India’s IT ministry banned Telegram for one week because some users shared leaked exam questions.
This punishes 150M+ ordinary Telegram users in India — not the insiders who leaked the exam materials.
And the ban hasn't stopped anything. The leaks just moved to other apps.
Indian telecom Reliance is sabotaging access to Telegram for millions of users OUTSIDE India (including the UAE) via a rogue method called BGP hijacking.
The sabotage seems intentional, as Reliance has ignored multiple reports.
This may be part of a competitive war, as Reliance is partially owned by Meta — the company behind WhatsApp.
Network operators are advised to reject unauthorized BGP announcements from Reliance (AS18101) to prevent route hijacks and ensure stable Internet access for their users.
Such abuse of global Internet routing is alarming. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reliance/WhatsApp were also behind the recent lobbying effort to ban Telegram in India.
A customer abused a bank employee at the counter.
Used harsh words. Questioned his competence. Made a scene in front of everyone.
What happened next?
The bank called the employee and told him to apologize to the customer.
Not the customer. The employee.
I have heard this story more times than I can count. Across PSU banks, across branches, across states. The faces change. The script does not.
And every time I hear it, I ask the same question nobody wants to answer:
What does this do to a person?
You wake up at 7. You reach the branch by 9. You handle 200 customers, 15 targets, 3 inspections, and 1 rude officer. You stay late. You miss your kid’s function. You do all of this for a salary that barely crosses Rs 40,000 in hand at junior levels.
And when someone comes to your counter and decides to insult you, the institution you work for tells you to say sorry to that person.
Not because you did something wrong.
But because the customer is always right. Even when the customer is wrong.
This is not a customer service policy.
This is an instruction to forget you have dignity.
And the saddest part is that most employees comply. Not because they want to. Because they are afraid. Afraid of a complaint. Afraid of a transfer. Afraid of an adverse remark in their ACR.
The bank knows this. That is why the policy works.
I spent years inside a PSU bank. I saw what this does to people slowly. A person who joined with confidence starts walking with his head down. Not because he is weak. Because the system spent years teaching him to be small.
Here is what nobody says out loud:
A monthly salary does not buy your self-respect. Your employer has no right to it. And a customer who abuses you is not a stakeholder. He is a person who behaved badly and was never told so.
If bank managements genuinely respected their employees, they would say this to the customer:
“We understand your concern. But our staff will not be spoken to this way. Please raise your complaint in writing.”
Full stop.
That one sentence would change the entire culture.
But that sentence has never been said. And that tells you everything you need to know about how this institution views the people who run it.
You are not a puppet in a salary bracket.
Act like it. And demand to be treated like it.
If you are a banker and this has happened to you, drop a comment. Let people know this is real.

Ethanol Vs Water Crisis?🚨
Just read that producing just 1 litre of ethanol required 4,000 ltr of water.
At the planned scale, ethanol production could consume water equivalent to the 'annual' needs of 200 crore people.
Are we really solving one problem by creating another? 💧🤔
Maybe in future fuel gets cheaper but water becomes unaffordable, is it really a win?
Data privacy & Management division of our bank has issued a revolutionary circular on 11 /06/25 restricting circle officer power to skip day end check in case of KYC and rekyc documents uploading pendency on CKYCR .CO can skip day end checks on a branch only 3 times in a month after that ZO will use this power .in my view there is fiaw in this circular after 6 skips in a month this power should be vested with our MD & CEO sir .
The signatory of this circular is not aware about the staff position of branches a circle like purba midnapore has a shortage of around 100 clerks and a circle like gorakhpur has a shortage of about 70 clerks .officers are working as cashier and manager doing duty of officers .as per HO HRMD itself there are 19 circles where officers shortage are more than 10 pc of sanctioned https://t.co/5Os1OKorPB first HO should address this staff shortage across the country before implementing these draconian coercive measures of keeping employees hostage in branches and if HO do not trust circle office wisdom then what is fun having 5500 plus officers posted in circle offices .scrap this circle office structure so these 5500 officers can be posted in branches and then implement your this fancy deadline of T0 and T1 while RBI time line is T7 and T10 .
note ; AIPNBOF comrades are requested to do their best between 10 AM to 6 PM for both growth and control banking and leave office after 6 PM leaving a mail to co that due to day end check we are not able to do SOL closure The same should be done at co level.

राजकीय पक्षांचा विषय सोडला तर, सतेज पाटील इथे एकदम योग्य बोलतायत. आपल्या जमिनी कायम आपल्या हातात टिकून राहिल्या पाहिजेत आणि शक्य असेल तिथे परप्रांतियांकडून जमिनी खरेदी करून वाढवल्या सुद्धा पाहिजेत. जमीन टिकून राहिली तरच तुमचं आणि तुमच्या परिवाराचं अस्तित्व टिकून राहील.
CJI’s cockroach remark has sparked a mini GenZ revolution in India. It has great potential but should be steered carefully. To begin with they should start a movement on Employment by demanding a Right to employment Law
@DFS_India@FinMinIndia@nsitharamanoffc While Profit of PSU Banks are at all Time High, Salary of employees is lowest in comparison to others PSUs without 5 Days Working.
3rd Party TPAs of Bank are exploiting by declining claims with unnecessary documentation.
Remove these Useless TPAs, Banks must directly deal for claims. As they've became center to reject claims.

A man tried to withdraw money from sister’s bank A/C without being nominee, Bank asked for death certificate or nominee proof, as standard. Rather following process, brought her skeleton.
Now whole country trolling bank staff. How Funny! No one want to follow rule or system!
“शिवराय थकले आणि राजपाट समर्थांकडं दिला,” हे तथाकथित बागेश्वर नामक भोंदूचं वक्तव्य अत्यंत संतापजनक आहे. यापूर्वीही या भोंदूसह त्याच्या काही सहकाऱ्यांनी जगद्गुरु संत तुकोबाराय, संत ज्ञानेश्वर माऊली आणि एकूणच संत परंपरेसंदर्भात गरळ ओकली होती. वारंवार अशाप्रकारची वक्तव्ये करून महाराष्ट्राच्या संत परंपरेला, छत्रपतींच्या इतिहासाला, फुले-शाहू-आंबेडकरांच्या विचारांना गालबोट लावून महापुरुषांचं महत्व कमी करण्याचा एककलमी कार्यक्रम तर राबवला जात नाही ना? अशी शंका येते.
भोंदू बागेश्वरकडून शिवछत्रपतींचा अवमान होत असताना राज्यकर्तेही त्या स्टेजवर होते याचं जास्त दुःख वाटतं. शिवछत्रपतींचा अवमान करणाऱ्या भोंदू बागेश्वरवर महाराष्ट्रात बंदी घालावी. हा भोंदू यापुढं महाराष्ट्रात दिसता कामा नये, अन्यथा भोंदू बागेश्वरसह सरकारलाही महागात पडेल. सरकार या भोंदूवर कारवाई करेल असं वाटत नाही. त्यामुळं ‘सहन करत दुर्लक्ष करायचं की धडा शिकवायचा’, हे आता शिवप्रेमी जनता आणि या सर्व महामानवांच्या विचारावर प्रेम करणाऱ्या सर्वसामान्यांनीच ठरवायला हवं.
