This is worsened by external factors such as heavy rain, sharp curves, or the thick fog common in North India.

Published by Parlour News

Contractors who have evinced interest in taking up the project of clearing the Deonar dumping ground in Mumbai on Friday attended the first pre-bid meeting, where they expressed concerns over the deadline of three years given by the BMC to clear the piles of legacy waste from the land parcel. On May 14, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) floated a tender worth Rs 2,368 crore for clearing 271 acres (110 hectares) of 311 acres of the Deonar dumping ground through the process of bioremediation within three-years.

File photo of VHP general secretary Milind Parande. | Photo Credit: Emmanual Yogini Had the temples of Mathura and Kashi been given to the Hindu community, like Ayodhya, many of the present temple-mosque disputes would not have occurred, said organising general secretary of the Vishva Hindu Parishad, Milind Parande. “The current situation would not have arisen if Hindus had Kashi and Mathura,” he said. Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat had recently expressed concern over the resurgence of temple-mosque disputes. He had also said that no one will become a “leader of Hindus” by fanning communal divide. Mr. Parande, who spoke on the sidelines of the launch of a campaign to “liberate Hindu temples from government control”, said Mr. Bhagwat’s statement was “misinterpreted”. “His statement must be looked at in full context and not in isolation. We must look at his statements made in 1984, when he had said that if we got the three temples [Kashi, Mathura and Ayodhya], the entire issue would come to an end. It’s almost 2025 but this is …
