Repeated accidents owing to the slippery surface of Maharaj Prithu Flyover, Ghy is a matter of concern. Requesting for kind attention. @himantabiswa Sir.
@rishi_baruah This is one of the older foot overbridges. Even the new one at Christian Basti(which I happened to use yesterday) is in a poor condition with non-functional lifts and escalators.
@Warlock_Aditya In a country like India, it's difficult to be Sachin Tendulkar's son. The amount of attention that you get and the constant public focus takes a toll.
The justification of external geo-political reasons for the current spate of fuel price hikes would have been acceptable if the Govt would have passed on the benefit of lower crude prices in the international market to the common man during earlier periods.
A fortnight ago, I booked an AC service with Urban Company.
I have four ACs at home—three split and one window. I just needed a general wash and service.
The technician arrived on time and immediately said, "Madam, we'll check the gas and cooling first. If there's a problem later, don't blame us."
I said, "Okay, check it."
He checked the first AC and said, "Gas is low."
He checked the second one and said, "Gas is low on that one too."
Now I felt a little strange... because I had just bought the second one new last year.
I said, "Check all four ACs first."
He checked all four.
He said, "Gas is low on three."
The machine showed an error on one.
But the funny thing is?
All four ACs were cooling perfectly fine.
Two were brand new.
One was 2 years old.
One was 4 years old.
I said, "Look, I just want my AC washed. If the gas is low, I'll have the company refill it later. You just service it."
But the real game began there.
He said, "No, ma'am, we won't service it without refilling it."
I said, "Does that mean I'll have to force you to refill it?"
I immediately called customer support.
But the answer was the same: "Ma'am, this is our protocol..."
I said, "Okay, then, I don't need any of your services. Cancel it."
The service was cancelled...
On top of that, I was slapped with a cancellation penalty, saying, "We sent a professional, but you refused."
All I was saying was, "I want an AC wash, not unnecessary gas filling."
Then I called my local AC guy.
He serviced it with ease...
And what was the truth?
Only one AC was slightly low on gas.
The other three ACs were absolutely perfect.
The cooling was also first-class.
If you keep pushing the service like this...
People will abandon the big companies and trust the local ones.
@volklub@HondaCarIndia I don't know how the honchos at Honda assess the market. One potent ammunition which they had is the Hybrid powertrain. They could have introduced it in lower variants thereby making it more reachable for those who love sedans but also need good efficiency.
@nitin_gadkari Ji, The performance of NHIDCL in Assam and the entire North Eastern region is extremely poor. Please conduct a thorough review and fix accountability. The condition of existing roads taken over by NHIDCL is horrible. Public suffering is at its extreme.
@FI_InvestIndia This has become the norm across all political parties.Political parties now try to create a dedicated votebank(to help them win elections) in the form of 'beneficiaries' of various cash transfers schemes even if it means putting the state's finances into doldrums.
@jayain_raju A good number of seats exist where the odds of winning of either side is equally good. These seats will determine who will form the next Government in Assam.
