How do teachers / educators manage to achieve such heartlessness? All they need to do is permit & the student will get s little less time to write the exam.

Sad.

From strengthening urban services at BWSSB to steering KPTCL, @PrasathIas has consistently demonstrated exemplary leadership & admin excellence. As he takes on the addl responsibility of Tourism Comm, K'taka can look forward to fresh ideas and impactful initiatives. Best wishes.

Mr @lkatheeq will make a great choice as Rajya Sabha MP ! He knows the problems of Karnataka inside out, he's a seasoned bureaucrat and more importantly a person who is empathetic!

[Mohammed Rumman Khan @Mohammed_Rumman]

Activists pitch @lkatheeq for Rajya Sabha, call him ‘secular technocrat’.

Mr Atheeq represents competence, policy understanding and inclusive governance. His academic engagement and global exposure give him a rare perspective that Parl currently lacks.

More bad news for mobile phone users in India (after SIM binding): Our government is mandating a government app (sanchar saathi) on every new phone, permanently, Reuters reports.

Will be pushed to your phone via OTA. New smartphones need to have it. Users cannot delete it. This is a first. India has never before required an unremovable state app on every device. Russia does btw, with its MAX Messenger (started September 2025).

A few comments regarding this:
1. Sanchar Saathi is a lost phone tracker, but if it gets embedded with no possibility of removal, it becomes a government tracker on your device.

IF the government is allowed to get away with this, what’s next? A mandatory digital ID app? Digiyatra forcefully installed on each device? An app that disables VPNs or tracks your app and browser history? An app that sends copies of your messages to the government once a month?

Once the OS layer is opened to the state, it doesn’t close.

2. Legally, one can argue that your mobile phone is your personal space, and this is an invasion of your personal space.

It’s where we have our most private conversations. Exchange sensitive information with people we trust.

How do we know this app isn’t used to access files and messaging on our device, which is unencrypted on device? Or a future update won’t do that? This is clearly an invasion of our privacy.

3. Remember how the government exempt itself from much of the Data Protection Law. This explains why.

The Data Protection Law will make private companies more accountable and the Indian government less accountable.

4. Bloatware is already an issue with some phones (It’s why I don’t use Samsung). Now there’s more, and this time the government is forcing bloatware. I guess we’ll all have to root our phones now. When you buy a phone with bloatware, you're choosing to buy it with bloatware. This is different.

5. The way things work with India’s Department of Telecom, there was no public consultation, the order wasn’t disclosed. Just forced. This is dictatorial in nature. If they get away with this, more will follow.

Indian media gives it back to Australian media in the language it understands best.

Respected @Rangepol_SR sir,

There has been no response from the inspector or the concerned officer regarding this case. Their lack of action is unacceptable, and they remain clueless. I urge you to expedite this matter and ensure that we receive closure without further delay.

My father-in-law has been repeatedly asked to visit the NR Mohalla Police Station in Mysuru to file a simple car theft FIR. Urge higher officials to intervene & address anxiety this is causing our family.

Just participated in the #JoinTheCommute initiative & for the first time as a Bengalurean, I experienced a government officer truly engaging with the people. @DCPSouthTrBCP traveled with me to my office, patiently listened to all my traffic probs, and assured of changes on ground
