Odisha is no stranger to India’s tourism circuit.
From the timeless Konark & Jagannath Temples, to the sands of Puri Beach and the vastness of Chilika Lake.
But it seems that if you venture deeper into the state you discover landscapes that are every bit as spectacular.
Duduma Falls in Koraput district where the Machkund River plunges dramatically off a rocky cliff is one such marvel.
It’s a reminder that India’s beauty is inexhaustible. Just when you think you’ve seen it all… another wonder appears.

@ArshadRizwan All the slides of @Tejasvi_Surya make lot of sense. If you want to refute, compete with data points. Rhetoric doesn’t work here. India’s education level is very high. We can understand everything very well.
In today’s meeting with DCM Shri @DKShivakumar, I presented an Alternative Sustainable Mobility Action Plan, which is a holistic and comprehensive roadmap for decongesting Bengaluru. Sharing key points from the presentation here.

@DKShivakumar If private school buses can go very interior till the gate of any apartment, similar buses can be introduced in all the places.
Sir: we are not looking for comfort of our car, rather we are looking for timing.
@DKShivakumar One 29 seater bus can reduce 15+ cars.
Why I am using car or bike for commute- because I don’t have the last mile connectivity. The nearest bus stop is 3 km away. Also there is no footpaths and safe cycle track in my way.
I am not alone in twitch this problem.
@DKShivakumar Sir, few days back a school bus from Deena Academy hit a 2 wheeler person who died on spot. This happened in front of the school. The road towards the school is super bad conditions. It is one of the reason why there are accidents near the school. Hope you really care for kids…
I’ve departed to Australia today for a 7-day learning and partnership tour under the ‘Special Visitors Program’. I’ll be meeting university leaders, top CEOs, and skills ministers to unlock opportunities for Andhra Pradesh’s youth. I’m also catching up with the Australian Seafood Association to help our exporters find new markets amid US tariffs, and spending time with our energetic Telugu community. It’s always a source of incredible strength and ideas.
It’s a Diwali on the move again this year with the @FollowCII roadshow - and if a few Aussie companies choose #AndhraPradesh, that will be the best festive gift for our people. #AndhraRising

Apartments residents appeal for ‘ROADS’ as the Varthur-Gunjur Road, with potholes and craters coupled with crawling traffic, makes commute a nightmare. Most of the residents are techies who fix glitches globally.

Bengaluru’s roads are no longer just an inconvenience they are a full-blown danger to life. The crater-filled, slushy Panathur–Balagere stretch is a perfect example of the government’s negligence. This morning, a school bus carrying around 20 children nearly toppled over. The terrified kids had to be rescued through the back door.
What makes it worse? Just a few months ago, the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister personally visited and “inspected” this very road. Photo-ops were held, promises were made and yet nothing was fixed. Taxpayers continue to fund a system that delivers press conferences instead of safe infrastructure.
How many close calls like this do we need before someone is held accountable? How many times will parents have to pray their children reach school alive? When crores are collected through taxes and cesses, but basic road safety is ignored, it’s not just bad governance it’s betrayal. Bengaluru’s citizens are entitled to more than excuses. They deserve safe, motorable roads and a government that treats public safety as a duty, not an afterthought.
