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.

🚨🚨Central Govt has formed a special committee to fast track and to implement Parandur project. A team from ministry of civil aviation, AAI, Environment & forest ministry are part of it. To meet CM and brief him on the importance of project. Say Chennai needs it no matter what!

















Consequence of dropping Parandur will not be felt now but in 15-20 years from now. Chennai is already feeling the heat for having an subpar airport. Major Cities including the likes of Vizag, Ahmedabad, Noida are building one & Chennai will be left behind... @CMOTamilnadu
