Ashish Shelar’s idea of beautifying Bandra, apparently, is spending public money on oversized, ornamental installations while much of the neighbourhood continues to struggle with broken footpaths, encroachments and basic civic infrastructure. Bandra needs proper footpaths, better roads and functioning civic infrastructure. Not ugly vanity projects dressed up as beautification. Who is asking for these projects, who is approving them, and who is being held accountable for how public money is spent?

Crazy break by Scroll's @sighyush. Remember the legal notices sent to digital rights groups @internetfreedom and @SFLCin? Turns out not only is the notice sent in the name of the RSS fake, even the Delhi Police communication to X is fabricated! [What a tale that encapsulates the madness of India's online censorship regime. Even scamsters feel they can swing a hit.] scroll.in/article/1096912/do…

Siang Dam protests have brought out a side of Northeast Indian leadership that mainland India rarely gets to witness.

the fact that the ultimate victory in an indian's psyche is to make others seethe with envy reveals a consciousness so thoroughly colonised by the gaze of others that even joy has to be performed for an audience. His idea of prosperity is not abundance but comparative humiliation

All in for this policy but in many scenarios state labs are not equipped enough and Government Analysts in smaller state labs make mistakes. If after final testing at CDL Kolkata or any other big lab the sample does not fail will the Government state lab or analyst be penalised and how will the company be reimbursed for loss of revenue during the time period when the case is being challenged in court? @bytesofnews #Pharma @MoHFW_INDIA @livemint @CDSCO_INDIA_INF @toi #Pharma

Individuals named as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-appointed Booth Level Agents (BLAs), and listed as ‘objectors’ in at least 77% of the total 1,021 deletion applications filed so far in Delhi’s Mustafabad constituency, have largely denied any association with filing Form 7s as part of the continuing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the city. The Hindu contacted all 20 BLAs registered with the BJP, according to the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) records, who are named as filing the 787 Form 7s, which cite reasons such as “absent/permanently shifted”, “already enrolled” and “death” to seek the deletion of electors’ names. ✍️ @suruchiarchives thehindu.com/news/cities/Del…
