@jai_samota@PadhegaIndia_ Many thanks. Ordering now. This is one person and one battle that should be taught in every school. Been to the Rezang La memorial twice. The new one is a true dedication to the warriors
On Nov 14, 2017, 31 million Americans woke up sick.
None of them had felt a thing the night before.
Nobody's body had changed. A committee moved a line on a chart — and half of American adults became patients overnight.
I was one of them. 🧵https://t.co/eeZutjLZON
Family with 2 young kids, confirmed @IndiGo tickets booked with @HDFC_Bank INFINIA smartbuy, web check-in done. Boarding passes issued, entered airport via @DigiYatraOffice.
Yet they were denied boarding because booking was allegedly modified via a third-party app using a random phone number not linked to them.
IndiGo could not explain:
• How the change was authenticated
• Who authorized it
• Who paid ₹5,000 for the modification
• Why checked-in passengers were removed from the flight
They were stranded late at night and forced to buy fresh tickets the next day.
If third-party apps can alter confirmed, checked-in bookings without proper passenger verification, this is a serious passenger security issue.
Formal complaints filed with @IndiGo6E, @DGCA, @AirSewa & @MoCA_GoI

I have some advice for those impacted by what is looks like a CBSE scam. Please share this with those who are impacted:
A few days from now, maybe even today, a commission or a committee to probe this issue may be announced. Some bureaucrat will be transferred. Some minister might be moved to a different portfolio.
The system will now seek to calm this storm by doing pointless face-saving shit to buy time.
Media frenzy will die down. Journalists will move to a different story. Opposition will find a new issue to highlight.
You're not their priority. It's just how things work.
A few words of advice from an older hand who has done something to make things better re what you can do:
1. Don't give up. Don't stop till you get what you want. Identify a solution that you want. It could be a re-exam, or the demand for re-examination of marksheets. I don't know. Identify solutions and make a list. Demand outcomes.
2. Things will keep changing. Anticipate. Respond. Don't piss on anyone and don't make it personal. It's about the issue not the person.
3. Don't appoint a leader. Leaders get targeted, maligned and taken down. Don't give any lever to the dirty tricks departments. They're already rolling out their toolkits.
4. Twitter, YouTube and Insta are your turf. Don't go offline. Those rules are different. Cops are thugs. India is not Nepal / Bangladesh. Democratic process: Use your voice and the platforms you know better than the Ministry of censorship.
5. Mail your MP, MLA, political party people. Find their numbers and call them up. Calling really works. Flood the lines. Their emails and numbers are online. Tell them what you think. They'll need your votes in the future. Make them accountable to you by asking them to speak for you. Don't request. Demand that they do something. Be angry. That's how the message goes up the ladder. This should be your next step. If enough of you do this, things will change.
Find other ways to keep this alive without breaking the law.
There's an old blog post I've been thinking about a lot of late: Nobody cares. Just win.
I hope things work out for you.
@think_in_points A regular clean up is a must or no quantum of storage will ever be enough. I use travel time for this. On last occasion deleted over 200 videos and 2000 photos taking up about 3 GB space. Once I cleared 9GB
