[frankblangeard]

At 6:14 a solution is proposed for cities of up to 4 million people or even more. But...India's cities are going to approach 30 or 40 million people.

[KCL]

Government need to be serious. And people need to be serious. If not. nothing solve the problems. ✌

The city businesses have cut all the trees in Bangalore. Many shops poison trees in front of their office buildings to allow better views of the sign boards.
