Babeijoda in Odisha has stayed clean, litter-free and plastic-free for last 15 years thanks to a strong community spirit.
Why not we take this as a mission in every village and every city?

Former, CVC chief, CAG chief, Bank chiefs, PSU chiefs, even Supreme Court judge joined Reliance, the company that they should have dealt with in some capacity as Regulators, after retirement. Shouldn’t there be a ban on such post retirement jobs which create conflicts of interest while in position?
🚨 Tukaram Munde's FDA exposes daylight robbery in healthcare?🔥🔥
After restaurants,
Tukaram Munde goes after corruption at private hospitals,
Private hospitals are engaging in serious profiteering from medicines and consumable items:-
An IV set bought for ₹11.05 was billed to a patient at ₹325.
That’s a 2,841% markup.
And the Maharashtra FDA has found other shocking gaps too:
Catheter:₹29.41 → ₹310
IV set:₹11.05 → ₹325.
Under FDA chief Tukaram Mundhe,
Authorities are now examining these massive markups and possible measures to control them.
Patients often have no idea what hospitals actually paid for these consumables.
They simply get the bill.
One of the biggest reasons why Healthcare inflation is at 14% is that hospitals are charging crazily,
Private hospitals have no right to loot patients this way. There should be strict action on hospitals, including cancellation of licenses for repeated defaulters.
Patients shouldn’t also have to pay thousands of percent markups on basic medical devices.
It just makes quality healthcare unaffordable for the middle class.
Transparency in hospital billing is long overdue

Let’s join hands and create a movement that will make real change happen. If you are unhappy with the way you live, WhatsApp photographs, videos with the date and location on 9910331864 and I will amplify it. Let’s start, we deserve cities that we can live in.
For too long, Mumbai has believed there were two rulebooks- one for the ordinary citizen, another for the influential. If Tukaram Munde is proving otherwise, Maharashtra should protect officers like him. Nothing restores public faith faster than seeing the powerful treated like everyone else. Nothing destroys it faster than transferring the officer who made that happen. Let’s hope this time it’s different.
#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: On MMRDA employees using public transport every Friday under the BKC Weekly Public Transport Day initiative, MMRDA Metropolitan Commissioner Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee says, “…It was unanimously decided that Friday should be observed as 'Public Transport Day' in BKC. This is entirely a public initiative. It is completely optional, and it is expected that every citizen who works or lives within the BKC jurisdiction shall observe Friday as a public transport day. This means they would choose to walk, use a carpool, or take the bus or metro…I think that the initial response is pretty good, but the coming Friday will tell us what the real response is, and I am very hopeful about it…”
Meet Vivek Sharma, a https://t.co/YSvOF5fxhn Computer Science gold medalist from IIT Bombay, who left a $240,000-a-year (₹2.9 crore) US job to run a small grocery store beneath his house and take care of his parents by staying close to them.
Coming from a simple lower-middle-class family in Kanpur, he worked incredibly hard to achieve his dreams. His father was a railway clerk, and his mother gave tuition classes to support the family.
Like many Indian parents, they sacrificed everything for their son's education. Their savings were used, jewellery was sold, and every rupee was carefully managed so that Vivek could study in Kota and later get into IIT Bombay.
Years later, all those sacrifices seemed worth it.
In his final year, Mr. Sharma received a dream job offer from a San Francisco-based startup with a package worth nearly $240,000 per year. Visa sponsorship, relocation, a global career.....
everything was ready.
Right before joining the US job, tragedy struck. His father suffered a heart attack, and his mother was diagnosed with cancer.
He chose to sacrifice his career.
Now, he runs a grocery store. He also teaches coding to underprivileged children. Vivek says, "My parents are my biggest company."
IndiGo cracked profitability with brutal simplicity 🔥
With reaching 10 Minutes earlier on every flight, they get to the next gate quicker & that ends up adding 200 extra flights a year.
Hot food requires heavy ovens. By going completely oven-less, removing that extra 20kg reduces weight & slashes fuel costs.
Multiply those fuel savings across 7 lakh flights, and they save ₹400 crores per year.
Ruthless operational common sense. 🔥
