Giving residents the first right to their own streets". This simple agenda is what Chennai's tax payers who support the @chennaicorp demand of it.
Saying that "we don't have resources to give you what is a legitimate right" does not stand.
If you have an efficient machinery to collect taxes from us, it is only fair that you deliver services to us.
Make properly earmarked parking in streets a paid facility available only for residents. Create paid public parking zones for visitors or those who don't have such facilities.
Eliminate jay parking from our streets. Fine violators strictly. Bring transparency. @CMOTamilnadu@JCDPrabhakar@TOIChennai@the_hindu@NewIndianXpress
Starting tomorrow, Supreme court of India is on a six-week summer vacation and will be operating at just 19% of its capacity. There are 53 million cases pending in Indian courts - 93,143 of them are pending in the Supreme Court.
A judge can go on a vacation, a judiciary cannot.
"I didn’t pick up a girl from that garbage dump. I picked up a diamond."
This is not a movie story. A real miracle happened in the state of Assam.
Soberan, a 30-year-old man, earned his living by selling vegetables. He was not married yet.
One evening, while returning home after work, he heard the sound of a baby crying from the bushes near the road.
When he went to check, he found a new born baby girl left alone on a garbage pile. The child had been abandoned. Soberan looked around, but no one was there. The baby was innocent, cute, and beautiful. Not knowing what else to do, he took her home with him.
He decided to raise the baby himself instead of getting married. He named her Jyoti.
He worked hard every day and night to take care of her, making sure Jyoti never faced any hardship. He sent her to school and fulfilled all her needs.
Even if he went hungry, he never let her suffer. Jyoti completed a degree in Computer Science in 2013. She then began preparing for competitive exams.
She passed the Public Service Commission exam in 2014 and got a job as an Assistant Commissioner in the Income Tax Department.
Soberan cried with joy when he saw his daughter achieve something he never had the chance to do.
Jyoti now takes care of her father, but even after all her requests, he still continues to run his vegetable business.
Soberan told the media, "I didn’t pick up a girl from that garbage dump. I picked up a diamond. She is the light of my life."
Both of them are truly inspiring people.
Tax Paying Middle Class Waiting for VIP to move in Bengaluru. A tax payer sits on the road, claims that his wife is pregnant. But No. He is not a VIP. Just a tax paying voter 😭😭😭

His name was Pradyumn Thakur.
He was 7 years old. Class 2 at Ryan International School in Gurugram, Haryana.
His father dropped him at the school gate at 7:55 am on September 8, 2017. At 8:08 am, he was found outside a washroom with his throat slit. He was rushed to hospital and declared dead on arrival.
The school did not call the police. His parents did.
Haryana Police arrived three and a half hours later.
They noticed blood stains on bus conductor Ashok Kumar. The same clothes he wore while carrying a bleeding 7 year old child to a car.
On September 10, the Police Commissioner held a press conference. He declared Ashok Kumar was the killer. He said Ashok had tried to sexually assault Pradyumn and murdered him.
The Chief Minister of Haryana congratulated the police for solving the case.
The Bar Association of Gurugram passed a resolution refusing to let any lawyer defend Ashok Kumar. The Supreme Court later disciplined them for this.
Pradyumn’s mother said from day one she believed Ashok was being framed.
CBI took over the case.
They found no forensic evidence against Ashok Kumar. No evidence of sexual assault. The gardener who was first at the scene said he saw no blood on Ashok before Ashok helped carry the child. The claimed semen sample did not exist. [Source: CBI chargesheet 2018]
In November 2017, CBI arrested the real accused. A 16 year old student at the same school. CBI said he confessed to killing Pradyumn to get his exams cancelled.
He chose his victim randomly.
Ashok Kumar was acquitted of all charges on February 28, 2018. [Source: Child Special Court Gurugram judgment February 28, 2018]
In January 2021, CBI charged four Gurugram Police officers with framing Ashok Kumar. Falsifying documents. Torture. Criminal conspiracy. [Source: CBI chargesheet January 2021]
Those four officers have not been convicted.
The Police Commissioner who declared Ashok guilty on television faced no consequences. The Chief Minister who congratulated police faced no consequences.
Pradyumn’s family is still waiting for justice for their son.
Follow for stories India deserves to remember.
A retired Army soldier Udayveer Singh — who served the nation for 20 years — was stabbed to death by Mohammad Akram in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan.
His daughter’s emotional video says it all: “An army man who served the country for 20 years is not safe today.”
His name was Manjunath Shanmugam.
He was an IIM Lucknow graduate.
He got a job with Indian Oil Corporation as a sales officer.
His territory was Uttar Pradesh.
He found that petrol pump dealers were adulterating fuel and cheating customers.
He reported it. He sealed the pumps.
On November 19 2005 a petrol pump owner shot him dead outside his office.
He was 27 years old.
The killers were convicted. Sentenced to life imprisonment.
His parents did not get compensation for 15 years.
His college created the Manjunath Shanmugam Trust in his name to fight corruption.
Some men die because they refused to look the other way.
India forgets them too quickly.
This is NOT funny. This is criminal.
A kid sitting in the backseat of this car (DL2CBF0212) was throwing water balloons at bike riders on a flyover. One rider was seconds away from a fatal fall… this could have been a death, not a “prank”.
Even more shocking, the woman in the co-passenger seat is seen laughing.
This is reckless endangerment. Strict action must be taken before someone actually loses their life.

@dtptraffic@DelhiPolice, will you act only after a tragedy happens?
Identify them. Take action.
Imagine being so shameless that when someone asks you not to litter, you respond by throwing more garbage on the road.
This mindset is the real reason our streets stay dirty.
Civic sense isn’t difficult some people just refuse to have it. Let famous car driver and passengers .
This is the New India they want: Kalawa not allowed in exam halls. Burqa allowed.
Amazing logic—Kalawa can help you cheat, but a burqa clearly has built-in anti-cheating technology.
A red thread is suspicious, but a full covering is apparently the gold standard of exam transparency.
Shame on you @EduMinOfIndia : Kalawa become a cheating device, while a burqa is treated like X-ray glass
Who even gives motorcycles to such irresponsible people? 🤡
While the entire country is already struggling with severe air pollution and dust, these two are carelessly spreading fine powder-like soil all over the road. This reckless behavior shows zero civic sense and complete disregard for public health. Actions like these make life harder for everyone and highlight how ignorance and irresponsibility continue to worsen our already polluted environment.
Any Indian vowing to avenge Khamenei's killing should be put on a plane to Tehran and made to enlist in the Iranian army. The Republic of Iran requires your services far more than the Republic of India. Go.
I bought a car and registered it at the RTO office; this is recorded in the government's records.
I obtained a driving license, and it is also recorded in the government's records.
When I obtained a POLLUTION UNDER CONTROL CERTIFICATE, it was also recorded in the government's records.
When I renewed my car's insurance is also recorded in the government's records.
With the tax money I pay, every government office has a mountain of computers, and it's being trumpeted that the whole of India has gone digital.
So, government, when all the information is recorded in your records, then you can simply enter my vehicle number into the computer and find out from the comfort of your office whether my license has expired, whether my insurance is due, when did I get my pollution level checked, etc.
On the road, the only thing that should be checked is whether I am following traffic rules. There would be no need to harass citizens at every intersection for paperwork if government officials were efficient in their work... This is the root of all the problems.
I was in same coach. This person is lying, he was touching a fellow passenger who is minor girl inappropriately.
Which was noticed by other passengers and they beaten him up. Informed police too. Once police came he started religion card. Me being a Muslim i beat him twice with chappal
So it is not related to Muslim
Yogi government was building a brand-new road in a village to bring real development to the people.
But an SP leader deliberately drove over the fresh construction, ruining it completely while locals shouted in protest.
The number plate is crystal clear UP78SA0202.
Let's see if the system actually takes strict action this time or if it's dismissed as "minor damage" with a quick bail.
This video caught my attention a lot ! In Kozhikode, Kerala, an elderly woman confronted a scooty rider using the footpath.She blocked his way, refusing to let him pass.Rider tried to push ahead.She took out her phone, photographed the number plate.Eventually, she forced him to return to the road.
Now, this is the social responsibility each one of us has to demonstrate and show if the attitude to #traffic rules has to change a little atleast. Most of us speak a lot on social media etc but when it comes to such social action, we tend to just ignore and go away!
Can we do a little more, like this brave old lady , and not leave the entire thing to the #police . Your pressure itself will force the others to fall in line.Let’s follow traffic rules and make others follow it 🙏🏻
🚨SHOCKING: Congress govt shut down 676 govt schools in Karnataka but there's pin-drop silence among the activists.
Did you see any outrage or protest? Of course not - it's not a BJP ruled state.
One thing the Indian govt seriously needs to make compulsory is dashcams in every car. Our roads are filled with people who have absolutely no concern for safety, not even their own. The scary part is they can destroy someone else’s life in a second and simply walk away.
