Greenpeace India also called on political parties to make critical environmental issues such as urban justice, equitable mobility and safe local foods the basis of current and future legislature discourses
Greenpeace India has submitted 20 recommendations to political parties pertaining to sustainable cities and nutrition diversity in the runup to the Karnataka Assembly elections.
The NGO called on political parties to make critical environmental issues, such as urban justice, equitable mobility and safe local foods, the basis of current and future legislature discourses.
The 10-point agenda for sustainable mobility are:
1. Declaring all Transit Oriented Development Zones (ToD) as Low Economic Zones (LEZ)
2. Implementing Active Mobility Bill
3. Dedicating 4,000 kilometres of cycle lanes and footpaths for cyclists and pedestrians, with 2,000 km of cycle lanes and footpaths exclusively for Bengaluru
4. Establishing 11 dedicated bus lanes in Bengaluru
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
