Five years of silence becomes a family’s housing crisis. Meerut’s development authority is under court scrutiny. 12,907 residential structures now face eviction and demolition. Planning failure should be stopped before homes reach demolition.

Maharashtra's drought is already here. 265 tehsils are affected. Crop-loss aid comes after assessment. For a farmer losing a season, the relief timetable cannot stay unclear.

After a fire, families should not depend on which fund answers first. 15 young people died. One disabled survivor faces ₹70,000 in monthly treatment. A fair compensation rule should exist before disaster strikes.

A health centre without working equipment is not ready for care. At 64 facilities, missing Covid-era parts halted medical machinery. FIRs and recovery are a start. Public equipment needs a public trail.

5,500 children at 400 Vadodara anganwadis went without their daily milk for a week after a payment dispute. Supply has resumed. But basic nutrition should not depend on an emergency bill clearance. A child’s glass of milk cannot be a paperwork delay. #PublicMoney

A court found the arrest illegal. 13 days in custody cannot be reduced to a number on a case file. Police power needs reasons, safeguards and accountability before someone loses their liberty.

Eight years for a constitutional answer. A petition filed in 2015 reached a Constitution Bench in 2018. Judgment came in 2023. When constitutional questions wait, citizens wait too. A permanent bench cannot be optional.

Festival food should not be a gamble. Before families buy sweets or ghee, they should not need a raid to learn what was unsafe. Seizure is only the first step. Inspection findings and follow-up should be easy to check. Food safety is basic.
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seized food products worth about ₹30.82 lakh and suspended the licences of five Mumbai establishments during a statewide crackdown on suspected adulterated, substandard, mislabelled and unsafe food ahead of the festive season. ✍️ @yokelish_me thehindu.com/news/cities/mum…

₹8.7 crore. No approach road. Near Karwar, a bridge was completed in 2022. CAG says the approach roads were not built, and land acquisition had not begun. Public money crossed the river. The road did not. #PublicMoney

Lucknow’s food-safety raid reportedly found hygiene violations inside mall restaurants. A diner sees the menu, the bill and maybe a rating. Inspection reports, violations and the deadline to fix them should be public, searchable and updated. #FoodSafety

A ₹57.74 lakh bill raised in 2007, for extra power the consumer had declined and never received in 1998. The Electricity Ombudsman struck it down. So did the High Court. The state distribution company appealed anyway. That 2013 appeal was decided only this week. #PublicMoney
The Supreme Court has observed that ordinarily an electricity bill needs to be raised within two years of the consumption, and if the amount is sought to be recovered beyond the two-year limitation, then the said amount needs to be continuously treated as a recoverable arrear.

Rule 37 of the General Financial Rules: a government employee is personally liable for money lost to fraud or negligence. Nagaland's new CAG report: a ₹952 crore Food & Civil Supplies case was still awaiting departmental and criminal investigation on 31 March 2025. #PublicMoney

Parliament lost 79h 34m to interruptions in its last Monsoon Session. An RTI asked what disruptions cost taxpayers over the last 10 Rajya Sabha sessions. The Secretariat said that wasn't “information” under the RTI Act. If it isn't tracked, who is accountable? #PublicMoney

Gujarat told its assembly that 62 lions died of disease in the year to 31 July. 28 of them were cubs. The post-mortems list septicaemia, pneumonia, haemorrhagic pneumonia, anaemia. The state runs eight wildlife treatment centres for a population of 891. #AsiaticLions

When a builder wants more time, he files affidavits and explanations. The buyer still paying EMIs on an unfinished flat gets no recorded say in any extension order homebuyer group FPCE checked in seven states. One project: buyers had paid 99-100%. Construction certified: 55%.
A homebuyer had paid Rs 91 lakh — 65% of the price of a Rs 1.4-crore flat — in a #Karnataka project that was already running on borrowed time. Its RERA registration was due to expire in October 2020. Nine months of Covid relief followed. Know more 🔗toi.in/RRdoqb Story only available on the TOI app, download now! 👉 timesofindia.sng.link/Cqhd4/…

Rules notified June 2025. Compliance letter July 2025. Show-cause October. Suspension September 2026. Fourteen months in which drivers went without the ₹6 lakh medical and ₹10 lakh term cover those rules promised. The correction now lands on anyone in Chandigarh needing a cab.

District mental health programme: the hospital OPD, outreach visits, training for health staff. The layer meant to bring care closest to home. States spent ₹328 crore of the ₹691 crore approved for it over five years. Tele-MANAS 14416 #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #PublicMoney

An unpaid challan follows an ordinary motorist to insurance renewal and fitness checks. Karnataka's own government vehicles ran up 82,478 violations in three and a half years, ₹19.23 crore still pending. The police oversight body had to write to the Chief Secretary. #PublicMoney
The Karnataka State Police Complaints Authority has written to the Chief Secretary seeking immediate action to recover more than ₹19.23 crore in pending traffic fines imposed on government vehicles, including those belonging to the police. thehindu.com/news/national/k…

The five-day bank week was agreed in the 8 March 2024 wage settlement: Saturdays off, 40 extra minutes Mon-Fri. It has sat with the Finance Ministry ever since, two and a half years. Talks failed again this week. Strike 11 Sep, 28-30 Sep, indefinite from 26 Oct. #PublicMoney

The health ministry told Parliament in 2024 that states check medicine expiry at district level, "ensuring no expired products are distributed". Families in Kanpur say the flood relief syrup they got had expired in July. A printed date is the easiest check there is. #PublicMoney
