The #adivasis of #HasdeoAranya have been agitating - against powerful political and corporate forces - to save their biodiversity-rich forests from the ravages of coal mining. A report based on my recent visit:

PIB issued a grand "clarification" to deny the AG called E20 an experiment. Guess they forgot Supreme Court proceedings are recorded now.

First they keep the actual research on engine wear under wraps, now they try to gaslight us on public court records. While the percentage of adulteration in petrol keeps increasing, the ethanol policy transparency remains at 0%.

In short: The govt lied.

छत्तीसगढ़ के बस्तर संभाग के अंतागढ़ में लौह अयस्क खनन करने वाली कंपनी ने घने जंगल में बिना अनुमति पेड़ों को काट कर सड़क बना कर ढुलाई शुरु कर दी.

वन विभाग ने कार्रवाई की तो अफवाह फैलाया गया कि जिस कंपनी के खिलाफ कार्रवाई हुई है,उसमें देश के एक बड़े नेता के बेटे का निवेश है !

Back in 2024, during the Wayanad bypoll, the then DCM D.K. Shivakumar had promised to consider reopening Bandipur night traffic if Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was elected. Today, Keralam MP M.K. Raghavan has once again approached the now Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar with the same demand.

Bandipur is not a bargaining chip for electoral politics. It is one of Karnataka’s most precious ecological assets, home to fragile wildlife and a critical part of the Nilgiri Biosphere.

I strongly urge CM @DKShivakumar to categorically reject this request and put an end to any attempt to trade Karnataka’s natural heritage for political convenience.

@KartiPC @NTA_Exams You should also shut down all the shopping malls since there might be a theft in one of them. And close the roads because I heard someone was speeding.

मोदी सरकार ने राजस्थान के नाम पर अदानी के पॉवर प्लांटों तक कोयला पहुचाने के लिए हसदेव अरण्य में जिस केंते एक्सटेंशन कोल ब्लॉक की वन स्वीकृति दी है उसके समृद्ध वन क्षेत्र को इस तस्वीर से समझिए।

1762 हेक्टेयर वन क्षेत्र को कोयला खदान में बदलने के लिए 7 लाख से अधिक प्राकृतिक साल जंगल के पेड़ो को काटा जाएगा ।

पहले से संचालित दो खदानों में इसी तरह का जैव विविधता से समृद्ध 10,500 एकड़ समृद्ध जंगल जमीन का विनाश किया जा चुका है ।

अदानी मोदी सरकार की मदद से सिर्फ़ PSU, निजी कंपनियों को ही एनएचआई हथिया रहा है बल्कि इस देश के लोगों की सांसे भी छीन रहा है।

Watched this woman destroy an innocent girls life while reading her WhatsApp Messages on the news. For ratings. Had her call me anti-national on the news for speaking about women’s safety. For ratings. Now she’s ‘concerned’ about women. For ratings. Give me a break. That’s my take.

This unqualified bore says his secondhand opinions are “not up for debate.” Yes they are. At a university all opinions are up for debate. If you cannot defend your opinions rationally, either they are indefensible or you are too stupid to defend them. In either case you have no right to force them on students who have expressed their wish to attend a lecture by doing so.

Cian Agro Industries (Gadkari's son Nikhil):

share price ₹37.45 in January 2025 → ₹638 by June 2025. That is a 2,100% rise in 6 months, the EXACT 6 months that E20 went nationwide and E85 policy was being drafted.

Congress has demanded a Lokpal probe. The government's response? Silence.

Excl: Ground reality vs official records: Census fieldwork is throwing up data that differ from govt records on open defecation free villages, use of cow dung cakes/kerosene/crop residue for cooking in urban areas despite LPG connection, no electricity.

I checked latest RBI data on their site and found this.
1) Gold value reduced from 11.45 trillion rupees to 10.98 trillion rupees (from May 15 to May 22), a drop of 4%. Same in dollar terms also: ~4% drop.
2) If total gold stock is same, this is possible only if prices reduced in that ratio. In that week, prices were nearly steady (15-22 May 2026).
3) So if RBI did sell, it could mean roughly 20-30 T of gold. (variation depending on 22-carat or 24-carat).

सीजेआई सूर्यकांत ने इन पांच माननीयों को सुप्रीम कोर्ट में जज के रूप में एलिवेट किया है। इनमें से एक एडवोकेट भी हैं।

किसी ने पत्रकार हत्या में आदरणीय राम रहीम जी को बरी किया। किसी ने माननीय मोदी जी की डिग्री के निरीक्षण के आदेश को रद्द कर दिया तो कोई अमित शाह जी के खिलाफ याचिका में राजनीतिक साजिश होने का संदेह रखता था। एक माननीय ने तो यह भी आदेश दिया कि पत्नी का शारीरिक संबंध से मना करना क्रूरता है।

मुझे आशा है यह सभी आदरणीय देश में न्याय रथ को आगे ले जायेंगे और आम जनता इसी तरह खुशहाल रहेगी। आप सभी को इस तुच्छ नागरिक की बधाई।

@ni5arga @cbseindia29 good morning CBSE, you said you used scanners to scan these copies,

now since the copies are out to the public view, do you mind explaining

which copies when scanned through a scanner, have a drop shadow? and these 3 folds?

did you really use scanners?
