The “COVID-underrepoting” news would have been the biggest talking point in India if there was no tension between India and Pak. A reason why they chose to release this data now.

@lkoairport
Please help us - we had a connecting flight to Pune from Lucknow yesterday and forgot one of our handbags on the seats near New terminal 3 Gate 16. It's a blue handbag. We have registered a complaint on your website too, the reference number is LR-19305

Feels great to be quoted in this @BBCWorld article on delimitation!

It's an honour to be mentioned alongside stalwarts like @AiyarYamini @srajagopalan @PalshikarSuhas and @MilanV

This is a clip from a National TV reality Comedy show from 2009-10 on National TV.

Congress was in Power, Manmohan Singh Ji was the Prine Minister of India.

Comedians came, mimicked him, mocked him & Sonia Gandhi without fear and never faced even outrage forget police cases.

If anyone tries this today with Modi and Shah, the whole studio would be burnt down, everyone involved would be arrested.

That is how Modi has destroyed India's democracy. Those days were golden.

Trust me, these news stories are less than a week apart 🤣 #KunalKamra

Translation: The scheme has failed.

Even in the second round, it still remains in pilot stage. 1 crore youth in five years was the target, only 1.27 lakh in the first round.

THE ROAD WILL BE BUILT ON THE TEKDI

The way the PMC defines tekdi is like saying a road is not a road because it's a street. Thousands of trees will be cut for no reason. Please oppose this shit

[Sumita Kale @sumitakale]

Same propaganda again!

"रस्ता टेकडी वरुन जात नाही"

Why do Pune admin and politicos need geography lessons!
Read thread and see the photos - do @mataonline reporters need a walk to see the trees marked and the slope there?

It’s crazy that this is the headline of a major economic newspaper. Good news?! One more addition to plethora of harebrained ideas govt’s implement.

[Siddharth Singh @siddharth3]

This should be the biggest headline of the week, rather than what comedians say and do.

Marine heatwaves going from 20 days per year to over 200 days per year in the Indian Ocean is extremely concerning.

Will have significant economic consequences on India and other countries.

@Miheer01 and I write on Mumbai’s proposed policies to address the city’s urban congestion. @LoksattaLive

@Miheer01 and I write for Loksatta on Mumbai’s urban congestion and suggest policy solutions to reduce the number of vehicles on the road.

This is scary. As someone who's climbed the tekdi all my life and enjoyed every moment there as an escape from the hustle and bustle of a city, an ad for a building there feels like something in me just died. Shame.

This TOI edit should have been suitably titled: "Tragedy and spinmaster"

Here is an excerpt from the edit piece.

"Kumbh stampede is big news. But the bigger picture is that so many crore for devotees came and went unharmed, that deaths from stampedes even in a crowded country like India are only a fraction of total deaths from various causes. Alzheimer's is the 7th leading cause of death worldwide but deaths from this disease never make page 1- a gruesome murder or a Kumbh stampede does."

In Uttarakhand, rules for live-ins:

Fill 16 page form. Tell government of all your past relationships. Get certificates which say you are eligible to marry. Submit live-in registration details to landlords and local police.

India in 2025. 👏👏👏
