@gurshamshir @diljitdosanjh @coachella There are no turbulent times, please stop creating this narrative for some likes on Twitter. Punjab has issues such as drug abuse and unemployment, these are not new issues and have been hurting Punjab from last 20 years! Good morning to you.

@aviationbrk Terribly managed aviation operations. Poor training, weak supervision, and lack of basic safety checks seem to be a recurring issue across Indian airports. Incidents like these are avoidable, until accountability improves, so will the losses.

[Guneet Gudh @gudh]

Technical faults on the ground are normal; aircraft are machines, and occasional glitches happen.

But with Air India, this is no longer about an isolated fault. Over the past six months, repeated technical snags, operational blunders, and even wrong aircraft substitutions have become far too common for an airline of this scale.

What makes this worse is that ALL returned to service just last week, and within days has already suffered its first technical issue. That is not routine, that is alarming.

At this point, Air India’s poor standards are showing across the board: cabin upkeep, cleanliness, lavatories, and now even the reliability of relatively new aircraft like the A350s.

I was on @airindia Flight 102, which made an emergency landing in Shannon. Full credit to the Air India team: despite having no ground staff/ops presence in Ireland for the last few years, they managed arrangements for all 240 passengers well.

But Air India must urgently fix aircraft servicing quality. The A350s are very new, and problems like this are a major concern. Customer communication also needs to be far better. If this was an Airbus issue, say so clearly, because Air India should not take all the beating.

That said, Air India still has a lot to improve. Ground staff is pretty poor, from check-in to some crew who appear disengaged and slow. Time to seriously up the game.

@AviationAll_ @republic I was on AI 102 that landed in Shannon. It is shocking that @airindia was cleared to fly VT-JRF again, forcing customers to relive the same trauma and face a life-threatening situation. @DGCAIndia must initiate a high-level inquiry into this. @Airbus

Serious questions warrant clarification from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology regarding how such a significant lapse occurred at a global level summit. It is important to understand who chaired or supervised the committee responsible for allocating exhibition stalls, what process was followed to evaluate and vet the proposals submitted for participation, and who approved the final list of participating institutions. Further, on what objective criteria were these universities permitted to showcase their projects at a national forum, particularly where the quality of such projects is so low that they wont stand a chance event at competitive inter college platforms.

@manaman_chhina Punjab is truly an asset to the nation. This video is deeply moving and a powerful reminder that once a soldier, always a soldier. We need retired army men like him to motivate the youth to sign up for the Military services.

@PTI_News Nothing can be more shameful than this, folks responsible should not be spared!

This is the story of almost every other restaurant and club in Goa today. Panchayats have become steeped in corruption, the bribes are too large and tempting to resist, and rules are flouted day in and day out. As a result, the villages of North Goa have lost their character, security, and peace because of these restaurants, clubs, and greedy builder-driven projects.

The strictest possible action must be taken to address this tragedy. A retired Supreme Court and High Court judge should chair the probe, and the report must be submitted and made public within 40 days. Arrest the owners of this restaurant should have been as of yesterday. @TourismGoa @VijaiSardesai @DrPramodPSawant

Many issues, many truths and some lies:

First, this is a flight and passenger safety issue that Indigo is obfuscating as “court mandated FDTL” / operational / blaming its employees etc. The reality is that the @DGCAIndia rightly revised flight duty limited norms (albeit belatedly), which were one of the worst in the world. This conversation started in 2024 and Indigo’s contribution was to scuttle it rather than investing in making our skies and us safer.

Second, Indigo took advantage (like every other carrier) of overworking its cockpit, cabin and ground staff; and didn’t want the gravy train to end. The shortage of pilots today has in part been caused by Indigo and it’s unholy nexus with it’s own flying schools, which disincentivised others to join and with these duty hours forced pilots and crew to find greener pastures outside India. I am not for a minute diminishing the higher salaries outside as a reason, but pointing out a compound effect - where Indigo could have been a responsible majority player but instead forced price and the skill base out.

Third, there was enough time. Indigo enjoyed a run based on poor flight duty limit norms and it was time to be responsible to its core constituents ie passengers. It elected not to be. You have got to be a special kind of greedy and insecure that you believe with 60 percent market share, you still need to compromise with flight safety to grow. There were a million things that could have been done from hiring expats, but no; Indigo spoke in one resounding voice which was - to use fatigued pilots and not incur any costs. I am no aviation expert but understand balance sheets and the increased cost would have been a speeding ticket in the larger scheme of things; which shouldn’t have worried them given their market share.

Fourth, what Indigo has shown us all is that it would rather fatigued crew fly us, risk a crash, lose lives than invest in safety. That’s the bottom line and someone has to call it out.

Lastly, it would be a mistake for the @DGCAIndia and @MoCA_GoI to cave in under blackmail. There’s absolutely no logic to Indigo getting its house back by February, the holiday season etc etc being greater than safety. Pilots scamming duty is wrong (go after them); but we must salute those who refuse to fly and endanger our lives because they’ve been denied the most basic of rest.

P.S. Aviation is critical to our economic prowess as a nation. As someone who takes 250 plus flights a year for meetings, hearings and court - our air connectivity (as it stands even today) is a significant competitive advantage. We can’t let it be washed down the drain because of those who have benefitted the most being unwilling to invest in our safety.

@ANI Very valid points.

Big Tech doesn't do anything on public health in the US that it does in India. @d_s_thakur and Prashant Reddy tell you what this failure means.

We lost an adventurer. We lost an artist.
A mother lost her son, a wife lost her partner, and children lost their father. This pain is beyond words. No amount of money or sympathy can replace what’s gone.
Shame on the system we live in, where we still can’t provide safe roads to our citizens, yet speak of world-class infrastructure for tourism. Rajvir was an inspiration to motorcyclists across the country, especially in Punjab. This is a humble request to all motorists and enthusiasts in Punjab: let’s start a movement to demand safer roads and hold politicians and bureaucrats accountable. @AmmyVirk @ParmishVerma @jassiegill @diljitdosanjh @BawaRanjit @GippyGrewal

[Guneet Gudh @gudh]

With you on this. Let’s tag as many biker groups as we can and push hard, a movement for a cause that affects us all. No one wants to see another tragedy.
If the roads are safe, the rides are great.
