Cows still have the right of way on city roads
Chennai: On any given evening, you might spot a line of buffaloes lying down on R K Mutt Road at Mylapore, unfazed by traffic. Or a cow making its way down the roads of Triplicane or Koyambedu. Stray cattle have become a fixture on roads, causing accidents and blocking traffic. According to govt data from 2023, Tamil Nadu recorded 499 animal-related road accidents — nearly half of them fatal. But, Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) data reveals a 74% drop in cattle caught. In 2022, Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) caught 7,199 heads of cattle, averaging 19 a day. In the first six months of this year, it caught just 1,008, around five a day. Triplicane, Mandaveli, Koyambedu, GN Chetty Road, Bells Road and Poonamallee High Road report the most cattle-related incidents. The city has 15 cattle-catching vehicles, one for each zone. Seven are more than a decade old and break down often. Each vehicle carries just one cow at a time and must travel to Pudupet, the city's only functional depot, with a capacity of 80.

We need more vehicles," said a Sholinganallur zone official. Last year, GCC announced plans to build cattle shelters at Sholinganallur and Perungudi, but nothing has materialized. Officials blame red tape and lack of funds. Hiring cattle catchers is also a struggle, say officials. Under the National Urban Livelihood Mission, daily wages are around RS400 and often delayed. The city has just 75 catchers for an estimated 20,000 cattle population. Even existing shelters are being lost. A cattle depot at Perambur was razed to build a wedding hall while a new centre in Royapuram remains unused. Stray cattle are returned if owners pay a Rs10,000 fine within two days. "We add RS1,000 a day after that," said veterinary assistant Karunanidhi. Unclaimed animals are handed to NGOs. Veterinary officer Kamal Hussain said the corporation catches cattle based on complaints and hotspot alerts. "More cattle caught in an area can mean more complaints," he said. Many owners have no sheds. "After milking, they let cattle loose and coordinate on WhatsApp to avoid impoundment," said Arun Prasanna of People for Cattle in India. "Habitual offenders shouldn't get their cattle back," he added. Many cattle owners use river banks as cattle sheds. At Koyambedu, along the Cooum river, A Kalaiarasan rears 10 cows and 10 buffaloes. According to GCC norms, 36sqft space is needed to house one cow. He neither has the space nor the food for cattle. He said his cattle roam around the neighbourhood and return to the banks in the evening. "They're used to the lights and sounds of the streets," said veterinary assistant surgeon Dr Priya Vinnarasi. "Sometimes they won't even eat if tied up." Chennai's roads, it seems, suits cattle just fine.

Hazaripahad Rd turns into garbage dumping stretch
1 2 3 Nagpur: As rapid urbanisation spreads to the city's outskirts, Hazaripahad Road — once a clean, quiet stretch — has turned into a garbage dumping ground. With new townships and housing societies mushrooming in the area, vacant plots along the roadside have become hotspots for garbage disposal. Residents say construction debris, plastic waste, and household trash are being dumped regularly in open plots, posing health concerns. Open waste attracts stray animals, emits foul odour, and has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes, raising fears of a potential dengue or malaria outbreak. "Every morning, we wake up to a stinking mess. People from nearby buildings just toss their trash over the wall. We've complained multiple times, but no one acts," said Neeta Kale, a resident of one of the newly developed societies in the area. Another resident, Ashfaq Mirza, who moved in six months ago, said what should have been a green patch near his building is now a mountain of rubble and waste. "We were promised a clean and peaceful neighbourhood. What we got instead is a dumping yard that no authority seems to care about. Children can't even play outside," he added. Responding to the growing outrage, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has begun taking action. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Sector 36 Gets a Sobha Makeover – Are You Ready to Upgrade? Sobha Realty Book Now Undo Speaking to TOI, deputy commissioner of solid waste management department, Rajesh Bhagat, said that the civic body has identified 240 black spots across Nagpur where illegal dumping is rampant. "These were identified after an intensive, multi-week citywide survey. We have already cleared the first 40 sites, and a phased clean-up of the rest is currently underway," he stated. The civic body has also begun cracking down on unregistered and non-compliant garbage collectors. "Eighty such irregular collectors were caught during the drive and fined RS1,000 each. Many of them were found to be dumping waste at unauthorised spots instead of taking it to designated collection points," Bhagat said. Residents, however, remain skeptical. "We've heard promises before. Unless fines are strictly enforced and pick-up is regular, this problem will keep returning," said Nilesh Zade, a long-time local. While NMC's efforts mark a positive step, the success of the clean-up drive will depend on consistent enforcement and public cooperation.

Stadler unveils RS ZERO sustainable train in Czech Republic
Stadler has unveiled the RS ZERO, a train designed for zero-emission transport, at the Rail Business Days in Ostrava, Czech Republic. This fully decarbonised locomotive operates on both hydrogen and battery power and is expected to facilitate sustainable rail travel on Czech railways lacking electrification. With only 35% of the Czech rail network currently electrified, the RS ZERO offers a green alternative to the ageing diesel vehicles serving the remaining lines. The Czech Republic is the second country, following Germany, to witness the introduction of the RS ZERO. Stadler supervisory board chairman Peter Spuhler said: 'I truly believe that our RS ZERO can replace diesel vehicles, represents a compelling solution for modernising the fleet in the Czech Republic's non-electrified routes. 'The RS ZERO is capable of CO2-emission-free operation with exceptional versatility, functioning on both electrified and non-electrified rail tracks. I am very pleased to present this vehicle in Ostrava today.' The RS ZERO is the successor to the RS1 model and is designed with a fully decarbonised propulsion system suitable for non-electrified and partially electrified routes. It is available in single or double-car units, seating up to 165 passengers, and is ideal for regional services with lower traffic demands, offering both low-emission and emission-free hybrid operation. Furthermore, the RS ZERO boasts a range of up to 150km on a single battery charge and 800km using hydrogen propulsion system. Stadler Prague supervisory board chairman Zdeněk Majer said: 'The modernisation of rolling stock and railway lines is a key priority for both the Czech government and neighbouring countries. There is a clear need for sustainable solutions that increase financial efficiency and environmental protection. 'The RS ZERO embodies our commitment to the development of rail travel, providing comfort, efficiency and respect for nature - especially on non-electrified lines.' In related news, Stadler has secured a contract valued at approximately SFr350m ($419.3m) with A-Train, the operator of the Arlanda Express in Sweden. The deal includes the delivery of seven FLIRT trains and an option for an additional unit, along with a 15-year maintenance contract. A-Train plans to replace its fleet, which has been operational since 1999, by 2029.
