@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.

Mumbai Metro Lines 2B & 9 Phase 1 Ready But Launch Delayed Due To Political Engagements, Commuters Express Frustration #Mumbai #Metro #MMRDA #Transport #Commuters freepressjournal.in/mumbai/mumbai-…

@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.

@esmoteric @rajtoday what even is your point? first class costs more than double the second class fare, and AC is only 1.4 times the first class not even double

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. Click on the picture to read details: mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-…

@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?

@TheGoldfatherOG @Ironball_T @paying34050 @Megatron_ron Yup, the MAGAtards are beyond repair 😂🤣

@esmoteric @Ironball_T @paying34050 @Megatron_ron You’re talking to a moron who has cut off his oxygen supply having his head so far up trump’s ass

BREAKING: 🇦🇹🇺🇸🇮🇱 Austria has rejected all US requests to cross their airspace

@Ironball_T @paying34050 @Megatron_ron Not nonsense, he literally posted an AI video of him dropping shit on his own American citizens protesting against him in the 'No Kings' rally. youtu.be/DX5CewgpuhM?si…

@paying34050 @Megatron_ron Nonsense.

@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.

@haldilal mr cat, can u tell me whether they will run line 9 as a single line or a seperate 3km section from dahisar east? if its seperate then 😤

Mumbai Metro line 2 and 9 scheduled for opening on 6th April 2026 after previous two deadlines in December and March lapsed due to Certification and other technical paperworks, Pre revenue services Testing are been carried out currently on both lines before official Inauguration.

@Khurshedswami @brahmmajoshi @rajtoday @mid_day @drmbct @WesternRly @AshwiniVaishnaw Translation: "Sir, National institute of design, Sir" Now imagine the babu saying it with paan gutka in his mouth 😅😋

@brahmmajoshi @esmoteric @rajtoday @mid_day @drmbct @WesternRly @AshwiniVaishnaw Was that a Babudom language in the 1st line.. It went over my head just like their work

A FIRST TIME SIGHTING IN MUMBAI VANDE METRO past Prabhadevi Stn in Churchgate Direction Maybe towards CCG for a Trial or to the MX yard Trains & RFs are Magnets... dont escape sightings.. Lol Special Thanx to RF Pratik for highlighting its the VM & not a VB as i had felt

@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.

@WithoutHistory @Adefolaitan India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and UAE should be expelled from brics

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.

@Abbamurtala15 @ApkiPurnima Gemini added a 3rd person to the mix just for fun it seems 😅

@ApkiPurnima @grok Gemini did it, it's always better than @grok when it comes to image generation

@MMRDAOfficial @MMMOCL_Official Why are Red line 🔴 rakes being run on the 2B line for testing? 2B is Yellow line 🟡 right, doesn't MMRDA have enough yellow line rakes yet?

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🟢.

@esmoteric @rajtoday @mid_day @drmbct @WesternRly @AshwiniVaishnaw Lol.. Getting Tired of seeing this everywhere across Indian Railways to be honest Vande Metro, Vande Sleeper, Vande Bharat, Amrit Bharat, Vande This That... all look Same Even regular locos/coaches will be same colour surely Every Train shud have an Aura & Identity of its Own

@Md_Nowsath_ It is a mental illness that has been inculcated in them by the BJP government. It will only grow worse till they remain in power.

I guess performing in front of Mosques is very essential part of Hindu religion

@RoshanKrRaii They could've made it on the Bandra Worli sea link instead of this location so it would be away from residential buildings. Could make it on the patch supported by pillars between the two suspension bridges so even the vibration wouldn't be an issue for the structural stability.

> Govt spends 60 Million Rupees on a useless musical lane > People start getting irritated, noise complaints registered > Govt forced to barricade it every night > road narrowed , 60 Million down the drain Masterclass from BJP on wasting public money

@visegrad24 This is actually good for France, it is better off without the dead weight of Israel weighing it down. It can find better markets for its defence exports.

BREAKING: Israel ends all defense deals with France The Israeli Ministry of Defense has suspended all defense procurement from France and terminated existing contracts. This decision follows Paris's refusal to allow U.S. aircraft carrying military supplies for Israel to transit French airspace. 🇮🇱🇫🇷

@Ginny10149989 @KevinMuruta @IRanMediaco That just saves Iran a few missiles and should be a welcome move 😜

@KevinMuruta @IRanMediaco Since we built and paid for the bases, we will destroy them before we leave. 😝

BREAKING NEWS: France joins Spain and Italy in blocking US aircraft movements over its territory.

@haldilal Will they order a complete new set of 6 coach rakes and transfer the existing 4 coach ones to Navi Mumbai metro? Coz getting 2 additional compatible coaches to attach in the existing rakes may be difficult I guess.

Mumbai Metro Line 1 assessment for order of additional rakes to argument existing 16, 4 rakes trains been initiated, once completed tenders will be invited for procumnets of new rakes, Increasing capacity of Mumbai's most crowded and first Metro line significantly in near future.

@KalamCenter There is no regulatory order for converting all 28 day packs to 30 days. TRAI has mandated telcos to have options of 30 day as well as fixed date monthly recharge plans in addition to their existing 28 day packs & all operators already have that. Raghavji achieved nothing new.

The 28 Day Trap is Finally Over ! #trendingpost
