Doon's marginal rise in cleanliness rankings fails to impress residents, activists
1 2 3 Dehradun: Dehradun's modest climb in the Swachh Survekshan 2024 rankings -- from 68th to 62nd -- has been welcomed by civic authorities, but residents and environmentalists remain unconvinced, arguing that the numbers fail to reflect the city's on-ground realities. This year, the city scored 7,614 out of 12,500 points, placing it 62nd among 95 cities in the 3-10 lakh population category. However, social activist Anoop Nautiyal said that despite the higher marks, the overall score proportion has actually declined. "In 2023, Dehradun secured 6,579 out of 9,500 marks -- roughly 69% -- and was ranked 68th out of 446 cities in the 1-10 lakh population category. This year, it's about 61%. While the marking scheme has changed, the proportion tells a different story. There's immense scope for improvement, but that needs an honest and objective assessment of our current situation. Cleanliness must be prioritised across cities, villages, rivers, forests and hills alike," said Nautiyal. Environmentalists echoed similar concerns. "Dehradun has all the prerequisites to be among the top 10 -- limited landscape, technology and a relatively educated population. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo Yet, we continue to fall short," said eco-activist Ashish Garg. He added, "Cosmetic changes aren't enough. Several areas still lack door-to-door waste collection, and garbage-vulnerable points remain eyesores despite official claims. Setting up decentralised waste processing units could improve collection efficiency and reduce the burden on the municipal corporation." Garg also emphasised the need for stricter enforcement and penalties. "Dehradun can't be called clean until it looks clean. We're far from that goal," he said. Experts also flagged Dehradun's continuing challenges with waste segregation at the source. "The successful Harrawala segregation model has yet to be scaled to other wards. Source segregation is key to effective waste management. The Nagar Nigam must focus on awareness campaigns and enforcement across households and businesses," said environmentalist Naveen Kumar Sadana. Sadana also advocated for decentralised dry waste collection centres and mobile drop-off vehicles, while urging better management of hazardous waste, which he said remains largely ignored. Civic authorities attributed some of the shortcomings to timing. This year's Swachh Survekshan inspections took place in Feb, during a sanitation workers' strike. The delay in forming a new municipal board also affected performance. Mayor Saurabh Thapliyal said, "Door-to-door collection has significantly improved since the Dehradun Municipal Corporation took over. Source segregation is now a major priority, and we're bringing in new policies to implement it across the city. We will begin with a few wards and scale up. Our target is to break into the top 50, and we're confident we'll achieve it."

Jubin Nautiyal says he is shifting from sad songs to uplifting romantic numbers
Mumbai, Jubin Nautiyal, best known for tracks such as 'Raataan Lambiyaan', 'Lut Gaye', 'Humnava Mere', 'Tujhe Kitne Chahne Lage Hum', and 'Tum Hi Aana', said he is transitioning from sad songs to more celebratory and uplifting romantic music. Jubin Nautiyal says he is shifting from sad songs to uplifting romantic numbers 'Genres have been hard back in the day. In 10 years of singing regularly, I've figured out that whenever I'm recording a song, I only think about whether I'll be able to do it or not. I always went and tried no matter if it worked or fails,' the singer told PTI in an interview. Nautiyal, whose voice has often defined heartbreak for a generation, said he is now discovering new dimensions in his singing. 'I'm able to sing genres which I never thought I could sing. I'm realising that people have started loving the romantic side of me, and I'm getting to do a lot of more fresh romantic sound. "There was a time when I was getting associated with the sad voice. To do 'Ishq Mera' and to get to sing 'Barbaad', which is a passionate romantic song, is a great thing,' he added. "Barbaad" is a track from filmmaker Mohit Suri's latest movie "Saiyaara", which marks the acting debut of Ahaan Panday, the cousin of actor Ananya Panday. It features Aneet Padda, known for her roles in 'Big Girls Don't Cry' and 'Salaam Venky', as the female lead. The 36-year-old singer expressed his gratitude to Suri for entrusting him with the song and believes it was tailor-made for his voice. 'Mohit knew how the song would sound in my voice before he even approached me. He was very confident. He's like, 'There's a song and I want you to do it'. 'Barbaad' can come across as a sad song, but it's not. I sang it like a sad song but then Mohit said that it's a falling in love song. This is one of those songs that people are listening to on loop and are making covers for it. When a song is good, that's what happens,' Nautiyal said. Nautiyal said it's a 'dream' for any musician to work with Suri, calling the filmmaker a 'cool guy', who provides clear creative direction. 'I like the way he puts music in his films, how he shoots music, and how he presents it,' the singer said, adding that Suri's talent lies in creating compelling soundscapes that resonate with audiences of all ages,' he said. 'Saiyaara' is produced by YRF's CEO Akshaye Widhani, and is set to release on July 18 worldwide. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

"Earlier, it was very difficult to dream of becoming an artist": Singer Jubin Nautiyal hails evolution of Indian music industry
By Palash Srivastava New Delhi [India], June 24 (ANI): Singer Jubin Nautiyal praised the current scenario of the Indian music industry, calling it more approachable and easier for upcoming artists to compose songs with the help of technology. In an interview with ANI, Nautiyal hailed the evolution of the music industry in India while referencing the recent collaborations between Indian and international artists, including Ed Sheeran and Arijit Singh's new hit song 'Sapphire'. The 'Raatan Lambiyaan' singer expressed his happiness at the consumption of Indian music in foreign countries and English music in India. 'Now, there is no national and international, it has all become one. And there's so much English music being consumed in India, and there's so much Indian music being consumed outside. So it's all the same now,' said Jubin Nautiyal. Jubin Nautiyal shot to fame with his song 'Ek Mulaqat' from the film 'Sonali Cable' in 2014. The singer gradually built his diverse discography with the help of memorable hits like 'Kuch Din (Kaabil), 'Bawara Mann' (Jolly LLB 2), 'Akh Lad Jaave' (Loveyaatri) and others. The singer called the present scenario of the Indian music industry a 'great time' for the musicians, as now they can compose their music independently without the help of a music label. 'It's a great time for artists, all the upcoming artists. It's a great time because now you can release your own music. You don't need an absolute music label to release your music. You can do your own thing as an independent artist,' said Nautiyal. Looking back at his struggling days, the singer said that earlier, the path to success for music artists was quite 'difficult' as it required a lot of struggle to reach a breakthrough stage of their career. He added that music composition has become easier and more approachable due to technological advancements. 'Earlier, it was very difficult to dream of becoming an artist. There was a lot of way to even reach a point where people will accept that, Okay, now you should start struggling in your journey to become an artist. But now you can dream and figure it out. Today, making music has become so easy because of technology, and singing has become so easy. Everything has become so much easier and more approachable. So I think it's just showing the power of music as how deeply everybody wants to connect to music and do a lot of crazy things in music,' said Jubin Nautiyal. Nautiyal has been in the music industry for over a decade. He believes that music has become more approachable and will blossom in the coming five years. 'In five years, I think we'll be, we'll multiply at least four to five times as an industry. It's amazing. Today, anybody can approach music. Earlier, you had to buy a cassette to even start, and a CD to even start. But now, just one click and you can listen to a song that was released in Africa 15-20 years back. So that's the power we are at right now,' said Jubin Nautiyal. Jubin Nautiyal's recent song, 'Barbaad,' has created a buzz in the entertainment industry. It is the second song from the upcoming movie Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and starring debutant Ahaan Panday in the lead role. The movie is produced under the banner of Yash Raj Films. It is slated to release in theatres worldwide on July 18, 2025. (ANI)
