Mind-boggling: 200 sorties to fly question papers.
If HADR commitments weren’t already stretching limited military aviation resources, we are now using them for routine civil tasks.
I’ve said this before: India needs a dedicated NDRF air wing for disaster relief and civil support missions.
The cost is not just flying hours or maintenance. The long-term effect on the military’s professional identity, institutional psyche and operational focus is underappreciated.
Many believe that decades of counter-insurgency operations affected the Army’s preparedness for conventional warfare. Imagine the aviation equivalent of that.
@_Vandiyadevan7 Sooner rather than later people will realise it is all a sham. Being Anti-establishment is the only way towards demanding accountability.
A ban on Telegram can point toward only two uncomfortable possibilities:
• Either the reports of NEET paper leaks circulating on Telegram were true.
OR
• The system failed so badly at preventing exam leaks that banning a platform became easier than fixing the breach itself.
In both cases, the real question remains the same:
Why are millions of students being forced to pay the price for institutional failure?
I find the banning of Telegram and the involvement of the Indian Air Force a bit extreme for conducting NEET
All of this hassle could have been avoided if the National Testing Agency had built/ invested in infrastructure to conduct the NEET as a Computer-based Test (CBT).
just because a COMMUNICATION MEDIUM has elements of misinformation, we have decided to shut it down.

doesn't whatsapp has elements of misinformation? doesn't the indian press? what's the reasoning behind shutting down entire telegram?
@agrawalmanindra twitter par bhi misinformation fail rahi hai, let's shut down twitter.
infact let's shut down every medium of dissent because dissent is misinformation afterall?
let's ban people talking to each other because misinformation. fake news. mute society.
Telegram will be blocked in India till June 22 for NEET exam. This is a great move because it was Telegram which was responsible for paper setting and leaks. If still paper leaks, next option is to block Internet in India.
Losing a test airframe is very demoralising no matter who you are. This is years of hard work coming to an abrupt end and the loss of qualified and irreplaceable professionals.
ANI coverage of PM Modi's foreign trips..
Step 1 PM says bye bye to everyone in India while boarding a plane. No sounds. Cinematic music and shots.
Step 2 Watches Indian dance music programme of women abroad. Make sure there are white people performing too. Look serious and interested
Step 3 Ask NRIs to say how much they love Modiji and how fortunate they are to see their bhagwaan from motherland who has done so much development in India.
Step 4 Make sure no one hears him speak. EVER.Never show the press asking him questions. Mute videos. Edit. Edit. Edit.
The End.
