Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued an advisory to all media channels to refrain from using Civil Defence Air Raid Sirens sounds in their programs other than community awareness drives: MHA order

It is astonishing & deplorable to see how some prominent TV media channels kept broadcasting fake & unverified news throughout the news purely for sensationalism & TRPs.
It is also shocking because this was done at a time when India is facing an armed attack by the enemy & the entire nation is in a state of anxiety.
The Govt of India as well our Armed Forces have been constantly appealing against sharing of unverified news. Despite that, TV channels chose to broadcast fake unverified “breaking news updates” which led to an unnecessary burden on our Armed Forces to constantly issue clarifications while they’re busy protecting our nation.
Some channels even shamelessly branded a victim of Pakistani shelling in Poonch as a “terrorist”.
Incidentally, a few days ago, the Parliament Standing Committee on Communications & IT (of which I’m a Member) conducted a hearing with major media stakeholders on the issue of “fake news.” It seems that despite all their assurances to Parliament, certain TV channels chose the path of sensationalism last night in complete disregard towards public interest & national security.
My office is in the process of issuing notices to the said TV channels calling for a clarification on this under extant regulatory provisions. Meanwhile, this issue will also be flagged to the Parliament Committee for its consideration & examination.
At this sensitive hour, it is the DUTY of every Indian to stand with our Armed Forces & to behave in a responsible manner.
TV channels that are trying to make profits through sensationalism & exploiting an attack by the enemy on our nation, especially when our brave Armed Forces are fighting for us, is UNACCEPTABLE & must face serious action.

Supreme Court-appointed panel on 3 farm laws found that:
"Out of 73 farmer bodies that made submissions to committee, 61 farmer bodies representing 3.3 crore farmers (85.7%) fully supported farm laws."
Farmers were misled by communists who lied to them that laws are against MSP
What an idea sirji… We have been doing similar things by covering canals, but this would substantially increase coverage. It’s worth looking at even if cyclists don’t use expressways…and who knows, maybe it’ll kick off a recreational cycling boom.. @nitin_gadkari

Humanity is on the cusp of practically limitless energy via nuclear fusion and basically nobody is talking about it, which is nuts.
I left working in fusion because I was skeptical of the field's ability to progress, but my mind has totally changed (1/n)
