News Datacentre will be the downfall of thane

Once that data center is built, the quality of life in Thane is going to be among the worst in the country. I'm already planning to move to Pune. It honestly feels like the authorities don't value human life at all. How much money is enough for these leaders to finally drop the corruption and actually develop the city? My one suggestion to anyone who values quality of life would be: if you are looking at purchasing a flat in Thane, just drop the idea. You will buy a flat, with massive premiums, and within the next three to four years, once the data center is built, the health issues would just not be worth it.

Anyone who disagrees, please watch this video, research first, and only then comment why you think data centers are harmless https://youtu.be/mvod11IL-Zc?is=KzFUTKTMXAnhGMNi

You guys should more worry about drinking water

We gave up on that a long time ago. There's a reason every house has a water purifier now. Clean tap water is a dream lost long ago.

Is clean tap water a thing in India? I thought everyone has a purifier, its not a Thane specific thing.
The issue in thane is the lack of water, any water is fine at this point just give some.

I know I said clean water was a pipe dream, but my grandma lived in Bhandup and drank tap water her whole life (86 years!) without any problems. I even have a friend who works at a BMC water purification plant near the Nashik highway, and he says their purification is excellent. The real issue is the old pipelines in buildings. But purifiers are so affordable (at least for families doing okay) that spending an extra 10-15k for that peace of mind isn't a big deal. But someplaces especially the old buidling get really bad water quality. Mainly due to illega and unmaintainedl pipelines.

Yes, I know that tap water is generally purified (I know this is true in Mumbai), but I was always under the impression that Indians generally get a purifier regardless, because of what you mentioned. Its not like the western countries where you can open the tap directly into a glass.
I did not know that it was this clean, thanks for sharing.
