When most cities in India have clogged drains, Bengaluru quitely did something extraordinary... and that is the K100 project.

This is what happens when government, citizens, urban designers and technology comes together!!!

And behind every great climate initiative is a even greater story. This is that story. The story of how Bengaluru truned a storm water drain into a public hang out spot.

In the second episode of How Cities Move, we dive into the rhythms of the Indian Silicon Valley — from crowded BMTC buses to the expanding metro and the iconic Namma Yatri autos. We unpack what works, what doesn’t, and what the future of commuting in Bengaluru looks like with the sudden growth of travel tech to navigate through the mad traffic in the city.

Tune in as we explore the stories, systems, and struggles that keep the city on the move.

Every winter, the Yamuna turns white — not with snow, but with toxic foam.

In November, the froth returned yet again near Kalindi Kunj and the Okhla barrage, just weeks after Chhath Puja, reviving an uncomfortable question: why does India’s most worshipped river still look like this despite decades of clean-up efforts and crores of public money spent?

In this episode of Mission Planet A, host Rupa unpacks The Great Yamuna Lie. From untreated sewage and industrial discharge to detergent-laden wastewater and riverbed pollution, we trace the real reasons behind the recurring froth. Using pollution data, ground reports, and health insights, the episode explains why just 22 kilometres of the Yamuna flowing through Delhi accounts for nearly three-fourths of the river’s pollution.

We also look at the human cost — skin infections, respiratory distress, and long-term health risks faced by communities and devotees who continue to enter the river — and examine why repeated clean-up announcements fail to translate into real change on the ground.

This is not a story of sudden pollution.

It’s a story of systemic failure, misplaced priorities, and accountability delayed.
