Not allowing Pfizer , Moderna and Sputnik to sell vaccines in India is inexplicable. Please allow it those who can afford it and don’t have eligibility for other vaccines . We can prevent so many deaths . What validation are we waiting for ??
75% of India's eligible population is now fully vaccinated. Over 705 Million citizens, twice the total population of USA have taken 2 shots of the vaccine.
Every single dose is registered, documented and can be verified digitally.

We can longer hide behind 'education' & 'class' to justify our collective apathy towards civic duty.
Mah generates the highest GST revenues in the country by a large margin. Western Mah generates a large portion of this . Despite this, we don’t have a fully functional civilian airport, functional metro, no riverside development & no functional ring road . Needs to change .
Mandatory RTPCR tests every 15 days in Mah for industry, trade and services is completely untenable and without scientific basis . We don’t have the lab capacity and this will delay tests for those with symptoms. Also result in frauds . For half the cost, we can vaccinate all.

An area that we have excelled in India is our Covid testing capacity & reasonable costs. In USA RTPCR test results can take several days & cost as much as 300 USD for same day results. Our performance is amongst the best in the world. Great example of innovation at scale.
The congestion on all major highways during weekends and special occasions reflects the growing prosperity in India but also underscores the deficiency in long-term infrastructure planning. The growing strain on commuting and highways emphasises the necessity of promoting private
The lack of a fully functional airport continues to throttle the growth of our amazing city . We will continue our efforts to correct this apathy. Urging all business , civic leaders and well wishers of Pune to raise this at every possible forum . Eventually we will prevail .
Surprised to see so many agitated about loosing a project in Mah which was asking for subsidy of 39,000 crores. Wish we had the same passion for basic infrastructure (airports, rail, roads, education, skilling) . Let’s get our basics to be the best. Investment will follow .
Travelling through Pune is a stark reminder of how much we have fallen in hygiene . Our beautiful city has become a garbage dump & unless this becomes a highest priority, situation is likely to get worse. As citizens, we need to demand more but also participate in the change .
Monthly reminder for all Punekars:: Pune continues to be the worlds single largest urban conglomeration anywhere in the world without a fully functional airport .
Sealing of buildings needs to stop . Getting Omicron is not a crime . By sealing buildings we are simply making people not report symptoms for fear of being sent to institutional quarantine or having the building sealed . It’s serves no purpose at this stage of the pandemic.
