26-year-old women lost her life to pothole in Bengaluru.
I read over 10 news reports but found no names of responsible contractor, maintenance firm or ministers.
This is why we need a website that shows all details.
Culprits live lavishly in secret, while people die on roads.
Bad News - And a Bigger Fight Ahead
The Delhi High Court has paused the FSSAI ban on fake ORS drinks.
Now, the company can sell 180 crore worth of stock - nearly 4 crore packs of the same sugary drink that has 10x more sugar than WHO-approved ORS.
That proves ROl matters more than human lives.
These drinks can be dangerous for children, especially during dehydration.
Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh fought for 8 years to get this ban - we can't let that fight go to waste.
Let's raise our voice.
Because if we stay quiet now, they'll keep winning

Dear Indians, your life has ZERO value.
FSSAI banned ORSL because it contains high sugar and does not comply with the WHO formula, as it is dangerous for health.
Then the ORSL company said, “Please, sir, we have ₹180 crore worth of stock. Please let us sell it.”
The court said, Okay, sell it.
So, this ₹180 crore stock of a big billionaire company has more value than the health of 140 crore Indians.
Dr. @dr_sivaranjani painstakingly fought for 8 years to convince the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to heed the harms of fake ORS drinks targeting children, flooding the market from greedy corporate companies.
She won. FSSAI ordered the ban on the use of “ORS” in product names except for WHO-approved formulations - which meant that these companies fake mislabelled products could not be sold.
But then, she lost.
In a new twist of events, the Delhi High Court and FSSAI has now ordered that fake ORS products, especially the worst and the most stocked one - ORSL Drink by JNTL Consumer Health (the name for the Indian consumer health subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, which is now known as Kenvue) can continue to be sold temporarily under the High Court’s interim protection.
The Court and FSSAI has essentially allowed the sale of fake mislabelled products worth 180 crore Indian Rupees to protect the interest of the greedy corporations without any concern for the children's health.
As a citizen of this country, you can help the good doctor and her great deed by BOYCOTTING THESE SUBSTANDARD PRODUCTS - LET THESE PRODUCTS ROT ON THE SHELVES. The public is the most powerful entity of a Nation. Let us be one and take care of ourselves and our children.
Do not buy these SUGARY products with zero health benefits and do not follow WHO Standards- and spread the word please! Share maximum!
ORSL by JTNL (Johnson and Johnson, Kenvue)
REBALANCE VIT ORS (ReddyLabs)
GLUCON - D ORS (Zydus)
The Courts allowed it. FSSAI consented to it.
But as the public of this country who value our childrens health, let us not. Make sure these greedy corporations suffer for their deceptions.
Sir, @narendramodi and @jpnaddaoffice@fssai@mohfw, it's a national shame that FSSAI has consented to the request by JNTL(the Indian subsidiary of Kenvue which is a spin off of Johnson and Johnson) for a stay order to dispose of it's stock of high sugar ORSL!
Sir, not only now, in future also, except WHO recommended formula ORS, no sachet or tetrapack should be allowed in the pharmacies(including online), hospitals, and schools, as far as rehydrating medicines are concerned. ORS should never be allowed to be used on the labels except for WHO Recommended Formula ORS even if these liquids are being sold in the supermarkets and quick commerce platforms only! Trusting that you will ensure the October 15th order is implemented with urgency!
At least now the Indian govt should bring policy changes to boost manufacturing in India.
Give a 10% to 30% tax exemption on Indian products.
It's time we ditch the dollar and move on with better ways of transactions like crypto or something else..
@British_Airways BA277 to Hyd. Flight took off without baggage.!! The whole flight missed baggage.!! Seriously is the service we get after paying thousands of pounds for each ticket.?!! It's embarrassing, didn't the flight feel lighter than normal even for the pilot.!!
@DHLParcelUK Such a bad service you guys provide. I've been waiting for a parcel which was 'out for delivery' for the past ten days. When you cannot deliver at least respond to the queries. I haven't seen a worse service than this and it isn't the first time.!
@DHLParcelUK My parcel says "Out for delivery" since two days and estimated delivery date is a day before yesterday, I have been waiting for it since three days. I have been waiting for it all day over the false delivery msgs, and this isn't the first time.!!
@rach_hopkins My point is on rail connectivity. If possible, please improve connectivity to other important cities like Cambridge and Birmingham. Most trains to these cities originate only through London and do not touch Luton.
Applied visa inside UK as I have changed my employer. It's been 8 weeks, no response. I have resigned my prev employer, but cannot join the new job as decision is still not made. My savings are running out. Why should we suffer for delays you made.?! @ukhomeoffice#UKVISADELAY
