दिल्ली, मुंबई, बेंगलुरू, कोलकाता और कोच्चि जैसे महानगरों में मेट्रो अब परिवहन का मुख्य साधन है। अब लखनऊ, जयपुर जैसे टियर-टू शहरों में भी इसका विस्तार हो रहा है लेकिन इन शहरों में यात्रियों की संख्या के लिहाज से मेट्रो सेवा को अपेक्षित सफलता नहीं मिल पाई है।

Developmental pressures have seen the Yamuna riverbed in Delhi eyed by various developmental authorities -- power plants, refugee settlements, Metro station, Akshardham temple. The list goes on. Now, an elevated road is proposed on the river's floodplains

Gaon Connection offers a pictorial tribute to these farmers in a photo essay.

Worldwide, there are 422 trees per person, but India has only 28 trees per person. On one side, the tree population isn't strong and on other side, trees are constantly being chopped off in the name of urban development
