The Hebbal 2 km short tunnel is unscientific, serves no purpose and a complete waste of ₹1,350 crores.

The Congress Government's unscientific tunnel will cut down 1,128 trees, increase Hebbal Lake flooding risks, disrupts ground water and is designed to further worsen the traffic situation.

It is unacceptable that the Government is gambling with infrastructure decisions. The short tunnel entails huge irreversible ecological costs merely to bypass the junction and dump vehicles at a faster rate back onto the same road 2 kms ahead.

And when this was pointed out to the Government, instead of dropping the short tunnel it cooked up another unscientifically planned elevated corridor to clear up the traffic mess that will be created by the short tunnel.

Hebbal already has the under construction Blue Line, planned Red Line, Orange Line and suburban rail converging here. Together this will make public transport a compelling preferred choice and provide sustainable relief to the traffic congestion.

Instead of expediting the metro & suburban rail, the short-sighted Government has dropped the important Veterinary College Red Line station, which would serve 18,000+ riders a day, to accomodate the unscientific Tunnel and Elevated Road.

Also, IISc confirmed the well established fact that the tunnel road costs 6X more per passenger than Metro. Even the State Finance Department questioned the need, huge costs, risky design, and the new bottlenecks the short tunnel would inevitably create.

Bengaluru needs to focus on expeditiously building an extensive and reliable public transport network solution to effectively and sustainably manage the core traffic issues in the city.

BDA, stop the unscientific short tunnel project. The city has already suffered enough with this nonsense.

Key disadvantages of allowing Starlink in India include:

National security risks: Foreign-controlled network limits India's ability to shut off service in sensitive border areas or ensure availability during crises. Past reports of terminals with militants or smugglers raise misuse concerns.

Data sovereignty issues: Laser links could route traffic outside Indian gateways, complicating monitoring and lawful interception.

High costs: Hardware and monthly fees likely far exceed affordable terrestrial options like Jio or Airtel, limiting rural access.

Market impact: Could disrupt local telecoms and foster over-reliance on a single US provider instead of domestic alternatives.

Dear Elon @elonmusk

You hv certainly stirred up plenty of reaction with ur posts. But this needs a response from me, as did ur “Electronic Voting machines can be hacked” post from some time ago.

As someone who knows a little bit abt Telecom as someone who played a decent-ish role in building Indias wireless sector as an Entrepreneur and then as a policy maker , let me share my thoughts.

It is true that Indias Telecom was a sector beset with opaqueness and corruption for several decades - where cronies ruled under the benevolent love and the politics of ur latest fan (name not withheld - @RahulGandhi )

But under PM @narendramodi , 3 principles govern the tech (including Telecom/Internet) sector.

Open, Safe & Trusted and Accountable.
#OSTA

✅ Open - Free from any monopoly-duopoly. Free and fair competition.

✅ #SafeAndTrusted - Infra, Network , Platforms must be safe and trusted.

✅ Accountable - Every participant should be legally accountable for safety and trust.

I was a MP first and then part of PM @narendramodi jis team when this framework was developed. I have more than a little experience of fighting years of political and bureaucratic opaqueness and corruption, which shaped these principles.
so todays India is not that old crony driven India.

I am not in govt anymore and certainly dont speak for it. But it seems to me that Govt has made it clear: all three satcom licensees are at broadly the same stage of ensuring security clearance by verifying its safety and trust first, then spectrum.

Satellite IP services have many security implications. More so in a country like India which has faced years of Terror and insurgency supported by inmical state actors in our neighbourhood. From 26/11 terror attacks to recent ones in Pahalgam, satcom has been preferred comm for Terrorists. Satellite VOIP and encryption creates more challenges security wise. Not insurmountable but new capabilities and capacity hv to be built to ensure Safety and Trust.

I hv used @Starlink and I think its awesome technology - and represents a new era in mobility innovation. No doubt.

But a country has to plan for itself and its interests before every new choice. Thats what India is doing. Patience is unavoidable and in this case is a necessity.

[The Sacred Scroll @SacredScroll]

Gloves are off now, Elon.

Still no licence? Wrong. Starlink got its Unified Licence with GMPCS authorisation from the DoT in June 2025. You know that. Your own VP posted about it.

Ambani is the real boss?

Ambani's Jio lobbied for a spectrum auction. India gave you administrative allocation, the exact thing you asked for. Then you signed distribution deals with Jio and Airtel. If Ambani is blocking you, why is he your reseller?

Five years of complying?

In 2021 you took pre-order money from Indians with no licence at all. The DoT had to order you to stop and refund people. That was your first move in India.

India's home ministry reportedly froze clearances after Starlink terminals showed up in Iran, where you aren't even licensed. Before that, our army pulled one out of a militant cache in Manipur. Your own company says talks are active and productive. So which version is true: the one your VP tells Delhi, or the one you tell 200 million followers?

The spectrum rules were cleared last month and are headed to Cabinet. You're weeks from the finish line, and you're throwing a tantrum in public to rush a sovereign country's security review.

India isn't a market you can bully on X. Wait your turn.

🚨 SHOCKING! BJP govt rejects Dara Singh’s release after 26 years in jail 🤯

He fought against Cow slaughter in 1990s. Battled the onset of Missionaries in Odisha. Today, NOBODY STANDS WITH HIM!

> Dara Singh has spent over 26 years behind bars for the 1999 killing of Graham Staines and his two sons.

He sought PREMATURE release. Odisha Sentence Review Board has now REJECTED it at this stage.

> Supreme Court had specifically told the state to take a decision, after repeatedly questioning the delay.

Dara begged that he could return to society through “service-oriented actions.”

But the state cited the GRAVITY of the CRIME & concerns over social ramifications.

The original crime was horrific. But it's been 25 years and our holy Supreme Court itself says EVERY SINNER HAS A FUTURE!!!!

To hell with Make in India. @cbic_india

307 kg single shipment of high-value leather goods, manufactured by us for one of the largest financial institutions in the world, was held at Kolkata customs for physical inspection.

They physically opened 5 of the 17 cartons to "inspect".

And this is not a one-time instance. I am certain this continues to happen with many exporters. Chemicals, pharma, textiles, etc. Please, please comment if you've been/going through this tunnel as well.

Ours, after all, are simple leather goods. Can Indian customs assure that none of these goods was retained during this "inspection"?

I bring USD to India. Through back-to-back e-commerce orders and customised high-value shipments. We aspire to compete with Montblanc and Cartier. How do we do that when our consignments are held up for days at Indian customs during exports (even barring this particular 307 kg shipment)?

I am happy to share the SB no. with the relevant authorities.

He was 26 years old. Indian-American.

An AI researcher at OpenAI for 4 years.
He helped build GPT-4. One of the most powerful AI systems in the world.

In October 2024 he quit OpenAI and gave an interview to the New York Times.

He said OpenAI was training its AI on copyrighted content without permission.
He said it was illegal.

He was named as a key witness in the NYT lawsuit against OpenAI.

He wrote in his journal: “I am a credible threat because of New York Times.”

One month after the interview he was found dead in his San Francisco apartment.

The official ruling: suicide.

His parents say: murder.

His pen drive was missing. His computer was left open. CCTV footage for only 2 of 7 days was provided. GHB was found in his system. His cheekbone was broken. A second bullet was allegedly found lodged in his skull by independent radiologists.

Both videos are from Baba Baidyanath Dhaam, Deoghar. The first shows how common devotees are treated, and the second shows how VIPs are treated.

This is same in most of the famous temples. This difference must end. You can’t expect unity and brotherhood in a religion if the rich and powerful receive pampered treatment at temples while ordinary devotees are treated like an inconvenience.

I understand that the sheer number of devotees makes it difficult to give everyone ample time, but things can still be managed with dignity, through better crowd management, token or time-slot systems, clearly marked queues, and strict enforcement of the same rules for everyone. Whatever is decided for the common people, the same rules should apply to the rich and powerful as well.

[bread @iambigbread]

Did not want to get involved in all this but such a biased story posted by @BlrCityPolice @mahadevapuratrf was the last straw. Honestly, I'm scared to write this. The police have our names and addresses. If any mishap happens to us, then please blame the police.

Here's the first person account of the whole incident, and all the red flags that I was able to identify:

We stopped at Belathur traffic signal on 14th Dec ~9:30pm. A speeding Mahindra Bolero truck rammed us from behind, the impact yeeted us to the middle of the signal and a crowd gathered immediately.

Upon dialing 100, the police reached our spot within ~15min, and took an account of the whole accident. The truck driver appeared drunk and lousy, and we overheard the police threatening the driver with a 'drink-and-drive' and a 'hit-and-run' case.
We obviously didn't know what further steps to take and seeked guidance from the police, who told us (and the truck driver) to go to Mahadevapura Traffic Police Station for further action. We later found out that Belathur signal clearly comes under Whitefield Police Jurisdiction (red flag #1) and we shouldn't have been transferred to Mahadevapura directly in the first place.

We drove in the severely battered car from Belathur signal to Mahadevapura traffic station. The truck driver who'd agreed to come never showed up. Upon talking to the police official present there (at around 11pm), we asked to file a complaint and he just made an entry in the 'kaccha book' (that's what they call it), and told us to come the next day by which time they'd have caught hold of the driver and that we'd get a resolution (red flag #2).

We leave our offices early the next day (15th Dec) to reach the station around 5pm, in the same battered car - hoping to have it as proof of the accident, only to find that no progress had been made. The police officer (called S further hereon) heard our account, then proceeded to call the driver (I'd taken the driver's number) - who didn't respond. S then dug up the phone number registered with the truck's number plate and asked the 'owner' (more on the 'owner' part later) to come to the station next day at 1pm. We asked whether we'd have to be there and he told that both the parties would need to be present in order to have a settlement. Upon asking to take a look at the car, S told that that won't be required and even told that it wasn't necessary to bring the car the next day to the station (red flag #3).

We handed over the car at a nearby Hyundai service centre to get an estimated cost, to understand the extent of damage, hoping to have some leverage(lol!) in the communication the next day. Boy, were we wrong.

We reach the station the next day - 16th Dec, had to take the day off off work, at 3pm - only to find out that the truck 'owner' hadn't reached yet. We wait for over an hour, get a call at 4:30pm that the person has arrived and go back to into the station.

The service centre gave an estimated repair cost of around 1.5L at least (jfyi, the car had no other damage previously). We go in, demanding the full amount, hoping to agree midway. The truck 'owner' told he could do 3000 (imagine our surprise at that amount).

S sent us out, there's a small veranda type area right outside the office, to discuss a figure amongst ourselves. Upon talking to the guy, we found out that he was just a clerk in the company, the truck business owner was in Hyderabad (apparently), and that the truck was just registered in his name (that's just how these yellow plate businesses operate).

We tried to negotiate for over an hour, tried to talked to someone higher up in his company, but they just seemed to ignore us (and blocked our number after the second call).

We go back inside, try to explain the situation to S, but he feigns ignorance and shows that he called the truck 'owner' registered on the number plate. We ask what the process of FIR was and we'd want to go ahead with that - and we hear the most elaborate process since the universe came into existence.

Apparently (and idk if this is true atp but this is what we were told), to proceed with an FIR, we'd have to submit our car at the station, we'd get a court hearing after 90 days, after which the Bolero owner would be fined 3500 (only!), post which we'd still have to claim money back from our insurance, and S strongly recommended us to talk to our legal advisor (of course every 23y/o has one).

He sent us back outside to contemplate on this. After seeing how these yellow plate businesses operate (the actual people accountable spend zero energy), we figured out that the time+energy we'd spend on this was totally not worth it, and we decided to forfeit the money.

Upon going back in the office, I tell S that 3000 is meaningless anyways, and that we're just leaving, S totally flips out (red flag #4). He starts ranting that you guys should punish the other person, they're at fault and even if the money was just a rupee, we shouldn't let it go. He volunteered to go and convince the other guy to settle at a higher amount, and went to meet him in the veranda area, wherein we see them laughing and shaking hands.

After 5 minutes, they come to us and S tells that the guy's agreed upon 7000, but that S has told him to pay 8000 since the 'insurance papers' will take a 1000, and S assured us that the police 'insurance papers' would be more than enough for the insurance claim (at least 90% of the amount would be covered by the insurance). Proceeding to assure that the case isn't closed, and that we could follow-up with the police if something went awry in our insurance claim process.

Upon asking for S's UPI to transfer across the 1000 rupees, he told us to give the amount in cash (red flag #5). We gave the 1000 rupees, all these transactions happen in the veranda area which is out of CCTV coverage - there were a couple of more such groups fighting and this seemed like an everyday routine for the police.

I asked S to start processing the insurance papers, and to my astonishment, he downloads BTP ASTraM on my phone and files a self-service complaint for the same, and tells that this was the insurance paper. I wonder where the 1000 rupees went. It was then that I realized how professionally we were gaslit, and we're expected to believe in the system..?

Earlier today, our insurance claim (Reliance General (Motor) Insurance) was rejected and upon talking to the supervisor, it was due to "Misrepresentation of facts". At every point, all the details that we gave were thoroughly verified (including the google timeline history showing our whereabouts on the day of the accident). We were told that the only way forward would be through a legal process.

We went back to the station today (after this tweet blasted), but we received so much pushback to file the FIR (and @BlrCityPolice we have proof this time of the amount of pushback) - it wasn't until we took the name of a famous MP who'd responded to this X post, and threatened to escalate, that we received some attention. Is this how an FIR is filed?

[Snehil Saluja @mrsnhl]

Understanding the subject? I have been on calls with my sister throughout everything that was happening.

I can assure you that I am very careful about what I am writing and that everything that has been written by me is true to the best of my knowledge.

At every point she was told not to file an FIR by the police station.

Also, what Bolero party? The truck owner or driver did not even come to the police station. If they did, I want you to prove that upfront.

She was called to the police station multiple times. She left her office and kept waiting for hours. The drunk driver or the truck owner did not show up.

We had submitted an estimate made from Hyundai, on how much the truck owner is liable for repairs.

Of course once it got tiring and had to spent so much time again and again, we had no option but to ask her to back off.

There was an ₹8000 payment made as an advance of that estimate by someone who came to represent the owner and let me be clear, it was forced on by your team saying that third party insurance won't cover this, and first party insurance should cover this. If it doesn't, you will get the owner to pay up. Of course I knew you'll refute.

Also, the police officer also took ₹1000 in cash from the above ₹8000 as a charge to get something registered to the BTP portal. His name most probably is Sharan as far as my sister remembers. To identify him, he has a big curvy moustache, like the ones you see in movies that are usually stroked.

We even then said that we want the driver to be arrested more than the money. You never arrested the drunk driver.

Instead, the police officers told her to not file an FIR on the first date as soon as they came to the station. Your team said to come in the morning allowing time for that driver to run away and not show up.

Your officers have been discouraging about the FIR at every point and claimed about the truck mafia being dangerous people to be involved with. Your officers told that RTO won't return the car for 90 days if she thinks about filing an FIR.

Even today, when she was writing the complaint, your police officers asked to remove certain parts from the complaints.

Your team agreed to file an FIR only after this post went viral.

I am giving up on this. Me and my family's mental peace is more important. Feel free to take all the above up as an allegation in case you want to investigate. Happy to attend your call and give more details.

Wanted to attempt on this a last time, but clearly I can see that you at the police station are siding against us only.

Also, thanks a lot for making these two young individuals know how things work at a very young age. All this happened only because my sister and her friend were naive enough to beleive in the system.

[Snehil Saluja @mrsnhl]

A 1 crore earning techie's life has no value in Bengaluru.

And if you're not earning that much? Your life has even less.

My sister and her friend were driving home in my car. They stopped at a red light - the logical thing anyone does. A drunk driver in a mini-truck didn't feel the need to stop. He slammed into them instead.

I know he was drunk. She knows it. The highway police knows it. The truck owner knows it.

No arrest was made.

The truck driver never showed up at the station. The owner never showed up. Nobody cared. My sister and her friend - both injured, both terrified - kept going back to the station, back to the accident site, explaining what happened over and over, just trying to get a report filed.

I was in the US. All I could do was talk to them on calls, helpless.

Here's what the police told them:
"If nobody died, an FIR doesn't make sense."
"Just claim first party insurance."
"Third party insurance doesn't pay much anyway."

And then, quietly, one officer pulled them aside and told the truth: "These truck mafia bribe us. Nothing will happen."

Nothing happened.

The truck was KA04 AE6550. The police themselves said if they'd been on a two-wheeler, both would be dead.

We had 100% insurance from Reliance. Claim rejected. Reason? "Misrepresentation of facts." These two, even while injured, kept showing up to represent the facts. Reliance still found a way to deny them.

The law says if someone hits you from behind, the person behind is at fault. It was a red light. How does a truck driver not see that?

Trust me, this isn't about money. I'll manage the repairs and the medical bills. I have savings. And I have a decent credit score; I'll take a personal loan if I have to. That's not the point.

The point is this: my sister is afraid now. Afraid that anything can happen to her at any moment and there's no one - no system, no law, no institution - that will protect her.

But how do I tell her the world is supposed to be fair? How do I tell her to trust the system? How do I explain that the drunk driver walks free, the truck owner was never questioned, and the police pocketed their bribe and closed the file?

I can't say to any official, "What if this was your daughter? Your sister?" Because their daughters travel in cars with security escorts. They will never know what it feels like to be ordinary and unprotected.

So I'm saying it to you, an ordinary reader.

You're on the road. You stop at a red light. A drunk driver in a truck rear-ends your car. Your loved one is inside, terrified.

And then you learn: there is no recourse. None.

The truck owner pays off the cops. The insurance company rejects your claim. The system shrugs.

This is Bengaluru in 2025. This is India in 2025. This is what your life is worth here.

One more thing. The friend in the car? He's one of the smartest people I know. close to top 100 rank in IIT-JEE. AI engineer and one of the biggest data companies. At 23, he is valuable to be paid more annually than the cost of five such trucks, that too, in India. He's patriotic. He pays his taxes. He stays in India even though he constantly gets offers to move to the US.

This is the confidence our system gives to someone who is clearly an asset to this country. All this unfairness - for a drunk truck driver.

URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED.

So MP Ahammed Owned Malabar Gold wants to send me to jail for exposing their Pakistani influencer collaboration, who has mocked our operation Sindoor.

I am willing to go to jail for the pride of our Army.

You can’t silence me just because you have the power of money.

I have not said anything wrong in my tweets.

They are saying that they have hired a Pakistani influencer who has mocked our Indian army and Operation Sindoor, much before.

As an Indian company, it’s your first duty to hire only Indian influencers instead of Pakistani ones.

You failed in it, and your hired influencer has spoken against our Indian Army. I have just highlighted that.

Let me clarify again, I will choose jail instead of bowing down to a company that hires anti-India influencers for their profit.

Let’s see who wins: your money, power, or the support of Indians.
