After a prolonged phase of governments commercialising the commons, time to ask the difficult question. @TVKVijayHQ @CMOTamilnadu @actorvijay timesofindia.indiatimes.com/… We need more open, wooded, areas that can be accessed free of charge in TN.

👩🦰👩🦱👩 Triple riding on a two-wheeler, kicking road cones & creating nuisance 🚫
🚓 Police swiftly identified & issued challan for:
➡️ Triple ride violation
➡️ No helmets
⚠️ Warned & advised — road safety is everyone’s responsibility!
⚠️ “Road safety isn’t a joke, it’s everyone’s lifeline!”
🌆 Let’s make Chennai City Roads safer!
🚦 Follow traffic rules, wear helmets, avoid triple rides.
🚧 Respect public property — cones, signals, dividers protect us all.
👩🎓👨🎓 Youth & citizens: together we can build a responsible and safer Chennai.

Election commissioner Sukhbir Singh Sandhu, His son and two daughter in-laws will receive SIR notice.
Reason : Self name mismatch/Parents name mismatch/Unmapped with last SIR.
SO will the BLO serve the notice and ask them to appear for the hearing?
Breaking: Election Commission has published the list of 33 lakh voters who will be served notices under the Delhi SIR.
I see @ArvindKejriwal and his families names mentioned in the Notice list published by the EC.

Throwback to when Jyotiraditya Scindia had the anchor address him as “Maharaj” and his son as “Yuvraj” at the Madhya Pradesh League opener.
Does he even know that India is a democracy? 🤡🤡🤡

THIS NEEDS ATTENTION! 🚨
No doors. No drainage. No roofs.
Instead what Adivasi children get is school bags with CM’s face printed on them.
PR seems to matter more than these children’s future.

The monarchy ended, but apparently nobody sent Scindia the memo.
A citizen says, “Build the road on time or we won’t vote.”
Scindia replies, “Never use this language in front of me.”
Sir, your ancestors were kings. You’re an elected politician. Citizens are voters, not subjects in your kingdom.

NEW | No country for walkers
A pedestrian-hostile environment and the failure to encourage non-motorised transport has meant that India continues to botch both its first- and last-mile connectivity. G. Ananthakrishnan (@ganant) writes.

#BREAKING: All government schools in Gautam Buddha Nagar in UP have been directed to be CLOSED immediately.
This is after we inspected just ONE SCHOOL in Noida.
What is the UP government trying to hide?

#WATCH | Noida, Uttar Pradesh: CJP Spokesperson Saurabh Das launches School Audit under 'School Theek Karo' campaign.
He says, "Today, we’ve come to Noida. We’re going to audit some schools here as part of our 'School Theek Karo' campaign. We’ll see the conditions in which children are studying. Noida is one of the better districts in UP, so hopefully, the school conditions will be good too. Whatever the situation is, we’ll show you the reality. We want young people from UP to go out and audit schools as well—to show what condition the schools in their neighbourhoods are in and what kind of education children are receiving. Today, we’re planning to visit schools in Noida, but we’d encourage other young people to take on this responsibility too and audit schools in their own areas..."

This is a primary school in Noida, a city supposed to be one of the most prosperous in entire UP.

At an SIR center because this useless and incompetent Election Commission of India claims that I didn't provide my parents ID. I did.
There were signs at the gate but nothing once I entered. Someone exiting pointed me towards where to go. I'm now in queue but everyone i speak with is in line because others are. There's no info, no instructions. Nothing.
Useless and incompetent. It's why we have the mess that we have. Wasting peoples productive time on a Monday.
