कचरा गाड़ी 2 लाख की भी आती है, निकायों ने डेढ़ करोड़ में खरीद ली।
LED 300 की 12 हजार में।
ACS साहब बोले- “इस साल कार्रवाई होगी।” शायद जब तब गाड़ियां भी कचड़ा बन जाएं … कार्रवाई का इंतजार जारी है। 🚮

SHAME ON @PhonePe! Absolute FRAUD and mental harassment of users!
My failed rent payment of ₹1,02,750 has been held hostage since 25th September. As demanded by @PhonePeSupport, I even submitted my complete bank statement proving no refund was credited. They officially promised a resolution by 16th October—which turned out to be a BLATANT LIE!
Even after providing official bank proof and waiting past their promised deadline, @PhonePe has zero answers and refuses to return my money! Is this how you loot customers?

I demand an immediate refund along with statutory delay compensation per RBI guidelines for this blatant deficiency of service!

Karnataka’s groundwater crisis is deepening, with extraction likely to cross 70% amid drought, poor rainfall & inadequate recharge. Experts warn that while extraction levels of up to 70% are considered safe, rising demand could push into the danger zone.

If she is an IPS, she should know that :

Falling Bullets Are Lethal : After all, the projectile which was fired up will come down to the ground. She is firing bursts so essentially a cluster of projectiles of metal will fall down.

Terminal Velocity: A falling bullet reaches a dangerous terminal velocity—roughly 50 to 70 m/s possessing enough kinetic energy to fracture a skull.

Sets a wrong precedent : The people in civil feel that if police has done this then it’s safe.

Bullets are always fired either for effect or for practice. For practice they are fired in firing ranges on dummy targets with safety butts behind so that their energy gets wasted immediately.

Bombay Port Trust Salt Pan Road, Mumbai. 🚩 🇮🇳

My friends since the last & the past 9 years.

Entirely destroyed by worthless humans. Only 5% of the wetland remains for the birds & the bees to enjoy.

Totally degraded now & beyond repair. Rotting foul smelling water, no natural salt formation in the salt pans like in the past & about 90% has dried up.

गाजियाबाद: काजू कतली में निकला ब्लेड, शिकायत करने पर ग्राहक को धमकाने का आरोप

गाजियाबाद के शक्ति खंड-4 से मिठाई की गुणवत्ता को लेकर एक चौंकाने वाला मामला सामने आया है। बताया जा रहा है कि शगुन की मिठाई की दुकान से खरीदी गई काजू कतली में ब्लेड निकला।

आरोप है कि जब ग्राहक ने इस मामले को लेकर दुकानदार से सवाल किया और शिकायत की, तो समाधान करने के बजाय ग्राहक को ही धमकाया जाने लगा।

घटना के बाद मिठाई की दुकानों पर खाद्य सुरक्षा और ग्राहकों की सुरक्षा को लेकर सवाल खड़े हो रहे हैं।

New ECI trick to hide information:

Gyanesh Kumar's ECI is now trying a new trick to avoid furnishing information that can be inconvenient to him.

RTI requests are being rejected basically claiming that "Public Information Officers of ECI have other work and are busy"

This is nonsense because:

👉 Election work is ECI's permanent job. If that excuses delays/not giving info, ECI would never have to reply.

👉 ECI must appoint as many CPIOs as needed. Understaffing is ECI's failure, not the citizen's burden

👉 It has been RULED by CIC several times (e.g. Shiv Babu v MCD) that staff shortage and work overload are not excuses that can be given for not replying in time or for not providing information

Basically Gyanesh Kumar is now in panic mode and is using all kind of excuses to avoid getting caught.

Question is: HOW BIG are the scams at the ECI that they would go to any extent to hide information?

When I broke the story that imprisoned Elizabeth Holmes and Billy Evans were secretly forming a new startup to get back into the medical device industry, Evans fought me hard over Holmes’ involvement, saying she was on the outside of it and not an advisor. Which is why it was quite striking when, minutes into You Can See Everything, Fielder captures Holmes making calls about the new startup….
