MBRDI’s 5-Year Clean Green Nandi Project Enhances Biodiversity, Clears 46,000 Kgs of Waste

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Bengaluru, September 12, 2023 – Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India Pvt Ltd (MBRDI) today announced the successful completion of its ‘Clean Green Nandi’ project, a five-year initiative aimed at restoring the natural splendour of Nandi Hills, Bengaluru, in addition to helping enhance the livelihoods of the local community.

Initiated in 2018, the project was in response to the heightened tourist footfall at the hills, which led to pressing issues of pollution, soil erosion and deforestation resulting in drying up of life-sustaining rivers and the accumulation of plastic waste in the area. Scientifically approached through a topological survey and a holistic study, MBRDI undertook efforts to restore water bodies, set up waste collection infrastructure, influence visitor behaviour and protect the biodiversity of Nandi Hills. MBRDI’s sustained efforts have resulted in the collection and management of 46,000 Kgs of waste, 85 Lakh litres of pooled water, construction of 11 check dams and a 3% reduction in plastic generation.

“At MBRDI, we integrate sustainability into every facet of our operations. Aligned with the global sustainability agenda of Mercedes-Benz, our endeavours aim to create a positive influence on the lives of local communities and the surrounding environment. The ‘Clean Green Nandi’ project is an exemplary demonstration of our dedication to advancing environmental sustainability and fostering social cohesion,” said Shweta Pandey, Vice President and General Counsel, MBRDI.

Integrating employee volunteering into the project, over 500 MBRDI employees clocked in close to 5,000 volunteering hours conducting tree plantations and clean-up drives, further restoring the natural balance of the hills.

Empowering Sustainable Livelihoods and Preserving Heritage:
MBRDI undertook a 45-day training program for local women, teaching them innovative ways to transform uprooted Lantana stems into eco-friendly household products. The project cleared 60 acres of Lantana, an invasive weed that poses a critical threat to biodiversity and empowered women to earn sustainable livelihoods through a Self-Help Group.

In tandem with the ecological efforts, MBRDI also engaged in the conservation and protection of cultural heritage at Nandi Hills. The restoration of the Armory at the hilltop, creation of accessible pathways and the installation of informative boards have enhanced visitor awareness about the historical significance of the location.

In line with global ambitions, sustainability is a crucial driver of business strategy at MBRDI. Corporate Social Responsibility efforts are centred around the pillars of Sustainable Mobility and Environmental Sustainability with a clear focus on creating value that is sustainable – economically, ecologically, and socially.

Modi govt to take stern action against terrorists of hiding in PoK, to confiscate their properties in J&K

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the efforts of Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah, the Indian government has resolved to seize all the properties belonging to militants hailing from Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) who have sought sanctuary in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Scores of militants, native to the volatile region of J&K, have sought refuge within PoK for an extended duration. This decision heralds the commencement of the property confiscation initiative, spearheaded by the Modi administration.
In this regard, a proclamation was issued by the J&K Police, underscoring its unwavering commitment to take decisive action against all terrorists who have sought refuge in Pakistan. The assets of those local insurgents, who originate from J&K and have relocated to PoK in a bid to evade arrest, will be subject to forfeiture.
The J&K Police have meticulously compiled a comprehensive roster of terrorists who were once active across various sectors in the region but subsequently sought shelter within PoK. This comprehensive list encompasses more than 4,200 militants who have resided in PoK since 1990.
Back in 1990, a multitude of youths traversed the Line of Control and ventured into PoK, and they are now poised to engage in terrorist activities within Jammu and Kashmir once more. The assets belonging to such insurgents are currently undergoing confiscation, and this process will persist.
Under the purview of Shah, who is dedicated to establishing a terrorism-free India, vigilant surveillance is being maintained over these insurgents who perpetuate terrorism from their positions beyond the Line of Control (LOC).
The Modi administration has unequivocally affirmed that any attempts by these terrorists to re-enter Indian territory will be met with lethal consequences. A group of 9 to 12 foreign terrorists, who were making their way from the Kulgam-Shopian districts of the valley toward the Rajouri-Poonch districts of the Jammu division, has already encountered the fatal repercussions of this resolve, with three of them meeting their demise, while the search for the remaining culprits continues.
In line with Shah’s foresight, extensive preparations to combat narcotics trafficking are currently underway. Shah staunchly contends that narcotics trafficking, and the ensuing illicit proceeds, sustains the terrorist agenda.
Consequently, the simultaneous targeting of terrorism and the narcotics trade is deemed imperative. The act of expropriating the assets of the native inhabitants of Jammu and Kashmir, who impede the nation’s peace and advancement through their involvement in terrorist undertakings, marks an innovative stride in the construction of a rejuvenated India.

Ekam Sanatan Bharat Dal Party Press Meet

We from Ekam Sanatan Bharat Dal Party have lodged a complaint in Police Commissioners office against Udhayanidhi Stalin (Minister for Sports) in Tamil Nadu for his irresponsible comments comparing “Sanatan Dharma” to Dengue and Malaria and hence he calls for its eradication.

We equally condemn A. Raja (Gen Sec for DMK) for his comments comparing “Sanatan Dharma” to HIV(AIDS) and Leprosy.

Also we condemn Priyank Kharge (Minister for Panchayath Raj and I.T) and G. Parameshwara (Home Minister) from Congress Party for irresponsible comments and their ignorance of Sanatan Dharama.

Booking Udhayanidhi Stalin and A. Raja under IPC Sec 293 A and IPC Sec 153 is not sufficient. The Central Govt should immediately act and book them under NSA without fail.

Further we request central Govt to pass new bills and laws to Strengthen Sanatan Dharma and its followers this coming Winter Secession and also in its manifesto for 2024.

The BJP should leave its craving for power and work in the interest of majority Hindus who voted them to power said Mr. Gnanesh, State President, Karnataka.
