@LauraLoomer Lol, the warthog had no business being anywhere near the strait of Hormuz. If you breach a country's sovereign airspace it is in line with international policy to have the jet shot down.

Metro Line 9 between Dahisar East and Mira-Bhayandar is set to be inaugurated on April 6, as announced by Maharashtra transport minister Pratap Sarnaik. The much-awaited project will boost suburban connectivity. The new corridor will connect Mira-Bhayandar directly to Mumbai’s metro network, easing traffic on the Western Express Highway and reducing travel time. The first phase includes a 4.5 km stretch with multiple stations for smoother daily commuting.

@fpjindia This Red tapism needs to end, we don't need politicians to inaugurate infrastructure projects, just throw them open to the public as soon as they receive regulatory clearance. Everything doesn't have to become a PR opportunity.

@CaVivekkhatri Iran is a formal member of BRICS, why haven't the founding member countries designed and commissioned the BRICS pay platform to settle trade payments between BRICS members by linking their CBDC and trading in local currencies bypassing the SWIFT framework?

🚢 A ship with 600,000 barrels of Iranian oil sailed toward India for 3 days. Then, just 1 day before arrival, it turned around and went to China. Here's why this matters more than you think 👇 The ship: PING SHUN (US-sanctioned, Aframax tanker) The cargo: Iranian crude from Kharg Island, loaded March 4 The plan: Arrive Vadinar, Gujarat on April 4 - India's FIRST Iranian oil in 7 years Then payment talks collapsed. Iran wants cash upfront. India's old payment route (euros via Turkish bank) is dead. Iran is cut off from SWIFT. Indian banks won't touch it - scared of US secondary sanctions. No confirmed Indian buyer. No workable payment channel. China? They've spent years quietly building the infrastructure to pay for exactly this. 90%+ of Iran's crude goes there. They just... pay. The US gave a waiver (valid till April 19) saying "you can buy oil already on the water." But a permission slip means nothing if you can't process the payment. Meanwhile - another Iranian vessel (Sea Bird) arrived at Mangalore on March 30 with Iranian LPG. Still sitting there. Can't unload. Same problem. At peak (2018), Iran supplied India 518,000 barrels/day - 11.5% of all imports. Zero since May 2019. The oil exists. The waiver exists. The need exists. What doesn't exist: a clean, legal way to pay. Until that changes, China wins this trade by default. The Ping Shun's destination can still change - this story isn't over. Big question: Should India build a dedicated payment channel for discounted sanctioned-country crude like China has or is the geopolitical risk not worth it? No official govt comment yet. #IranOil #PingShun #EnergyMarkets #India #CrudeOil #Sanctions #Geopolitics

@anikettpal @rajtoday And First class doesn't cost just double the fare of second class, it costs 5 times the fare. They can do away with the class system & convert all trains to hybrid, with AC replacing the first class & automatic doors for non AC with pricing AC double of non AC fares.

Mumbai’s suburban railway network on Western Railway (WR) is witnessing a curious post-pandemic trend: daily ridership remains below pre-Covid levels, yet revenue has not only recovered but surpassed earlier figures, all this because of revenue from AC local trains.

@anikettpal @rajtoday My point is, the current AC local fares are nearly double that of the MMRDA metro fares. Why would a commuter pay ₹35 for 10 KM in AC local when he can travel in ₹20 for 12 KM in metro? Both are AC modes of transport with similar travel time, then why the disparity in fares?

@AniketSRB @haldilal It will run as a continuous line from Gundavli to Kashigaon for now and CSMIA T2 to Subash Chandra Bose ground in the future. The colour of the line matters more than the number.

@truthonly001 @WithoutHistory @Adefolaitan Saudi Arabia never formally joined BRICS, it just used the invitation as a bargaining chip to strike a better deal with the US. But I agree BRICS members should align their interests and stop bowing to US and European pressure.

If Iran is the new superpower on the Block, then all African nations aligned with the true BRICS bloc stand to gain significantly. True BRICS = Brazil 🇧🇷, Russia 🇷🇺, Iran 🇮🇷, China 🇨🇳, South Africa. I no longer consider India as a trusted BRICS member.

Metro rises in the East! Metro Line 2B is ready to serve Mumbaikars in just a few days. Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee, IAS, Metropolitan Commissioner, MMRDA inspected the 5.53 km long stretch. Phase 1 of Metro Line 2B comprising 5 stations between Chembur and Mandale will change how the city moves. One city, closer than ever before. Mumbai has always moved fast, now it moves smarter. मेट्रो आता पूर्वेकडे मार्गस्थ होत आहे..! मेट्रो लाईन २बी अवघ्या काही दिवसांत मुंबईकरांच्या सेवेसाठी सज्ज होत आहे. डॉ. संजय मुखर्जी, भा. प्र. से., महानगर आयुक्त, एमएमआरडीए यांनी ५.५३ किमी लांबीच्या या मार्गिकेची पाहणी केली. चेंबूर ते मंडाले दरम्यानच्या ५ स्थानकांचा समावेश असलेला मेट्रो लाईन २बीचा पहिला टप्पा हा शहराच्या प्रवासाची दिशा बदलणार आहे. विशेषतः या शहरातील अंतर आता अगदी कमी झालं आहे. मुंबई नेहमीच वेगाने धावली आहे, आता ती अधिक स्मार्टपणे धावणार आहे. #MumbaiInMinutes #MMRDAMovesMumbai #Metro2B #MumbaiMetro @CMOMaharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis @mieknathshinde @DrSanMukherjee @MahaDGIPR

@Khurshedswami @rajtoday @mid_day @drmbct @WesternRly @AshwiniVaishnaw There are 3 categories of trains, AC Vande Bharat long distance (seater/sleeper), Non AC Amrit Bharat long distance (seater/sleeper), AC Namo Bharat short distance (RRTS/Metro). They just need to have the theme of Indian tricolour, one for each, Orange🟠, White+Blue⚪🔵, Green🟢.
