Problems exist not just in equipment, but on training, practice, operational readiness and protocols. The railway station had plenty of cops with rifles. None of them opened fire even when the terrorists were in plain sight. Why was the zeal to fight back missing? Goes beyond material measures and ...

Wonderful to see Tejas being put through its paces. I just wish the headline about the 'snags' also said that they were fixed within 12 hours. The manner of reporting makes all the difference in the final perception.

Wastewater reuse like the example below can help with growing grass/vegetation on roadsides and communities. This one is targeted for golf courses but could be re-purposed for other uses including playgrounds and gardens.

If they can select certain areas to focus on and then re-purpose waste water to irrigate the area then it may work. A lot of discipline is required by the authorities and the ci...
