@GatwickExpress This was the delayed train from BTN that left at 16:19. I got on at 16:18 and the on board supervisor had been announcing about this strange change right until then ...and even helping others off. I missed all that.

@GatwickExpress How can you have a @GatwickExpress from Brighton, which chooses not to stop at Gatwick airport? It's in the name, no? I missed my flight because a delayed GX decided to travel straight to LV from BTN.

A win for good journalism! Indian authorities need to also look at the processes that kept this going for so long ...

Imagine being paid Rs 1000 per month for working 6-8 hrs per day
Salary of cooks-cum-helpers in midday meal programme, 90% women, remains Rs 1000 since it was fixed in 2009

I am in the field, carrying out the requisite for my PhD. The last time I received my JRF stipend from @ugc_india was the last week of June 2024. After that not a single penny. And it's not only me. Several students at JNU are facing this problem.

I appeared for the UGC NET on June 18, which has now been cancelled. It is ableist and does NOT care about disabled candidates.

Dear @SouthernRailUK, why doesn't your website allow users to get e-tickets on all routes? It's really baffling that you talk about going green and force paper tickets on passengers.

The disaster & deaths will be blamed on ‘climate change’ & Cyclone Remal. It has become a norm to blame everything on climate change to hide the destructive ‘development’ that our govt agencies are pursuing by cutting down hills, quarrying & who-gives-a-damn-to-the-envt attitude
