's future. Townships are. Think about why gated societies became so popular in the first place. It was never just about security. People wanted good roads, proper footpaths, parks, greenery, cleanliness... basically a place where they could step out without having to deal with the everyday problems outside. But even the best gated society has one problem. The moment you step outside, you're back to reality. You still have to go to work. Your kids have to go to school. You have to visit hospitals, restaurants, shopping areas and a hundred other places. And you have to navigate the bad traffic, dirty roads, potholes on roads, etc. That's where I think townships come in. I recently visited Bhartiya City in North Bangalore. It's spread across 125 acres and has residential societies, offices, schools, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, parks... almost everything you need. The roads, footpaths, greenery and public spaces are all maintained by the private developer. You're no longer buying just a flat, but buying an entire environment/ecosystem. And this is happening because people have slowly stopped expecting good public infrastructure from the government. They'd rather pay a private developer to build and maintain it. First we paid extra for a gated society. Now we're paying for an entire town. Think about how crazy that is. People pay so much in taxes, yet they still feel the need to pay again for good roads, parks, footpaths, cleanliness and basic civic infrastructure because they don't expect to get it outside. People are trying to escape the problems of India... while still living in India. I genuinely think this is where Indian real estate is headed. More townships. More self-contained ecosystems. More people choosing to live inside these bubbles because that's where they find the quality of life they're looking for.

This initiative aims to reduce the financial burden on everyday citizens while encouraging the use of public transport over private vehicles. With rising fuel prices and global economic pressures, the move provides much-needed support to workers, students, and families across the province. This vlog captures real on-ground experiences, showing how this decision is making daily travel easier, more affordable, and more accessible for people from all walks of life in Punjab. #govtofpunjab #maryamnawazsharif #freepublictransportpunjab #orangeline

Recorded this today around 7 pm (19/05/2026) in and around Sector 50 & Nirvana Country, Gurugram, extending toward Sector 65. After noticing very poor air conditions, I drove roughly 1.5 km through the area for a wider check. What I saw on ground is hard to process. The worst conditions were concentrated around Sector 65, blanketed in dust - multiple active construction sites and large projects with effectively zero dust control measures. Along with this, broken and unpaved stretches and constant movement of vehicles over loose soil are creating continuous dust clouds. In several areas visibility dropped so badly that cars were using fog lights in broad daylight. Respected Commission for Air Quality Management ,Central Pollution Control Board and HSPCB GURUGRAM NORTH kindly note this is not normal dust or routine construction impact. It is uncontrolled dust pollution in a densely populated residential belt. The dust clouds are enveloping our areas. Neither the project proponents nor the public land-owning / road maintenance authorities appear to be making any effort to contain this massive dust generation, nor are they complying with basic construction dust containment guidelines (NGT norms). This is especially severe around Sector 65, directly impacting facing sectors like 49,50,51, 64, 67 and also worsened by dug-up stretches along GCER, turning the entire belt into a continuous dust zone. This is directly affecting residents and school-going children along these roads. 7 prominent schools in and around these sectors ! With GRAP Stage 1 now imposed by the Commission for Air Quality Management, enforcement is supposed to be stricter. But what is visible on ground is clear non-compliance. This needs immediate inspection and strict enforcement. Stop Work Where Norms Are Being Violated . Dust control is a necessity it cannot be optional in a residential zone. #GRAP1 #AirPollution #HealthHazard #DustPollution #Gurugram #Sector65 #Sector50 #NirvanaCountry #GCER #ConstructionDust #RoadDust #PublicHealth Chief Secretary Haryana CMO Haryana MoEF&CC GMDA Haryana State Pollution Control Board Respected political representatives: Rao Inderjit Singh Rao Narbir Singh Arti Singh Rao -requesting your urgent attention to the severe dust pollution situation in Sector 65 / Sector 50 belt. Please ensure strict enforcement by local authorities under GRAP Stage 1 to protect public health and ensure compliance on ground.

Recorded this today around 7 pm (19/05/2026) in and around Sector 50 & Nirvana Country, Gurugram, extending toward Sector 65. After noticing very poor air conditions, I drove roughly 1.5 km through the area for a wider check. What I saw on ground is hard to process. The worst conditions were concentrated around Sector 65, blanketed in dust - multiple active construction sites and large projects with effectively zero dust control measures. Along with this, broken and unpaved stretches and constant movement of vehicles over loose soil are creating continuous dust clouds. In several areas visibility dropped so badly that cars were using fog lights in broad daylight.
