🚶 BENGALURU'S FOOTPATHS ARE GETTING THEIR SPACE BACK
From July 1–10, the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) is running a 'Safe Footpath Campaign' across 1,000 km of road network — clearing encroachments from footpaths in all five city corporations.
📊 WHY THIS MATTERS
30% of every 1,000 road accident deaths in Bengaluru are pedestrians. The Supreme Court has been clear: walking on a footpath safely is a fundamental right, not a privilege.
🚫 WHAT'S BEING CLEARED
➡Illegal parking on footpaths (vehicles will be towed)
➡Name boards, chairs, tables, and kiosks blocking pedestrian paths
➡Vendors and shops spilling onto walkways
✅ HOW IT'S BEING DONE
➡Notices will be issued before any action — not a sudden crackdown
➡Action will follow the Street Vendors' Protection Act and SC guidelines
➡Municipal officers, police, and clearance teams will coordinate
➡Damaged slabs and kerbs will be repaired alongside clearance
It follows the #1KmChallenge encouraging people to walk short distances instead of driving — Bengaluru is trying to become more walkable, one footpath at a time.
🗣️ WE NEED YOUR EYES ON THE GROUND
Let's make Bengaluru's footpaths walkable again — together.

Sirs @CPBlr@Jointcptraffic we complained 31 Dec 25 and 3 Mar 26 however, there has been no respite from Ola's atrocities. They have taken over footpath, public parking & road!. The cops r soft pedalling the issue. Can firm action be taken?. SC also recognises our way to walk.
Hey UC ,, first of all you'll market your packages and after payment at any given point of time there are no professionals are available... It expires and we don't get refunds also.. is it a scam
@urbancompany_UC
@Bajaj_Finserv Seriously disappointed with youll! 😤 Your Bangalore sales team seems clueless, and the Residency Road center is no help at all. This is absolutely pathetic! Please have someone contact me ASAP, or I'll start tagging your higher-ups. #CustomerService

🚨Not a single post from them🚨
✅Asad’s own father Nawab confessed:
“Beta, Bakrid ke din uski hatya kar dete hain.”
They lured 17yo Surya, surrounded him & stabbed him 12 times.
Police arrested Nawab + others. Asad killed in encounter.
🎭Where is the "secular" outrage?
No comment on Surya
❌Rana Ayyub
❌Mohammed Zubair
❌Saba Naqvi
❌Ravish Kumar
❌Barkha Dutt
❌Rajdeep Sardesai
❌Dhruv Rathee
❌Abhisar Sharma
❌Akash Banerjee (The Deshbhakt)
Their timelines? Full of Eid peace posts, "Islamophobia" rants, and Modi criticism.
Selective silence speaks louder than words.
✅If roles were reversed, their feeds would be flooded.
But a Hindu teenager murdered? Crickets.
🇮🇳Wake up, India. This selective outrage kills more souls. Demand justice for Surya without bias.
Tag them. Share. Let see if they post anything.
Pralhad Joshi Ji solving the issue raised by one BJP leader and promptly replying to his post isn't gonna present your image as a Minister for Indian Citizen. Common citizen have been raising this issue for as long as I can remember, but your reply to @TajinderBagga paaji's post reflects bad mentality.
It depicts that you solve only those problem that are raised by your own.
No offence Bagga Ji, but this is the truth and the minister or someone from their ministry should have shown such activity previously as well.
@TajinderBagga@AkasaAir@agoda Only handle worth tagging was the sleeping beauties at @MoCA_GoI
So many people have already raised voice on this unethical issue & absurd airfares so many times in the past. But this 18 hours working corporate friendly government is actually enjoying fleecing of common people.
Booked an @AkasaAir ticket via @agoda and accidentally selected Navi Mumbai instead of Mumbai.
Tried cancelling via Agoda - they showed a cancellation fee of ₹4,764 and refund of just ₹1,571.
Then I checked directly with Akasa Air.
Akasa Air’s own cancellation page shows:
• Total deduction: ₹299
• Refund amount: ₹6,076
Akasa customer care also confirmed the airline cancellation charge is only ₹299, and since the booking was made through Agoda, the refund would go back to Agoda.
So the obvious question:
If the airline is deducting only ₹299, why is Agoda charging me ₹4,764?
That’s an extra ₹4,465 for what exactly?
Charging 15x the airline’s actual cancellation fee for the same ticket feels completely unethical.
@agodaindia please explain this loot.
@AkasaAir passengers deserve transparency from booking partners.
@jagograhakjago@MoCA_GoI
@kripalamanna@kripalamanna I think this is largely coming from the POS / QR players like DotPe, Petpooja etc.
I agree it probably shouldn’t be mandatory,
With QR ordering, it kind of acts as a confirmation/auth step -making sure the order was actually placed intentionally.
Ridiculous experience at @AxisBank Greenlands, Begumpet branch. Stopped on the way to withdraw some cash from my account.
Cashier Mr Soma Deepak gave me false information about charges applicable and tried to send me to my home branch - a few kms away.
The amount I needed was less than the permissible limit. I’m fully entitled to withdraw at any branch.
When challenged, he says “our (branch) customers should get priority”. What nonsense! Anyway, got my transaction done.
When I went to the information desk to give feedback about this - one Ms Manjula directed me to her colleague sitting next to her - saying he’s the manager. Really now!
When questioned - she tried to brush away the fact that she gave me misleading information and dismiss my query.
How is this ok @AxisBankSupport? What kind of untrained staff do you have, dealing with customers?
A cautionary tale about @urbancompany_uc and how a publicly listed company handles damage claims.
Booked their technician (Sanju Kumar) to install a Luminous inverter at my home in Bangalore. Routine job. Should've been 2 hours.
Invoice no: UCIC260004101947
Complaint no: 69f362690db9530026fe28d7
Instead of a standard install, he opened the main switchboard and worked with MAINS LIVE violating the most basic electrical safety rule. Phase-neutral cross-connection caused a ~280V surge through my home wiring.
Within minutes:
• Geyser circuit dead - Approximation given is around 12,000 to fix
• 55" Smart TV motherboard fried, panel and screen damaged - looking at full loss ( Rs 48,000)
• Apple TV completely destroyed (₹14,900 replacement)
• Home electrical wiring compromised (Assessing currently)
The moment Sanju Kumar realized he'd damaged the geyser, he packed up and LEFT mid-job. Inverter still uninstalled. No fix. No apology. No accountability.
Had to hire a different electrician the next day to fix the wiring he broke out of my own pocket.
Filed formal complaint with UC. Specifically requested a SENIOR technician for independent damage assessment.
UC's response? They sent SANJU KUMAR BACK. The same person who caused the damage. To "take photos" of his own work and walk away.
He showed up, photographed the damage he caused, left without resolution. No claims process opened. No callback.
When we asked UC for a complaint ID, it took multiple follow-ups and a manual download of a tax invoice to extract any documentation. They were not proactive in issuing one almost as if to avoid creating a paper trail.
3 sleepless nights. ₹40,000+ in documented damages. Complete radio silence from UC corporate after that.
@urbancompany_uc@abhirajbhal@raghavchandra@varunkhaitan — your company is publicly listed now. Retail and institutional shareholders are watching how customer grievances are handled.
Is THIS the customer experience model investors signed up for?
1. Technician violates basic electrical safety
2. Damages multiple appliances and home wiring
3. Walks off mid-job when he realizes his mistake
4. Same technician sent back to "investigate" his own damage
5. Customer chases for documentation that should've been auto-generated
6. Then gets ghosted
Listed companies are held to a higher standard of corporate governance, customer protection, and grievance redressal. SEBI compliance and investor disclosures aren't just about quarterly numbers they extend to how the brand treats its customers.
This isn't how a publicly listed company should operate.
Asking for:
1. Independent senior technician (not Sanju Kumar) to assess damage
2. Compensation for documented damages: ₹90,000+
3. Formal acknowledgment of complaint 69f362690db9530026fe28d7
4. Process review — no customer should have to extract their own complaint ID
5. Public clarification on UC's damage claims SOP
Have all invoices, technician's diagnosis report confirming overvoltage cause, photos, timestamps, and WhatsApp records.
please be careful. If a clearly documented case is handled this way, imagine the cases without paper trails.
Consumer forum filing prepared if there's no response in 48 hours.
@peyushbansal , I normally don’t comment on matters outside my realm (in this case HR not being my area), but will make an exception here calling out your points of failure as the Founder and CEO of Lenskart and as a business owner:
1. How can your training documents be mutually exclusive from the enterprise level HR policy? Having sat on Boards and executive decision-making committees of global Tier 1 institutions and organisations, nowhere one sees such occurrence where the Founder and CEO of the business considers their training materials (of whichever kind) be completely mutually exclusive to enterprise level policies (in this case, HR policy). Your argument stands illogical and professionally + operationally flawed.
2. How was that ‘training material’ (which must intersect with enterprise level policy) approved without your awareness as the Founder and CEO of the business? Any policy-level matters must hold the top line decision makers’ respective approvals, in this case you are the Founder + CEO who appears rather clueless to say the least.
3. How can an official training document dated February 2026 become redundant by April 2026? Enterprise level training materials do get updated periodically, but not where the period is as short as 2 months. Shows lack of your strategic thinking and decision-making abilities as the Founder + CEO of Lenskart.
4. There appears to be a clear dearth of clearly defined operational processes at your company. Good that you’ve asked for review of such materials, but you must ensure enterprise level operational processes are clearly defined, signed -off, and reviewed regularly as a proactive measure and not a reactive one.
After the TCS incident, there would be increased scrutiny over Muslim candidates across the country. Recruiters would double-check the backgrounds of Muslim candidates, maybe sometimes even preferring Hindu candidates over Muslims, just to be on the safe side.
But who is to be blamed for this? The only people responsible for this oncoming prejudice against Muslims are the 7 Muslims arrested for sexual abuse, coercion and forced conversion of Hindus working in TCS.
The fact that so many Muslims were working at an IT firm and had the audacity to run a scandal, doing forced conversions, shows that there is no systemic oppression against Muslims in India.
The victims here are the Hindus. Projecting this incident as some sort of Muslim victimhood is treacherous and gaslighting of the highest order.
Yes, there is Islamophobia, but the reason behind Islamophobia are people like these 7 Muslims who were running this forced conversion scandal at TCS.
People keep complaining about @IndiGo6E ground handling so here’s my experience today at Khajuraho airport.
Three check in counters open & manned but two refuse to accept passengers. Every one is directed to one counter manned by a trainee.
As I am checking in I ask the counter supervisor why the other counters won’t accept passengers.
“They are only for fast forward.”
Me: I thought there was no fast forward any longer!
“It’s not on the site but we do have it”
Me: What do you get in fast forward?
“You get priority baggage handling and priority boarding.”
Me: If I had known I would have taken it.
“You can still take it.”
I hand over my credit card. He swipes it. As the luggage is being tagged I notice there is. no Fast Forward tag and ask about it.
“ We stopped doing priority baggage handling for Fast Forward. It only gives you priority check in. “
But I had already checked in. I wouldn’t have taken it if you
hadn’t told me about priority baggage handling .
“I never said priority baggage handling.”
Yes you did . I heard you.
“Okay at least you can
board any time you like.”
I ask for the manager. The supervisor insists he never said anything about baggage handling.
Manager: “I will not accept that my staff are lying.”
But you think I am lying?
He shrugs.
The sum of money is small &
the issue is minor. But given how much we have heard about the culture of lying in @indigo , firing one gora scapegoat may not be enough.
The rot has infected the culture
Prakash Raj, you overrated loudmouthed cunt! That smug face looks like a constipated donkey's asshole after a bad curry binge. Your "acting" is just bellowing like a bitch in heat while real talent saves your sorry ass. Politically you're a spineless cum-guzzling bootlicker for the Gandhi clan, a washed-up has-been whose career is deader than your limp dick. Fuck off, you talentless prick!
As a person who takes nearly 100 flights a year - I have one strong recommendation for you. Don’t fly @airindia. Avoid it like the plague.
This is an airline which has no consideration for its customers, including its loyal, frequent traveling and high paying customers. It is a disgrace to the airline industry, and to India itself.
They will cheat and scam you at every possible opportunity to the last rupee. They will shock you with their level of pettiness and stupidity.
Save your money. Save your time. Don’t give them business out of goodwill or emotions. They don’t deserve it. This company should be forced to drop “India” from its name. It is a blot on @TataCompanies.
The only benefit of privatizing this rotten company was it saved the government exchequer thousands of crores of rupees.
It is a strategic failure and a national embarrassment (given that it carries “India” in its name).
