  • lack of sewerage networks resulting in polluted lakes
  • traffic jams and high levels of pollution especially on Outer Ring Road
  • very little open spaces and parks for the public.

  • No. of voters in 2008: 2,75,355
  • No of voters in 2013:  3,68,511

From 100% attendance to only 26%, how did your MP perform this Budget Session? See who is truly representing your voice in our MP Tracker.

When Ranjan Gogoi, the former Chief Justice of India, retired from the Rajya Sabha two months ago, his performance in Parliament became a matter of debate.
