On 23 Oct 2026, Street Worldz Trust (founder Jagriti Mishra, Delhi) posted videos of a JCB knocking down the new brick walls of a shelter and animal hospital she was building on farm land the trust had bought (her land update, 11 Sep 2026). A ground report by Middle Class Mic (23 Oct 2026) says an MCD Junior Engineer and police came to the site over the construction and land-use rules. Jagriti says local political figures pushed for the action. Building on farm land needs official permission. We read 513 comments on Vivek Sehrawat's reel about the case (23 Oct 2026); 116 took a clear side. Most want the officials probed, some say rules must apply to everyone, others want notice before any demolition, a way to regularise the shelter, or government land for shelters. Where do you stand? Opinions only. Not linked to the trust, MCD, the police or any party. Videos courtesy @street_worldz709, used with permission.

📍 Thane, Maharashtra, India

Thane needs about 621 million litres of water every day, but gets only about 585. From 16 October the state has ordered a further 10% cut. So homes pay the water bill, and when the taps run dry, they pay again for tankers. One Ghodbunder society reportedly spent Rs 1.5 crore on tankers in just six months. In Shil, high-rises are reported to call 10 to 15 tankers every single day. If you live in Thane, you know this daily fight for water. So we are asking you one simple thing: what should the city fix? Pick every option you want. Every vote counts, and together the votes will show what Thane really wants.
