Hi

I have just joined this e-group and have been requested to introduce myself.

My name is Debi Goenka, and I work with a NGO called the Bombay
Environmental Action Group (BEAG) which was formed in 1977. I have been with
this group since 1983.

One of the issues we are working on is sustainable mass transport, and also
trying to get the planners to restore the roads to the pedestrians.

We have also been actively working on a campaign to clean up the air
(anti-vehicular pollution), and to try and stop the government from building
more flyovers, and also commercialising the space under the flyovers.

We have also part of a network of NGOs in Mumbai called NeTrA - Networking
for Transportation Alternatives, which is a coalition of groups interested
in mass transport issues. I am presently the Convenor of this group (default
option) until we find some one else!

Incidentally, I have also just started an India e-group for WSSD, which
hopes to reflect citizen and NGO concerns at WSSD.

My contact details are below.

Cheers

Debi Goenka (Mr)
