Right now, people are more focused on what one political leader has said about another, and even the media gives more space to these debates than to real issues. Air pollution is increasing, rivers and springs are drying up, this is happening almost every winter now, and we are clearly moving toward a water crisis. Are we waiting for Delhi-like air conditions to wake up?
Instead of chasing political remarks, people should question their MLAs, ministers, and leaders about air, water, and the environment. When citizens start asking questions and voting on these issues, community development funds will be directed toward environmental work, and additional government funds will also be allocated. Priorities will change and these issues will finally become a core part of the political agenda.
Real change will not come from debates between leaders, but from public pressure on issues that decide our collective future.
Dear Jio,
Two Suggestions:
- Most Indians have Wifi access. Senior Citizens use Wifi mostly. Please provide an affordable 1 GB per day plan with options to choose (28 days onwards). Also a yearly plan.
- Provide affordable Voice only plans for less than ₹100 every month. Anything above this is forcing people to take data, even if they don't need it.
There are many who use only voice and also less than 1 GB per day. Need inclusive plans. Let users decide.
Urging my audience to repost this (if you also feel this way) until @JioCare ACTUALLY Cares 👍

Chain of blasts in the air in J&K
Multiple blasts are going on in the air as surveillance drones, apparently not loaded with explosives, have been spotted at several places in Jammu and Kashmir, including a cantonment area in Srinagar, and the Indian Air Defence guns are bringing them down. No need to panic. Officials say this is not a violation of the ceasefire. "Whatever noise we all are hearing, they are primarily our AD guns and other weapons trying to engage them", said an officer. He said that not a single blast is from the Pakistani side. Uploading the videos of the blasts, which are all Indian anti-drone gunfire, is unnecessarily spreading fear among the people.
