Shameful

Only when I am confined to bed. But even in this case, washing your face in the morning is a must…

True

Walking is the most basic form of mobility but walkable infrastructure is non-existent in Indian cities. Unsafe and poor state of footpaths are pushing people to switch to motorised vehicles. While pedestrians still are the biggest share of commuters, our cities give disproportionate importance to vehicles. So, why do Indian cities ignore pedestrians?

In this documentary, we go around different cities, speak to experts, look at data, and try to unpack the issue that invariably affects every urban Indian.

The night after the crash, things took a surreal turn: Vincent was back on YouTube, broadcasting live from his usual perch on a brown sofa.

“What’s going on everybody?” he said breezily. “We’re back with another stream and this one is going to be a little different from the previous ones.”

A few minutes later, he started to explain: “In a neighboring town, unfortunately, two girls were killed in a hit-and-run crash,” he said. “There has been a lot of misinformation going on over the internet. But I will say this: I wish my sincerest condolences to those girls, lost in that tragic accident.” He then said that he was “not authorized to talk about the whole thing,” and moved on.

On local Facebook groups and at a memorial that sprouted at the crash site, people expressed outrage: Why was Vincent free? They wondered if it had something to do with his father being a police officer in another New Jersey town, and another relative being police chief in nearby Westfield. (The Union County Prosecutor’s Office would say later that the driver had been released after questioning on Monday “pending further investigation.”)

On Wednesday, two days after the crash, the prosecutor’s office said the driver had been arrested on two counts of first-degree murder, a charge that entails “intentionally, knowingly, or purposefully” causing someone’s death.
