Vehicle buyers pay huge upfront taxes, fees, and cesses. In return, they deserve the basic right to buy the exact fuel their vehicle engines were designed to run on.
If the govt wanted to "experiment" with E20 fuel, they should have done it responsibly by either buying a sample fleet of second-hand cars to test in a controlled settings or invite willing citizens to opt-in using subsidized fuel.
Forcing a mandatory policy onto everyone first and checking if it damages their engines later is outrageous. Treating the entire public as involuntary test subjects is a massive overreach.
@ktr_karthik@gemsofbabus_ Maybe your braincells are below 650. You don’t have any idea how poor students sustain themselves at the time of preparations. It is way easy to comment about a dead person…have some shame on you.
If @narendramodi is urging Indians to work from home to conserve fuel then his government should pass an order directing companies to allow work from home for a year. What does he mean by urging people to work from home? Does he think this decision is at the people’s discretion?
Air pollution is NOT a Delhi issue
Kejriwal couldn’t solve it, neither can Rekha Gupta because area wise, Delhi is less than 2% of North India.
- Stubble burning is happening in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh
- Coal power plants are operating, violating international standards in all these states
- Industries in all these states, all around Delhi are causing air pollution because Central Govt failed to enforce rules.
- Construction sites are violating norms everywhere.
- Vehicular pollution is coming from cars and old trucks which don’t follow the latest standards.
The only solution is to implement solutions at a central level. The prime minister and the environment minister need to meet with all CMs of these states and take action on all these points.
But what are they doing? Nothing.
They are absolutely silent.
The anger of the people should be directed at Narendra Modi, he is the biggest culprit here.
Indian bosses are the worst in the world.
Indian corporates and leaders are some of the worst when it comes to fair treatment of employees.
In 2004, I worked for a Indo German JV in NCR region.
We worked hard and build the company. When we were launching the product in a 5 star hotel in Mumbai, the entire team comprising of Germans and Indian had to travel there.
The Indian bosses responsible, booked me and my colleagues (juniors) in a cheaper hotel away from the 5 star hotel while they booked the Germans and other seniors in the 5 star hotel.
When my German boss learnt about it, he got really upset. He told the admin head, you either downgrade us or upgrade everyone else.
They upgraded everyone else. But they were not happy.
When the Germans left India, it was back to the old ways.
There maybe some exceptions but Indian bosses are some of the worst, and most Indian companies give 2 flying fucks about work life balance.
In Europe, I have 45 paid leaves a yeah in addition to all other national leaves. The employee rights and interests are well represented by the employee unions.
People come to office any time between 6.30 am to 9.30 am, work their hours, take their breaks, and leave on time to spend time with their family or do what they like. Of course there are some that work longer hours but nobody questions you if you do your job, respect your hours and leave on time.
So if you are an Indian leader, don’t be the asshole in the post below that considers Saturday and Sunday as paid leaves and thinks that Indians have the best work life balance.
He has probably never traveled in a Virar local from Borivali to Churchgate, or driven after work on the western expressway between Andheri and Mira Road.
@cathshiang@business@RealPNavarro@realDonaldTrump Don’t you think they already know this data! Putting tarrifs on Indian IT outsourcing will eventually raise inflation in US and harm US consumers. As a matter of fact India will eventually close its mrkt for major US companies like Amazon, Meta, Google,etc if US pushes too hard!
