@TOILucknow Is this what our politics and politicians all about ??

[Ravi Ponoth @ravi_ponoth]

A powerful critique drawn from boots-on-the-ground perspective laying bare how the CAPF Gen Admin Bill 2026 risks diluting the morale and operational efficiency of our frontline forces by prioritizing bureaucratic oversight over domain expertise. Hope the MHA takes note.

[Mohinder Singh Malhi @BorderOfficer]

A scholarly and thoughtful article to highlight the haste with which CAPF Bill is being piloted through the Parliament and the damage it may cause. Reconsideration and reflection should be attempted by govt instead of bulldozing.

Meaningful words from Mr Rahul Gandhi. I am at a loss to understand why the PM and HM have not appreciated the adverse impact of the draconian CAPF bill on the op efficiency and morale of the CAPFs.

असिस्टेंट कमांडेंट अजय मलिक जी ने नक्सली मुठभेड़ के दौरान IED ब्लास्ट में अपना एक पैर खो दिया - देश की रक्षा में सब कुछ दांव पर लगा दिया।

और इस बलिदान के बदले मिला क्या?
15 साल से अधिक की निष्ठापूर्ण सेवा के बावजूद - प्रमोशन नहीं, अपनी ही फोर्स को लीड करने का अधिकार नहीं। क्योंकि सभी शीर्ष पद IPS अफसरों के लिए आरक्षित हैं।

यह सिर्फ एक अफसर की पीड़ा नहीं - यह लाखों CAPF जवानों के साथ हो रहा संस्थागत अन्याय है।

ये जवान सीमाओं पर तैनात रहते हैं, आतंक और नक्सलवाद से लोहा लेते हैं, लोकतंत्र के उत्सव चुनावों को सुरक्षित बनाते हैं। लेकिन जब इनके अधिकार और सम्मान की बात आती है, तो व्यवस्था मुँह फेर लेती है।

खुद CAPF के जवान इस भेदभाव के विरुद्ध हैं। सुप्रीम कोर्ट तक ने इस व्यवस्था पर सवाल उठाए हैं। फिर भी, वर्तमान सरकार इसी अन्याय को कानूनी रूप से स्थायी बनाने पर आमादा है।

यह विधेयक केवल एक करियर रोकने का प्रयास नहीं - यह उन लोगों का मनोबल तोड़ने की कोशिश है जो देश की पहली रक्षा पंक्ति हैं। और जब उनका मनोबल टूटता है, तो राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा की नींव हिलती है।

हम CAPF के जवानों का सम्मान सिर्फ शब्दों में नहीं, नीतियों में करते हैं। कांग्रेस का साफ वादा है - हमारी सरकार आते ही यह भेदभावपूर्ण कानून समाप्त होगा। क्योंकि जो देश के लिए लड़ता है, उसे नेतृत्व का अधिकार मिलना ही चाहिए।

Deeply disappointed to see the ruling party MPs vociferously defending the CAPF Gen Admin bill 2026 without having an iota of idea about the true import of the bill and how it demolishes the morale of CAPF officers , the op efficiency of the Forces and National Security at large.

[Ravi Ponoth @ravi_ponoth]

@kamalkant1961 Please elucidate what productive role can an IPS officer play during a war like situation on the borders. Are they trained or experienced in the operations of war ? Are they capable of inspecting a unit or sub unit manning a defended area or defended locality ? Please introspect.

[Ravi Ponoth @ravi_ponoth]

@VTankha @SudhanshuTrived @RijijuOffice Was expecting Mr Sudhanshu Trivedi to talk some sense. Unfortunately, he knows nothing about leadership of the Central forces during high risk operations in which the commanders have to be exposed to the same degree of threat as the men. There is no remote command Mr Trivedi.

[Ravi Ponoth @ravi_ponoth]

Wish the opposition leader of our country also learns from this .

I want to remind us all: The people of Israel are strong. The IDF and the Air Force are strong. The strongest power in the world stands with us.

In moments like these we stand together - and we win together.

There is no coalition and no opposition, only one people and one IDF, with all of us behind them 🇮🇱

Sir,
Please do something about the sad state of CGHS Ganganahalli, Bengaluru. Senior citizens are forced to queue up on public road. Center opened at Sahakar Nagar to be made fully operational to reduce load here.
Thanks

In an outburst, a Pakistani MP slammed Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as 'Buzdil' (coward), accusing him of lacking the courage to even utter Prime Minister @narendramodi's name. The MP laments that Pakistan’s army is demoralized and the nation stands helpless, unable or unwilling to support its own forces in this critical hour.

Grateful if the process of Re-KYC and KYV of Fast Tag is made online. Having to physically visit banks looks like an anachronism in digital India. Had this experience at KVB bank today.

[Ravi Ponoth @ravi_ponoth]

@BSFODISHA Happy to see that the Koraput Sector is now able to conduct civic action programs which is symbolic of the success achieved in curbing the grip of Naxals in the area. Great going DIG Satyavan and team.

[Ravi Ponoth @ravi_ponoth]

The amendment to the pension rules has caused considerable apprehension among the CAPF veterans. Since govt can now formally differentiate between various categories of pensioners, their regular pension should be restored and OROP granted in recognition of their sacrifices.

@BSFACYTEKANPUR @BSF_India @PIBBhopal Hearty congratulations to all officers of 49 and 50 AC (DE) courses on their passing out. Hope they will get the opportunity to lead the Force effectively and their career aspirations will be met. A bit intrigued about two batches passing out together, however.

@DCPNorthBCP Have orders for depositing licensed fire arms with jurisdictional PSs been issued ?

#UnjamBengaluru Confusion reg free left turn from Doddaballapur Rd to Yelahanka old town near the rmz mall. Earlier it was a free left turn but now the red light comes up in intervals causing avoidable jam. Please address this.

@Lolita_TNIE @XpressBengaluru @NewIndianXpress @KannadaPrabha @msshankar1961 @FightForRERAInd @BSBommai Good Move from Karnataka Real Estate Authority asking buyers to give Compliant on their building Completion report. This will help the KREA to speed up the housing project from the Builder if it is not finished with in the stipulated time.This is really a good help to Buyers.

[Ravi Ponoth @ravi_ponoth]

#UnjamBengaluru
Two points pertaining to Yelahanka: 1: BMTC buses stopping in the middle of congested roads to pick up and deboard passengers.
2: Inveterate wrong side bike riders.
Will help smooth flow of traffic if addressed.
Thanks

Found this beautifully maintained jogging track under the elevated road at Salem. Bengaluru has ample scope of adopting this model.

Condition of the sidewalk in front of NCC Meadows 2 at Puttenahalli Doddaballapur Road Yelahanka. Residents tripping over and getting injured. Please take urgent action.
