Nothing, NOTHING is more disturbing than the death of 27 yr old Noida techie Yuvraj Mehta. On Saturday evening, his car accidently skid to an under-construction site for a mall in Noida’s Sector 150 which had a pit full of drain water. He climbed on top of his car, switched on the torch of his phone and called his father for help. His dad reached within minutes, and so did the cops. But they all stood around the pit, hearing Yuvraj’s desperate pleas for help, through the dense fog. For nearly two hours, Yuvraj kept screaming to be saved, his car slowly sinking in. The police and the rescue teams apparently refused to jump in, because they could either not swim, or the water was too cold. A delivery boy eventually tied a rope around his waist and jumped in, by which time Yuvraj had drowned, screaming for help for two hours. In front of his inconsolable father. This happened barely a few kilometres away from the national capital. To a guy who must have paid lakhs in taxes like any law abiding citizen. The system failed him when he needed it the most. The Chief Minister of the State has thankfully suspended the CEO of the Noida authority and formed an investigation team. But how are those in authority able to sleep after such a death? How can anyone not get haunted by a young life snatched in this most brutal manner. How?

This post on traditional medicine from our honorable PM has 19K likes. As an Indian citizen, I am going to go ahead and say a few things that may not be appetizing. Apologies for the long post. 19K likes and 1000s of comments "appreciating" this absolutely useless post which means nothing shows the abyssmal science literacy of Indian populace online. I am not blaming this Govt only, and all Govts are to blame for keeping pseudoscience alive and a "career option" for young minds in India - but I will clearly saw that Govt is the one who really kickstarted this brain rot. These so-called "Summits" , "Deep Discussions" and "Bilateral Meetings" on herbal/traditional medicine, and Ayush are as important as toiler paper is, for the dining table. This whole "eye-wash" is just to keep the emotions among public alive on AYUSH (especially Ayurveda). Since the 10+ years this Govt has been in powder, there has been ZERO clinically beneficial output in Traditional Medicine that has changed medicine. It has always been these "Summits" or "MoUs - Memorandum of Understanding" with "Institutes of National Reputes" - like AIIMS , PGI Chandigarh, IITs or JIPMER and NIMHANS. These MoUs have also resulted in ZERO clinically relvant outcomes in medicine and research from India by AYUSH sector. In fact these MoUs have actually resulted in complete destruction of institutes of repute. In 2017, it was reported that scientists at AIIMS, Delhi, received government funding to research the medicinal value of Panchgaavya - a mixture including cow urine and feces. However, a faculty member, responding to viral claims, stated that AIIMS's Animal Ethics Committee would not permit such experiments. Similarly, this Govt promoted research into cow derivatives through the "Scientific Validation and Research on Panchgavya" (SVAROP) program, which has received proposals from institutions like IIT Delhi - as if this was what IITs where made to do. It is pathetic. NIMHANS, the best neurosciences institute in the country was hijacked by traditional medicine (AYUSH) and is now offering public/ patients "integrated healthcare" which includes a bunch of pseudoscience packages. JIPMER, once a shining post-graduate medical institute is now offering "integrated course" - where students can learn both modern medicine AND Ayurveda together and ruin their lives as well as their patients. Just like these wasted programs, this "Summit" will also cater to the post-truth era that has taken over Indian healthcare and research - where feelings and emotions are more important than science, research and discovery. To give you an idea of how things must be, The Kerala State Govt. recently developed the Centre of Excellence in Microbiome (kscste.kerala.gov.in/centre-of-exce…) that will study population-level microbiota and help improve our understanding of non-communicable diseases and develop precision microbial therapies. The State Govt is also developing a dedicated ₹643.88-crore organ transplant institute in Kozhikode (thehindu.com/news/national/…). These are the "Summits" and "Meetings" that matter, not this worthless Traditional Medicine circus you always put out. And wHO is doing this because India funds them and they are partly a political organization, not a pure scientific one. The brain rot people who keep appreciating you in the comments do not even realize this fact. Look at India's organ transplant status when it comes to patient level - there is not a single valuable national or core organ transplant center in the central government institute. All these AIIMS, PGIs - and not a single proper core transplant program. Dont you think the Indian public deserve better than these tradition and culture based eye-washing and white-washing of pseudoscience? Or maybe the current majority among the public deserves this circus and nonsese only and others are forced to ride shotgun. Food for thought.

Dr. @dr_sivaranjani painstakingly fought for 8 years to convince the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to heed the harms of fake ORS drinks targeting children, flooding the market from greedy corporate companies. She won. FSSAI ordered the ban on the use of “ORS” in product names except for WHO-approved formulations - which meant that these companies fake mislabelled products could not be sold. But then, she lost. In a new twist of events, the Delhi High Court and FSSAI has now ordered that fake ORS products, especially the worst and the most stocked one - ORSL Drink by JNTL Consumer Health (the name for the Indian consumer health subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, which is now known as Kenvue) can continue to be sold temporarily under the High Court’s interim protection. The Court and FSSAI has essentially allowed the sale of fake mislabelled products worth 180 crore Indian Rupees to protect the interest of the greedy corporations without any concern for the children's health. As a citizen of this country, you can help the good doctor and her great deed by BOYCOTTING THESE SUBSTANDARD PRODUCTS - LET THESE PRODUCTS ROT ON THE SHELVES. The public is the most powerful entity of a Nation. Let us be one and take care of ourselves and our children. Do not buy these SUGARY products with zero health benefits and do not follow WHO Standards- and spread the word please! Share maximum! ORSL by JTNL (Johnson and Johnson, Kenvue) REBALANCE VIT ORS (ReddyLabs) GLUCON - D ORS (Zydus) The Courts allowed it. FSSAI consented to it. But as the public of this country who value our childrens health, let us not. Make sure these greedy corporations suffer for their deceptions.

The E20 petrol saga is back. And here's yet another example of policy-making that seems blind to ground realities. Fuel dealers - especially in India's coastal belts - are urging oil companies to supply non-E20 petrol at least during monsoons. Why? Because E20 petrol is absorbing moisture (water-literally) and becoming watery! This is causing engine failures. An Audi Q7 owner had to pay Rs. 4 lakh on repairs after water-mixed E20 petrol was filled in his luxury SUV. Shri @HardeepSPuri please make non-e20 petrol available in high-humidity coastal areas during monsoons. And do this at least until petrol bunks upgrade their tanks to suit E20 petrol during monsoons. Shri @nitin_gadkari here's yet another example of how people are struggling with the after-effects of E20 petrol. You were asking, 'show me one person affected by E20 petrol.' Hope this helps. @kapsology @TheDeshBhakt cartoq.com/car-news/fuel-…

Help me understand this. 12 children in Rajasthan died because their cough syrups were contaminated with toxic DEG made by Kayson Pharma. 11 children died in Madhya Pradesh after consuming contaminated cough syrup made by Shreesan Pharma. This was proven through lab testing by Madhya Pradesh (MP) and Tamil Nadu government labs. But the Ministry of Health, India told people that the cough syrups were clean and then one mother who gave the cough syrup to her child in Rajasthan was jailed and a doctor who prescribed cough syrup in MP was arrested. No one from the company that manufactured these killer syrups were arrested or jailed. One manufacturer, Kayson Pharma was already blacklisted in 2023 for poor quality drugs. Why were these reptiles led back into the contract? If one of the children who died was that of some big business magnate who gave funds to political party in power, or belonged to a politician, the story would have been so much different right? What kind of governance are we stuck with? A government that does not care for their children is a liability and a burden to citizens, not an ally and shield. India is turning to be the circus that the jokers who elected the jokers want it to be. For the underprivileged, every new day feels like a bonus in this country,

China builds new bridges over old ones, then demolishes the old safely. Imagine the scale of engineering precision. Meanwhile in Mumbai we demolish first, take a decade to rebuild, let Mumbaikars rot in traffic forever. ‘Maximum City’, minimum brains.

So India is exporting E0 (zero ethanol, pure petrol) to other countries, but forcing their own citizens with E20 petrol???

India was less than just 1% of Russian oil, now its up to 42%. India is just profiteering Some of the richest families in India. - USA Gov So its confirmed that only Ambanis-Other Rich benefitted from Russian oil & whole India has to suffer 50% Tariffs.

This 4 year old daughter of a street vendor died of rabies in Bengaluru. Badly bitten on the face on Apr 27, family endured months of struggle, panic, and desperation, only to see their beloved child meet a tragic end. 10,000 bites daily in India, mostly kids, almost all from poor or lower middle-class. Never the children of the privileged, never the children celebrities like Janhvi Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, John Abraham, Raveena Tandon, Bhumi Pednekar, Zoya Akhtar, or Shefali Shah may have today or tomorrow. Since their families will never face it, it’s not their problem. That’s why they never speak compassion when poor kids die of rabies. But the moment the SC ordered action on stray dogs, they suddenly discovered “compassion”, because right now, that’s the in thing and looks good on CV.

So-called “dog lovers” are almost always from the rich crowd. Their pampered kids never walk a single step on foot. It’s the poor kids who get chased, bitten, and die from rabies. Funny—never met a dog lover earning less than ₹1 lakh a month.

This stray dog drama feels like a proper distraction. While everyone's outraging out about it, the real big story which is voter fraud is getting pushed out of the news cycle. We're falling right into their trap.

No outrage for Taxes, rents, road deaths,corruption, housing crisis but rallies for animals over people. Show me bigger gawar than Delhi wale. #straydogs

Now you understand the whole agenda behind One Nation One Election It’s much easier to manipulate voter lists, less chances of getting caught red handed.

Govt ministers dismissed those raising concerns about E20 petrol as “motivated trolls” and are running social media campaigns to defend their actions by comparing India with Brazil. Here’s the reality check, Mr @HardeepSPuri: 1. In Brazil, blending began in 1975, but E0 petrol remained available until 1993 (and still in special cases), giving non-compliant car owners an alternative for nearly two decades. India jumped from E10 to E20 in just 3 years without offering E0/E5/E10 options, despite 80–90% of current petrol vehicles not being E20-compatible. 2. Brazil worked with automakers well before setting mandates, so by the time E22 became law, almost all new cars were ethanol-compatible. In India, BIS regulations are announced with short compliance timelines forcing rushed adaptations and causing performance complaints. Govt rolled out E20 despite knowing cars made before 2023 are not compliant. 3. Brazil kept its blend steady (E20–E25) for years, allowing OEMs to design engines with certainty. India’s rapid jump from E10 to E20 leaves little time for testing, and now we plan to roll out E27 in the next few years. 4. Brazil reduced fuel prices after ethanol blending. India hasn’t, despite reduced mileage and potential parts damage in non-compliant vehicles. 5. Brazil kept the public well informed about ethanol’s role, benefits, and limitations, framing it as national energy independence. In India, decisions are pushed through with little to no public communication or feedback. 6. Brazil started with petrol blending only, perfecting stability, infrastructure, and compatibility before tackling diesel or flex-fuel. India is simultaneously pushing E20 petrol, flex-fuel prototypes, biodiesel, CNG, EVs, and diesel-ethanol. So don’t hide behind Brazil. We’re not questioning your intent, but your methods. Don’t use consumers’ hard-earned assets as test subjects. : A motivated troll.

At the TERMINAL T3 of the Lucknow airport, multiple pots strategically placed to collect water dripping off the ceiling. Built at a cost of ₹2400 crores, the terminal was inaugurated last year.

Look at what Toyota has responded on Ethanol blending in one of the public threads: 1. Clearly advising against using E20 2. Using this fuel will void warranty So, while the government is forcing ethanol on us, automobile companies won’t cover damage. Wow!

I appreciate that at least there was a response after my letter and the public outrage that’s a good start. However, the main questions still remain unanswered. 1. If you're blending 20% ethanol with petrol, why haven’t the fuel prices gone down? Ethanol is cheaper shouldn't that benefit the public? 2. You haven’t addressed the conflict of interest. Does Mr. Gadkari or his family have any ownership or business links with ethanol-producing companies? 3. Why aren't people being given a choice? Why is there no option to buy pure petrol or even E10? 4. You claim ₹1.04 lakh crore has been saved due to ethanol blending. Then who exactly gained from it? Because the Indian consumers haven’t received even a single penny’s benefit. These are not political questions, they are questions of transparency and public interest. I’m asking again, respectfully, but firmly. The people deserve answers. Garvit Sethi A concerned citizen
