@DCPTrEastBCP @blrcitytraffic
In and around Kaggadasapura-
Kindly help in managing traffic during peak school and office hours until GaneshChaturthi. Due to ongoing digging of road and pandals, the residents are suffering badly.

The ‘law of unintended consequences’ seems to be operating stealthily in the prevailing tariff war unleashed by the U.S.

Two examples:

The EU may appear to have accepted the evolving global tariff regime, responding with its own strategic adjustments. Yet the friction has nudged Europe to rethink its security dependence, leading to higher defence spending in France and Germany. In the process, Germany has moderated its fiscal orthodoxy, which may well catalyse a resurgence in Europe’s major economies. The world could gain a new engine for growth.

In Canada, long hampered by notorious internal trade barriers between its provinces, steps are now being taken to dismantle them, bringing the country closer to a common market and enhancing economic resilience.

Both these ‘unintended consequences’ could become long-term positives for global growth.

Shouldn’t India too seize this moment to shape a virtuous consequence for itself? Just as the 1991 forex reserves crisis triggered liberalisation, can today’s global ‘Manthan’ over tariffs yield some ‘Amrit’ for us?

Two strong steps we can take today are:

1. Radically Improve Ease of Doing Business
—India must go beyond incremental reform and create a genuinely effective single-window clearance system for all investment proposals.
—While states control many investment regulations, we can begin with a coalition of willing states aligning with a national single-window platform.
—If we demonstrate speed, simplicity, and predictability, we can make India an irresistible destination for global capital in a world seeking trusted partners.

2. Unleash the Power of Tourism as a Forex Engine
—Tourism is one of the most underexploited sources of foreign exchange and employment.
—We need to dramatically accelerate visa processing, improve tourist facilitation, and build dedicated tourism corridors around existing hotspots, offering assured security, sanitation, and hygiene.
—These corridors can serve as models of excellence, encouraging other regions to emulate and raise national standards.

And a broader action agenda to build on these pillars:
Liquidity & Support for MSMEs; Infrastructure Investment acceleration; A Manufacturing Push, via enhancement and expansion of the scope of PLI schemes; Rationalise import duties so that duty on manufacturing inputs are lowered and assist in improving our competitiveness.

Let the unintended consequences we create be the most intentional and transformative ones of all.

We cannot fault others for putting their nations first. But we should be moved to make our own nation greater than ever.

@HDFCBank_Cares So every HDFC employee can get my number? With no audit of who all are getting my personal number?

[Karthick Elangovan @karthicksme]

Hey @HDFC_Bank not sure what insane target you guys set in regards to FD. I'm getting 1 call per day from multiple hdfc staff asking me to use his/her emp ID when booking FD. It's getting annoying

[Karthick Elangovan @karthicksme]

@HDFCBank_Cares DMed you my number. Caller details should be with you.. you should be having audit details of your staff extracting my number..

The whole system revolves around the idea that the majority can be made to believe 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, so long as it is repeated loudly and often.

And it works.

@RailwaySeva @IRCTCofficial @RailwaySeva @IRCTCofficial just fyi the reason given was 'myself and my Sister-in-law are not blood relatives'. Primary passenger is my father and our family is travelling. Ticket is not being sold! The person in charge should understand the rule when it's at his discretion.

[Karthick Elangovan @karthicksme]

Hey @IRCTCofficial is the point 2(b) not applicable, if so why it's in your site? My dad(primary passenger) requested to change the booking to my name instead of my sister-in-law. My father was made to run around MDU jnc & finally told it's not possible as per policy. Horrible!

[Karthick Elangovan @karthicksme]

@RailwaySeva @RailwaySeva @IRCTCofficial your quick response is not of much help. As the case is closed with a statement that this is "the discretion of the railway commercial officer". Who can't take into consideration of a genuine case and can't understand why the very rule is in place.
