Hats off to @gupta_rekha Thoda sa barish me pura sultanpur south delhi dub gaya. Kya development hai!

[Pallabi Sen @PallabiSen]

@gupta_rekha @bsesdelhi No action has been taken. Bhai pura delhi ke power cut de. Aur DC aur DGM ko aise hi salary de dena.

[Pallabi Sen @PallabiSen]

@gupta_rekha @bsesdelhi Many times we have complained about low voltage at Aya nagar phase 1. The lineman came, checked, and then closed the complaint. As the DGM and DC are inactive, no action has been taken yet. If your employees have no intention of working, then close it.

Former editor of a leading newspaper can't get his passport renewed to attend his daughter's wedding abroad. And can't cast his vote. What a joke this country has become under under the Modi govt and partisan Election Commission. All of this under watch of constitutional courts

The Telegraph editor’s passport not being renewed in Kolkata

Note from R. Rajagopal
Former Editor, The Telegraph
——-
In March this year, my name was deleted from the Ballygunge constituency electoral roll in Kolkata, apparently because the Special Intensive Revision process could not trace either my name or that of my late father in the 2002 voters' list. My father, a Gandhian, retired professor and former State Secretary of the Gandhi Smarak Nidhi in Kerala, passed away in 2016. I remain unable to understand how a conscientious voter like him could have been absent from the rolls.

Like nearly 27 lakh other residents of West Bengal, I was excluded on account of what were described as “logical discrepancies”. No reason was furnished even after I submitted my matriculation certificate, and my appeal is now pending before one of the tribunals constituted pursuant to the Supreme Court's directions. As a consequence, I was unable to vote in the recent election.

More distressing has been the fate of my passport renewal application. Although I completed the biometric formalities on March 19, 2026, police verification has not been cleared because my name no longer appears on the electoral roll. Despite submitting several alternative documents, I have been informed that they are insufficient. In fact, today (June 27, 2026) is the 100th day since my biometrics for passport renewal were taken. I was formally informed last week by the passport-issuing authority that Kolkata Police sent an adverse report, citing the deletion of my name from the voters' list. I have been asked to appear before the Regional Passport Office in Calcutta "immediately" but when I sought an appointment, without which it is difficult to gain entry, the date granted is July 17, 2026.

In between, our daughter, a journalist in California, got married in San Francisco on April 17. Needless to say, it would have been impossible for me to attend the wedding in the absence of an active passport, notwithstanding my possession of a valid ten-year US visa.

For all practical purposes, I find myself in a state of civic uncertainty although recently the government iterated that a passport is no proof of citizenship. Much of my time is now consumed by efforts to reconstruct family records and secure documents dating back several decades….

My days begin with checking my voting right appeal status and then the passport tracker. Then I write to the college where my mother taught in 1965 and to her school from where she passed out in 1959, asking for any document that proves she existed. The school has been very helpful but not the college. Similarly, I speak to prohibition campaign activists in Kerala, running down a list I collected after coming across an activist's name in a group by chance, asking for any news clipping or photographs that show my father campaigning against illegal liquor vends and communalism.

Some close friends and public figures have helped me in all these efforts. However, I am unaware if any media outlet or journalists' association or guild (of which I am not a member) has shown any interest in my situation. A senior journalist reminded me that this situation is by no means unique as "rejection" has been the daily certainty confronting millions of Indians for centuries. I accept that point.

My intention has never been to project myself as a victim. Rather, I have wanted to underline a larger point: if someone who spent his professional life in journalism and edited a relatively known newspaper can encounter such difficulties, one can only imagine what the truly marginalised must endure. Did I approach any newspaper? No, because I do not want it to become an issue concerning me. Do editors and journalists know about my issue? Of course, several do. If they don't, they should not be in the profession, don't you think?

Yet, the complete silence of newspapers on this issue has confirmed my suspicion, now reinforced with personal experience, that so-called mainstream journalism has little to do with my life. I do not "read" any newspaper now. I glance at some but hardly find anything that piques my interest.

@NTA_Exams Dub maro tum log! Students k future le k aur kitne khelna hai? Shame on you!

Student arrives 2 minutes late, misses NEET exam; daughter breaks down in tears outside the center; father says they traveled 70 km and encountered rain along the way.

Education System 💩💩

[Pallabi Sen @PallabiSen]

Day by day your services are getting poor. Your driver's are very unprofessional. He waited me 10 mns and then he is not picking my ph. Not he is coming to the location.@RapidoCares @rapidobikeapp and you guys do not take any kind of actions against them.

[Pallabi Sen @PallabiSen]

Thanks @deepigoyal for this amazing service. 2 hours late. I think people can travel from one city to another but @zomatocare 's order cannot be reach on time. Irony.

“If my Pradeep were a minister’s son, the whole system would’ve been shaken. But the government is turning a blind eye as he’s a poor man’s son,” said Rajesh Meghwal, father of Pradeep Meghwal, a 22-year-old NEET aspirant who d!ed by su!cide. Report from CJP’s Jaipur protest.

[Anshul Saxena @AskAnshul]

To all NEET aspirants,

Don't fall for campaigns that emerge just a day before your exam.

It is June, and many exam centres may have long queues and hot weather conditions. Wearing black in extreme heat can make you uncomfortable, tired, and distracted. Instead of focusing entirely on your paper, your mind may remain occupied with the protest and people's reactions to it.

The people starting these online campaigns will most likely be sitting comfortably in AC rooms. They are not the ones who will be facing the heat, the stress, and the pressure of your examination.

Avoid rumours, panic, and unnecessary chaos.

If you wish to protest, you can do so after the exam, whenever you want and however you want. But don't let a protest distract you on a day that could shape your future.

Your career is more important than online trends. Stay focused, stay calm, and give your best.

@NTA_Exams Sharam kr k dub maar. Nahi ho rahe toh students will help you!

[National Testing Agency @NTA_Exams]

Reference the issue with regard to allotment of a centre in Abu Dhabi to a candidate in Nagpur, NTA would like to state the following:

Following the rescheduling of NEET (UG) 2026 to 21 June, the National Testing Agency reopened the examination-city correction window to assist candidates.

Key points:

High success rate: Around 3.2 lakh candidates used the correction window, and NTA allotted the preferred examination city to over 99.5% of them.

On the 'Abu Dhabi' query: NTA's web-activity records indicate that the city change in this case was made through the candidate's own registered login during the open correction window, with a consistent single-user access pattern.

Immediate Resolution for
Last-Minute Requests: Despite the Abu Dhabi centre being chosen by the candidate, the NTA received an informal request on the evening of June 19 (just 48 hours before the exam) to change the centre to Nagpur. NTA personnel immediately initiated the change and contacted the candidate's father on 19th evening itself to help them complete the formal process.

NTA has observed that on 3 occasions, one - the centre was changed to Abu Dhabi using candidate’s credentials and twice it was previewed that the centre is Abu Dhabi. Despite that NTA has accorded to aspirant’s request and the change of centre was actioned.

A "Student-First" Approach: The NTA's priority is that no candidate misses the examination over an administrative doubt.

[All India Trinamool Congress @AITCofficial]

A shocking new low in POLITICAL VENDETTA.

What exactly are you plotting, @SuvenduWB?

Removing the long-serving security personnel protecting @MamataOfficial is not administrative action, it is a CALCULATED MOVE TO ISOLATE AND ENDANGER HER.

Your obsession with vendetta politics and your insecurity-driven abuse of power exposes exactly who you are.

If 'petty politics' had a face, it would undoubtedly look like yours!
