The Govt instead of acting against DOW is doing all it can to facilitate Dow's investments in India. Dow is a notorious company, and is one of the most polluting chemical companies in the world. Yet, the Govt of Maharastra has given it permission to set up a plant in Ranjangaon near Pune, and now more terrible, Dow has been allowed to set up a research centre in Pune. Despite the fact that this centre was refused permission in USA and Europe! The struggle to 'kick out Dow' is going on, which was started after last anniversary. We need continued efforts to throw out such companies, have stricter environment laws and their enforcement. In this background: * ON THE 24th ANNIVERSARY OF THE BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY* * We invite you to join the: * *CANDLELIGHT VIGIL EXHIBITION of RAGHURAI's PICTURES OF BHOPAL TRAGEDY 'SALAAM PLAY' based on MANGESH PADGAONKAR'S POEM * * * *To demand: JUSTICE FOR BHOPAL NO MORE BHOPALS * * DATE: DECEMBER 2, 2008,TUESDAY Time: 6- 7 pm Venue: Shaniwarwada, Pune. *We shall be putting up an exhibition on the theme NO MORE BHOPALS at Shaniwarwada from 6 pm onwards, and will light the candles at 6.30 pm. Do invite your friends to join the program too. Let us combine in large numbers to make this small program a big success. * In solidarity,* -- Neeraj Jain Ph. 94222 20311 -- Our website http://www.lokayat.org.in Our blog http://pune-lokayat.blogspot.com ============================================================================== TOPIC: Human Chain to demand rights of Pedestrians - December 24, Wednesday http://groups.google.com/group/BM_discussion/t/56221c9318c660fa?hl=en ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Tues, Dec 23 2008 8:37 pm From: "अभिजित Abhijit" *PADCHARI JAGAR ABHIYAAN – WAKE UP PEDESTRIANS CAMPAIGN* * * *Campaign to voice demands of Pedestrians * LOKAYAT is organising a protest demanding construction of good quality of FOOTPATHS for pedestrians on all roads. At present, the entire emphasis of the PMC is on building new roads, widening roads and building flyovers, to accommodate the increasing number of cars and other private vehicles on Pune's roads. These are increasing at the rate of 600 a day, that is more than 2 lakhs a year. The growing traffic congestion, accompanied by a near-complete absence of footpaths, has made walking on Pune's roads a most hazardous task for Pune's people. People simply have to maneuver their way through the traffic, often causing accidents. Usually the victims of accidents are padestrians. Even where footpaths are there, they are in bad condition. Often, they are blocked by pipes, holes, hoardings, and other types of construction. Cars are parked on footpaths, and two wheelers often can be found driving on them. Lokayat, in association with other organizations working on traffic and transportation issues in Pune, including PTTF, Janwani and Sajag Nagarik Manch, is organizing a HUMAN CHAIN tomorrow to voice these concerns: *Date:* Wednesday, December 24, 2008 *Time:* 6:30 to 7:30 pm *Venue:* Road near Tilak Putla, Mahatma Phule Mandai, Pune. *Volunteers of Lokayat and other activist groups will be forming a HUMAN CHAIN on the side of the main road passing through Mahatma Phule Mandai, where there is no footpath, and thus creating a footpath for pedestrians to walk. * DO JOIN US.
