India actually has a Minister for Environment.
He has a full Ministry with huge staff.
We pay for it each month.

#DigitalIndia: To get a 5-min #PUC, upload docs on Parivahan, wait a month, discover your middle name is a bureaucratic crime, then pay ₹300 to a guy who gets instant responses from the same useless site.
Truly, the future of eliminating bureaucracy. 🚀
India’s March to a Digital Bureaucracy
Over the past month I have tried to get the PUC (Pollution Under Control) certificate for the car of an elderly relative. Normally it is straight forward. Go to a PUC Center and in a few mins it’s done. Now however it needs “digitisation” to do the PUC.
You go to the Parivahan website to update your details and upload documents. The PUC Center guy said he can do it for ₹300. It seemed like a straightforward task so I decided to do it myself. Uploaded the requisite documents. For almost a month no response.
Today was driving and saw another PUC Center. Decided to check. He said he can do it for ₹300. Also said the govt website is useless for the consumer. Gave him the details. He had an instant response telling him the name in Registration Certificate and Aadhar was a slight mismatch. The name and surname matched. But the Aadhaar had a middle name as well. So it was a mismatch.
His Solution: Change the name at RTO or Aadhaar so that the PUC can be done.
So many questions on this digital bureaucracy.
1) Why should getting a PUC even need such a requirement?
2) Doing a name change means going from the online to the offline world - which defeats the purpose of digitisation
3) Why does a govt website provide instant response to a vendor but not the citizen?
Digitisation was supposed to eliminate bureaucracy. Instead in the Transport World - India is instead becoming a digital bureaucracy @nitin_gadkari @MORTHIndia

Cars need PUC certificate
What about cities ?
We pay challans on breaking signal
What about potholes, who pays for the substandard roads ?
Accountability is for citizens
Tax money is for corrupt babus and netas

Mumbai is the financial capital of the world's 4th largest economy.
The government collects road tax, GST, fuel tax and income tax.
And after spending all that money, this is the quality of road repair.
Imagine what the condition of smaller cities must be.

It is now becoming increasingly clear that @IndianOilcl, @BPCLimited and @HPCL are misleading consumers about ethanol blending in petrol. Serious questions remain over whether the actual ethanol content exceeds 30%. What a shame! These companies have completely lost public trust under a government that has failed to ensure transparency and accountability. Even the PM seems unwilling to address these concerns. Bunch of Fraud Idiots

Both my cars in India are compatible only with E25.
Now the government seems to be selling petrol with 30–50% ethanol. So I pay taxes, follow the rules, and get stuck with fuel my cars may not even be built to handle.
At this point, I might as well park them—and set fire to my cars.
Hopeless Hopeless Situation (it's a curse to be born as an indian and I had 4 chances in the last 16 years to throw a toilet-grade Indian passport in the garbage; how stupid I was to believe in the Indian story)
I have collectively paid INR 1 crore in various taxes to purchase these cars.
My own gov is 3rd-rate chor.

#WATCH | Bengaluru: Speaking on Oil Marketing Companies' statement on the state's E20 fuel testing, Karnataka Minister Rizwan Arshad says, "Whenever any agency comes out and points out any flaw, any wrongdoing of the Central Govt, the BJP and its ecosystem tries to discredit everybody. The same thing they are trying to do with us also...Do you think ordinary vehicles used by middle class, upper middle class, working class, their two-wheelers are compatible with E20, E30 fuel? We are a Govt of people. We will keep asking questions..."

Here we go again.
Just last week, the petroleum minister had said that there's no plan to increase ethanol blending.
Now, we have another union minister saying that there are discussions about higher ethanol blending upto 30 %.

न्यायालयाच्या स्पष्ट निर्देशांनंतरही नियमांचे उल्लंघन तेही लोकप्रतिनिधीं कडून ! प्रश्न उपस्थित होणारच.

People: “AQI is 2000! We’re dying!”
Government: “Stop complaining! India is progressing. We’re the world’s 4th-largest economy!”
People: “But what’s the point of GDP growth if we die from pollution?”
Government: “Too bad. This is the best we can do.”
People: “Can we at least protest?”
Government: “Complain again and we’ll throw you in jail for being anti-national!”
Welcome to the absurdity of GDP without quality of life.

I can confidently say that the oil companies that added 30% ethanol to petrol are not going to face any consequences whatsoever.
In the US there would have been a class action suit and the company would pay billions to settle, with every customer getting some money.
