Must say Madhya Pradesh had rapidly moved up my favourite states list - closing in rapidly on current #1 Sikkim After a wonderful couple of days in Bhopal, now very impressed with Indore. This is at Chappan, a pedestrianised street dedicated to food. 1/2
I met the officials and local shopkeepers who have so worked hard to make Chappan such a fun street - it's done so well - clean, masks enforced, staff fully vaccinated. All Indian cities need places like this 2/n
Indore is a good demonstration of how the administration, political class, common citizens and business community can come together to create a well run city. It is obvious as soon as u enter the town. And love the Indori pride...... 3/n
Spent time trying to understand the policies that transformed Indore in last 3-4 years. They are all common sense - literally nothing that cannot be re-created elsewhere. Many states have sent officials to study it, but no one has quite succeeded yet. Need to understand why...4/n
