Stop spreading fake news.
EC acted basis the Supreme Court order dated 27/5/2026 & used its discretion powers to design the documentation framework only during the “SIR phase”.
Also, Form 6 was never changed, an addendum was added, which ain’t “unauthorised/illegal” because discretionary powers were provided by SC.
Lastly, SIR was a cleanup phase, and since that phase is over, they are reaching out to voters who have been left out.
My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.
When a soldier runs for India, history follows. 🇮🇳
Heartiest congratulations to Indian Army athlete Sawan Barwal on ending India’s 44-year wait for an Asian Games marathon medal with a historic Silver!
With a phenomenal 2:11:37 and a new National Record in the Men’s Marathon, he has exemplified the grit, discipline and indomitable spirit that define our Armed Forces.
A proud moment for the Indian Army. A proud moment for Bharat.
Congratulations, Sawan! The nation salutes your remarkable achievement.

Sir,
Kindly have a discussion regarding this suggestion on 9 PM Talking Point.
It might give solutions.
Thanks

The most expensive part of a hospital bill may never touch the hospital at all.
A patient admitted for care has no way of knowing whether the price on a medical consumable reflects its actual cost or a markup fixed long before it ever reached the ward. That gap in information is, at its core, a public health issue.
A survey of hospital consumables in Maharashtra found an IV infusion set with a trade price of ₹11.05 carrying a printed MRP of ₹325 ; a markup of 2,841%. A syringe procured at ₹6.75 carried an MRP of ₹57.20. A catheter procured at ₹29.41 carried an MRP of ₹310.
These are not elective purchases. Patients cannot compare prices, seek alternatives, or question a number printed on a box while receiving care and the MRP itself is often fixed upstream by manufacturers and distributors, disconnected from the trade price by a wide, unexplained margin. The result is a system where the party bearing the cost has the least information to evaluate it.
The regulatory gap is structural: scheduled medicines are capped under the Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013. Most medical devices and consumables are not leaving both the pricing and the information around it almost entirely unmonitored.
A review of these findings and clear guidelines on the permissible gap between trade procurement price and declared MRP have been recommended to the Department of Pharmaceuticals and the NPPA ; a step toward closing not just a pricing gap, but the information gap patients are left to bear alone.

Every mobile phone call you have ever made was compressed before it left your phone.
Your voice does not travel. A mathematical description of your voice travels, and the phone at the other end rebuilds it.
The man who worked out how to do that was born in Kanpur.
His name is Bishnu Atal.
He was born on 10th May 1933. He took a physics degree at the University of Lucknow in 1952, then a diploma in electrical communication engineering at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore in 1955. He taught acoustics there for 3 years.
In 1961 he joined Bell Laboratories in New Jersey, and stayed for 35 years.
The problem he worked on sounds dull until you understand what it prevents.
Sending a voice as raw sound uses an enormous amount of bandwidth. In the 1980s, as mobile phones spread, the networks began to fill up. There is only so much radio spectrum, and it cannot be manufactured.
Without compression, mobile telephony would have stayed a luxury for a small number of people. There would not have been enough room in the air for everyone.
Between 1966 and 1970 Atal developed what is called linear predictive coding.
The idea is elegant. Human speech is highly predictable. The sound you are making now is closely related to the sound you made a fraction of a second ago, because it is produced by the same throat and the same mouth shape.
So instead of sending the sound, you send a small set of numbers that describe how the sound is being produced, and the receiver uses them to reconstruct it.
His early version worked at 2,400 bits per second, which was extraordinarily small. The American military adopted it for secure telephones.
But it did not sound like a person. It was intelligible and slightly robotic.
He spent the next 15 years fixing that. In 1985, with Manfred Schroeder, he published the method called code excited linear prediction.
That one is in almost every digital cellular standard in the world. GSM. CDMA. Voice calls over the internet.
He holds 16 American patents and many international ones. He was made a Bell Labs Fellow in 1994. The American National Academy of Engineering elected him in 1987. In 2003 the Franklin Institute gave him the Benjamin Franklin Medal in electrical engineering.
The Franklin Institute wrote one line when they gave it to him.
The next time you make a call on your cell phone, think of Bishnu Atal.
Almost nobody does. In his own country, almost nobody knows the name at all.
Standing quietly in a corner of the metro with Earbuds on, a trolley bag beside him, glasses in his pocket and absolutely no VIP attitude
At first glance, 99% of people would think—Just another teacher or private-sector employee
But wait… you’ll be shocked to know who he actually is
This is former Indian fast bowler Javagal Srinath
A legend with 300+ ODI wickets, and currently an ICC match referee.
Yet there he was, travelling in the Bengaluru Metro just like any ordinary passenger. No security drama. No superstar attitude. No VIP show-off.
Being famous is easy. Staying grounded after achieving everything is the real greatness🇮🇳
Respect for this incredible simplicity
Having grown up among Hindus, and having my closest friends(who are family), I have not had one single interaction in my life, where they have mentioned about Manusmriti or their homes had the book of Manusmriti on their book shelves or even in their Mandirs.
I don't know any conversation in my life till know, whether political, whether ideological, whether religious, where my Hindu friend, acquaintance or opponent, has brought up any verse from the Manusmriti.
In my online debates, with thousands, no Hindu has even remotely mentioned about the Manusmriti. My leftist Hindu friends have never brought it up, their strong difference with me continues to be our differing views on our Prime Minister,Mr Narendra Modi.
My right wing friends, have not in any debate mentioned the words Manusmriti. Even hardline right wing followers have never left a reply under my tweets, mentioning Manusmriti.
My everyday life in Pune since childhood is lived amongst a Hindu Majority and in all my experiences, there is no symbology I have seen in public spaces, where there is any imprint of verses from the Manusmriti.
My closest Hindu friend is an Atheist and co-incidentally, his name is Rahul too. My son is surprised that how come Rahul Chachu is an Atheist and still be a Hindu and not face any backlash from his community, rather it is treated as a matter of choice.
I told him, that is the beauty of the faith he is born to, he can be a Hindu, regardless of his views on his faith, a privilege which Abrahamic children of India will never have.
He can be a Hindu and be among those millions and millions of Hindus, who have never even heard about the Manusmriti and are reminded every now and then of it, by Leftist Hindus and now by the opposition leader of India, Mr Rahul Gandhi.
A believer like Narendra Modi is a Hindu and Rahul Gandhi who attacks the Manusmriti, he too, is seen as a Hindu by the 1 Billion Hindus of India.

Dear Sirs,
This person disrespecting the Indian National Flag should be prosecuted. Could you kindly take it up with their local Govt. or through our embassy there or their ambassador here, pls.
This is not acceptable.
Me: Guruji, how do you remain calm in every situation?
Guru: I remind myself that I am made of mud and one day, will go back to being mud.
Me: And that keeps you so steady?
Guru: When you remember how temporary you are, pride feels unnecessary… and anger feels small.
From helicopter to muddy ground, the Nepal Army kept pushing forward to save lives.
883 people rescued, including 350 trapped inside the Upper Trishuli Hydropower tunnel.
This is courage. This is humanity. This is the Nepal Army. 🇳🇵
