I travelled through Great Nicobar today.
These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow.
The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs.
The government calls what it is doing here a “Project.” What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away.
This is not development. This is destruction dressed in development’s language.
So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this country’s natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime.
It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.
The vaccine dosage was obviously too high and done too many times.
I had the original Wuhan virus before there was any vaccine and it was much like any other cold/flu. Bad, but not terrible.
But my second vaccine shot almost sent me to the hospital. Felt like I was dying.
@tata_neu After nearly a month of troubleshooting a broken UPI feature, Tata Neu App Support (Ticket 11783591) finally informed me the service is temporarily unavailable until mid-February for a system upgrade. Why put me through endless steps for a known outage?
Hi, @tata_neu my UPI issue with the "Scan and Pay" feature is still unresolved after multiple emails and troubleshooting steps since Dec 29. My account is stuck on registration, and I've received no update. Please escalate and resolve this! *Ticket ID: 11783591*\#TataNeu
Hello again to all those glued to Amur Watch !
The Amur Falcons are rewriting the limits of endurance. From the forests of Manipur, three satellite-tagged travellers Apapang, Alang and Ahu have taken the world by storm. Here is the latest update from their epic journey. You will notice Apapang and Alang have crossed into Kenya... while Ahu continues to stay at the northern tip of Somalia. They are likely to stopover at Tsavo National Park in Kenya
Apapang (Orange tag)
The hero of the season.
6,100 km in 6 days 8 hours nonstop.
A single unbroken arc across continents.
Alang (Yellow tag)
The youngest with incredible grit.
5,600 km in 6 days 14 hours, including a night halt in Telangana and a 3-hour breather in Maharashtra before powering towards the Arabian Sea.
Ahu (Red tag)
steady and strong.
5,100 km in 5 days 14 hours, with a night pause in western Bangladesh before joining the great transoceanic push. (Her distance is lower because she took a more northerly and relatively shorter route to Somalia.)
Together, they embody the raw beauty of migration, precision, instinct, wind, stamina, and courage.
What a season ! What a journey ! As told by @SureshWII@wii_india to @supriyasahuias #AmurFalconMigration
JUST IN: Reuters reports that India's savings by buying discounted Russian oil, estimated at $17 billion, have been 'undone' by Trump's tariffs which could cost $37 billion this fiscal year.
@deepigoyal Wishing you the best with LAT’s gas turbine journey! Lightweight materials (e.g., titanium alloys) and AI-driven design optimization—could cut dev time by 20% (per 2024 AeroTech trends). Engineer-led innovation + Bangalore’s talent = game-changer! #MadeInIndia#Aerospace

சைலண்டா ஒரு வைரல் ஃபீவர் நுரையீரல் தொற்றோடு இருமல் மற்றும் லேசான மூச்சு திணறலோட பரவிக்கிட்டு இருக்கிற மாதிரி தெரியுது।
கவனம்! @chennai

VANDE BHARAT | We've decided to prick the 'Vande Bharat' bubble. Analysis of IRCTC booking data reveals that over 50% of Vande Bharat runs either operate with empty or partially filled seats.
This data, sourced from IRCTC just hours before train departures, focuses solely on the General category, excluding Tatkal bookings. Despite the holiday season prompting increased travel among families nationwide, bookings for Vande Bharat remain surprisingly low.
Moreover, this data highlights a concerning trend regarding economic disparities. Affluent regions demonstrate a higher ability to afford Vande Bharat, while economically disadvantaged areas struggle to access these costly services.
You may ask a question what if these routes have less passengers in general? Good question, but see the next tweet for answers (1/3)
@mukil1123 I asked them to provide me proof for their claims, But they deleted my comment, instead of answering. 😂😂🤣 they are not legit. This is false claim and totally wrong.
