Governance is so broken on this city even walking on the footpath can be fatal
#Blast on #Bengaluru footpath ! A transformer box on the footpath outside the Amazon office on Baglur Main Road exploded, injuring two persons walking on the pavement. One fell and suffered severe burns to his hands; the other had minor injuries. Another girl student escaped unhurt. (📹 was captured by Arun G, a parent on the way to drop his kids to school) How are these transformers allowed on busy footpaths? What if child or a pregnant woman or person with disability was walking? Who is responsible? @timesofindia

I need a legal advice from all legal experts here! Suppose a thief enters my house...Shall I catch hold of him first OR should I ask him his "identity" first to save myself from being arrested under some special Act?

Every well wisher of India should hope that @ncbn’s ambitious Amaravati project succeeds. A country of 1.5 billion people needs at least one well-planned, livable metropolis.

Time for India’s own social media platforms. Should India follow china’s lead in this respect?

One thing is clear: the Delhi protesters want to plunge India into chaos, and stop the nation's progress. We must defeat this malicious agenda, which is aided and abetted by powers that want to destroy India. We have a vibrant democracy and elections are the proper way to express our collective judgment.
CJP is a fake cover for anarchists. It is not spontaneous. 20 days there was nothing happening. it is only on the opening of parliament that political crowds joined. It is preplaned and organised. It should be crushed with iron hand. ndtv.com/india-news/brutalit…

Proud to see our portfolio company, The ePlane Company, pull back the curtain today on the e200X (PT-01) the full-scale physical reality of their physics-first approach to aviation. While the industry has spent billions building massive aircraft that require cities to completely rebuild their infrastructure, Founder Prof. Satya Chakravarthy and the team took a completely different path. At just 8m × 11m, the e200X is the world’s most compact passenger eVTOL, engineered to carry a pilot + 200kg of payload out of current helipads. Watch the full global reveal film here: #AdvancedAirMobility #eVTOL #DeepTech #Innovation #Aviation
e200X PT-01 is here. 🚀 There is a definitive moment when an aerospace program shifts from sub-scale into a 2.2-ton full scale reality. For us, that moment is now. This aircraft is the culmination of half a decade of uncompromising engineering. We didn't just jump straight into a full-scale build. We spent the last five years proving our architecture in the sky pushing our sub scale demonstrators like the ATVA in 2021 and the heavy-lift e50 in 2023 to the limit. Across those platforms, we logged over 10,000 kilometre of real-world flight testing. 🧵 (1/2)

In Philippines? Curious choice. Is there a quad expansion on cards?
Looking forward to joining @SecRubio this week in the Philippines for our second Ministerial Quad meeting of the year. The United States is committed to a free and open Indo-Pacific, our Quad partners are essential! 🇺🇸🇮🇳🇦🇺🇯🇵
