Guys ! Make these guys famous 😡

A black Scorpio. A helpless truck driver.

A mob that blocked his path, threatened him, and then smashed his windshield with a stone. The glass flew. The driver screamed: “My eye is burst.”

This is not a road rage incident.

This is a targeted, brutal attack on a working man earning his livelihood.

@bihar_police the culprits are identifiable. Arrest them before this becomes a body count.

Dear @Uppolice one of my friend's sister was assaulted for objecting the guy who was travelling in the same coach and was harassing them.

Ramzan... We Salute You

In the Bargi Dam tragedy in Jabalpur, "Ramzan" saved the lives of four people.

Construction work was underway just a short distance from the spot at the Bargi Dam where the cruise accident occurred. Laborers engaged in the bridge construction project witnessed the cruise boat sinking.

At that very moment, Ramzan who was present at the scene leapt into the water to save lives, disregarding his own safety and without the aid of any equipment or resources.

Ramzan pulled six people out of the water, of these, four were alive, while two had already perished.

You pay taxes to the Centre. The Centre passes a share to the states. And what do both levels of government do with it? Burn it on freebies and flashy “yojanas.”

Development? NO.
Infrastructure? NO.
Taxpayer welfare? NO.
Food safety? NO.
Clean air? NO.
Safe drinking water? NO.
Quality public healthcare? NO.

And then the blame game starts, states cry, “Don’t ask us, the Centre isn’t giving enough funds,” while still splurging on handouts instead of delivering basic services.

गंगा एक्सप्रेसवे पर कार का एक साइड का टोल टैक्स लगभग 1800 रुपए है।

मतलब ये टोल टैक्स तब है जब आदमी गाड़ी खरीदने में 18 से 28% जीएसटी दे चुका होता है।

पेट्रोल में टैक्स देगा वो अलग
इनकम में टैक्स देगा वो अलग
गाड़ी के इंश्योरेंस में टैक्स देगा वो अलग।

इन सभी टैक्स को मिलाकर,
सांसद जी को टोल फ्री मिलेगा,
जज साहब टोल फ्री रहेंगे
विधायक जी टोल फ्री रहेंगे
सांसद जी को फर्स्ट एसी में यात्रा फ्री मिलेगी।

Prices “unchanged” isn’t some generosity, it’s the bare minimum after years of crushing taxes. Indians are still paying among the highest effective fuel costs because governments milk petrol and diesel as revenue machines.

Only brianless bakths call it as a relief. When crude falls, do prices fall proportionally? No. When elections come, prices freeze. After that, silence. That’s not policy, that’s timing.

And calling every criticism “fake news” is just a convenient escape. People aren’t stupid, they feel the pinch daily in transport, food, and living costs.

If this is “protection,” why are households still struggling? Why is fuel one of the biggest contributors to inflation?

Stop the narrative spin. The real issue isn’t whether prices changed today, it’s why they remain so high in the first place.

•क्या आप अपने बच्चे को सरकारी स्कूल में पढ़ाते हैं?
•क्या बीमार होने पर सरकारी अस्पताल में इलाज करवाते हैं?
•अगर आपका फोन , गाड़ी या घर में चोरी हो जाए तो क्या आपको पुलिस पर भरोसा है कि सब वापस मिल जाएगा?
•क्या आपको देश की न्याय व्यवस्था पर भरोसा है कि बिना परेशान हुए न्याय मिल जाएगा ?
•क्या आपके घर के बाहर की नाली और सड़क हमेशा साफ रहती है?
•क्या सरकारी बाबू जिनको आपके टैक्स के पैसों से सैलरी मिलती है बिना घूंस के काम कर देते हैं?

Indians on vacation to Pahalgam, got shot at..Indians on religious yatra at Kumbh, died in stampede..Indians stopped at a petrol pump, a hoarding fell on them..Indians went for a boat ride in jabalpur, drowned...how we have settled for death as part of a national scheme !

[Open Letter @openletteryt]

The Jabalpur cruise tragedy should not be brushed aside as just “bad weather.” At Bargi Dam, the cruise capsized during a storm, and the death toll later rose to at least 9.

Now, everyone will try to blame it on the tourists, because they are too scared ti ask the real questions. Who allowed the boat to sail in worsening weather? Who signed off on safety? Who was responsible for emergency preparedness? And why does it take deaths in India for basic accountability to even enter the conversation?

Many videos now show that passengers were not properly wearing life jackets before the crisis, and some accounts say life jackets were given only after the boat started sinking. If that is true, then this was not only a natural event. It was a man-made disaster built on negligence.

Everyone involved is equally responsible and must be questioned: the operator, the crew, the tourism department, the licensing authority, the district administration, and everyone who allowed “enjoyment” to override safety.

In India, tragedies are too often treated as fate when they are really the final result of ignored rules, lazy enforcement, and zero fear of consequences. Those 9 people did not just drown. They were failed.

[NCIB Headquarters @NCIBHQ]

यह हादसा या लापरवाही नही – हत्या है

क्रूज़ पर पहले किसी भी यात्री को लाइफ जैकेट नहीं दी गई। जब पानी अंदर घुसने लगा, तब घबराहट में जैकेट बांटी गई, जिससे अफरा-तफरी मच गई और लोग एक-दूसरे से छीनने लगे। इसी अव्यवस्था में क्रूज़ पलट गया।

सबसे गंभीर बात यह है कि क्रूज़ में क्षमता से अधिक लोगों को बैठाया गया और सुरक्षा नियमों की पूरी तरह अनदेखी की गई। यह सिर्फ गलती नहीं, बल्कि सीधी आपराधिक लापरवाही है।

इस हादसे में अपने परिवार को खो चुकी एक महिला की पीड़ा बताती है कि यह त्रासदी टाली जा सकती थी। जिन यात्रियों से कमाई की गई, उनकी सुरक्षा तक सुनिश्चित नहीं की गई।

दोषियों के खिलाफ सख्त दंडात्मक कार्रवाई होनी चाहिए – लाइसेंस रद्द हो, आपराधिक केस दर्ज हों और पीड़ितों को न्याय मिले।

[Divya Gandotra Tandon @divya_gandotra]

Another tragedy. Same pattern. Zero accountability.

The Jabalpur boat disaster isn’t an “accident”, it’s a system failure.

1) No life jackets at boarding: passengers reportedly got them only when the boat was already sinking

2) Weather warnings ignored despite strong winds and visible risk

3) Crew negligence: survivors allege they were left to fend for themselves

4) No safety briefing, no drills, no preparedness

9 lives lost. Families destroyed. And this was a tourism activity, not a remote accident zone.

This raises a bigger question:

👉 In India, are “adventure activities” just profit centres with zero safety compliance?

From boating to paragliding to river rafting

> Are operators audited?
> Are safety protocols enforced or just on paper?
> Who verifies weather clearance?
> Who ensures mandatory gear is actually used?

Because right now, it looks like:

You’re paying for thrill… and risking your life due to negligence.

Until strict, enforceable national safety standards are applied
these tragedies will keep repeating.

Accountability must go beyond compensation.
It must include criminal liability.

This deranged rich brat deserves to be in jail. The police should give him such a thrashing that all his arrogance is knocked out.

Who is this spoiled rich kid?

This video is from Rajat Vihar Society in Noida Sector 62, Uttar Pradesh. First, the unruly rich brat broke the barrier, then went on to assault an elderly security guard.

People like this need to be dealt with strictly.

[Priyanka Bharti @priyanka2bharti]

ऐसा लगने लगा है कि देश के पूरे सिस्टम को बिना किसी जवाबदेही के चलाया जा रहा है!

जब क्रूज डूबने को है तब लाइफ जैकेट की अनपैकिंग चल रही थी! प्रशासन दिन भर करता क्या है? लापरवाही और जिम्मेदारी कभी तय नहीं होती है!

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

The ill-fated cruise that capsized in Jabalpur killed 9, with several still missing. Look, no life jackets.

Survivors said they asked the crew to turn back when winds worsened, but were ignored. Life jackets were given only after cruise began capsizing.

Another reminder: avoid deep water activities in India unless you can swim well.

Operators don’t use life jackets. Even when they do, they are cheap, low-quality, poorly maintained, or outright substandard, sometimes waterlogged, torn, or with failing straps, just to tick a box. Certification labels are missing or meaningless, and regular inspection or replacement is rare.
