Sleeper buses: Luxury outside, death trap inside
Sleeper buses look luxurious, but many are built on unsafe chassis, illegally modified, stuffed with flammable interiors, and fitted with narrow exits hidden behind curtains. These buses are visually appealing but mechanically risky .
Don’t board blindly. Know the risks, demand safer buses, and stay alert .

Our cities need inclusive streets
Around 11.8 lakh people with disabilities live in Tamil Nadu, many of whom struggle every day to access and navigate public spaces. Yet, our streets and other public infrastructure continue to exclude them. Even newly developed pedestrian plazas, such as Khader Nawaz Khan Road, suffer from design flaws that discourage people with disabilities from using these spaces. Seemingly minor design details are often overlooked, making public spaces inaccessible. This year, we ask the authorities to include experts on access in the design stages of development.
Environmental Sustainability - Phase XI
Jan 2026 - Dec 2026
Tamil Nadu has emerged as a key site for climate action in India, with multiple institutions, policies, and programmes addressing mitigation, adaptation, and renewable energy transitions. However, climate action on the ground continues to be constrained by uneven institutional readiness, fragmented coordination across departments, and limited availability of credible, field-based evidence to inform planning and implementation. At the same time, decentralised renewable energy (DRE) solutions are expanding across the state, yet their social, livelihood, and access impacts remain poorly documented, weakening policy design and financing frameworks. Public engagement on climate issues also remains episodic, limiting citizen participation and accountability. This project responds to these interconnected gaps by strengthening institutional preparedness, grounding climate action in lived experience and evidence, and enabling sustained public engagement to support more coherent and inclusive climate governance in Tamil Nadu.
