Ashok Leyland is an Indian automobile company headquartered in Chennai, India. It is owned by the Hinduja Group.[3]
Founded in 1948, it is the 2nd largest commercial vehicle manufacturer in India, 4th largest manufacturer of buses in the world and 12th largest manufacturer of trucks globally. Operating nine plants, Ashok Leyland also makes spare parts and engines for industrial and marine applications. It sold around 1,40,000 vehicles (M&HCV + LCV) in FY 2016. It is the second largest commercial vehicle company in India in the medium and heavy commercial vehicle (M&HCV) segment, with a market share of 32.1% (FY 2016). With passenger transportation options ranging from 10 seaters to 74 seaters (M&HCV = LCV), Ashok Leyland is a market leader in the bus segment. In the trucks segment Ashok Leyland primarily concentrates on the 16 to 25-ton range. However, Ashok Leyland has a presence in the entire truck range, from 7.5 to 49 tons.
Is smog changing the face of Earth's water cycle?
In year 2000 satellite data showed that urban pollution was reducing the size of droplets inside clouds.
One effect was reduced precipitation from short-lived clouds in hilly regions. These clouds form when moist air rises above the hills and form raindrops. But they dissipate once they have passed over them, giving them a limited amount of time to drop their moisture.
The researchers were able to use this data as a measure of the amount of pollution in the air and then compare it to patterns of rainfall.
Hazy Days
To see how this was affecting precipitation, scientists looked at the difference between rainfall at a hill station. This latest research joins a growing number of studies showing the effect of pollution on the planet's water cycle.
Another study, shows that there are more intense storm systems over the Pacific ocean. By delaying the onset of rainfall, small particles in the air are apparently making storm systems over the Pacific larger before they eventually break.
Moreover, in January 2007 Stanford University, USA, showed that air pollution is reducing ground-level winds in California. This, in turn is reducing the amount of evaporation from the ground, lakes and rivers.
Conclusion is that we are changing the planet's water cycle in many ways: in the intensity of storms, in the redistribution of precipitation, by making clouds live longer and cover larger areas and by slowing low-level winds.

About 1.5 million people ride the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) each day.
Following a 90 minute short notice announcement to a two day public transit strike, that left commuters stranded last weekend, prompted a back-to-work legislation that has been pushed forward to all Toronto public transit employees - ordering them back to work.
Service was slowly returned in full service but City Mayor David Miller brought up talks of the the Toronto public transit service being deemed an essential service; which was a very hot debate topic at the TTC union table this week.
