@DeepakVisva Agreed,but a balanced and transparent fare revision mechanism is necessary to ensure that buses remain both affordable for passengers and financially sustainable for operators.

Private Daily route buses should be allowed to revise fares in line with rising diesel prices.
It’s becoming extremely difficult for them to operate otherwise.
Driver salaries, maintenance costs where tyres alone cost a bomb. Why should they continue running at the same fares for years despite all these increasing expenses?
Route buses are part of everyday public transport and are already operating on extremely thin margins.
Expecting them to run for years at the same fares despite rising expenses is simply unsustainable.

@DeepakVisva They already priced their basic tariff as 3x of 3rd AC cost in IRCTC bro

A 19-year old broke into India's largest high school examination system of 2M+ students a year, the CBSE, and was able to view and CHANGE any students' marks.
He responsibly wrote to the team 3 months ago, and it took them 3 days to fix only one of the issues. Today, they took the entire website down.
This is a absolute embarrassment. The futures and lives of millions rests in the hands of the utterly incompetent. There is also no mass media reporting on the matter.
This topic is close to me because not only is this the education system I went through, but 12 years ago and silently for 5yrs since, I'd written about and reported a much less severe vulnerability allowing me to scrape these results too. More than a decade later, not much has changed.
This 19yo, Nisarga Adhikary, wrote a great piece outlining each vulnerability he reverse engineered:
- the master password leak
- the client-side 2fac / OTP validation workaround
- tokenless access to the entire internal app (dashboard, evaluator details, etc) setting dummy browser values
- changing any password without knowing the old one
- an IDOR vuln allowing you to act as any user and edit exam marks
For those interested in a beautiful study in security breaches, this is a must read (link below).
If there's any light at the end of the tunnel, it's that a 19yo who never went to college can do things 99% of top engineers couldn't figure out.

The Central Government is once again looting people by hiking petrol and diesel prices. Even as Brent crude prices fall globally, fuel prices are being pushed up - daylight robbery on common people.
The BJP’s usual trick continues: hold prices during elections, then empty people’s pockets once votes are over.
The UDF, which staged protests demanding tax cuts while in opposition, is now in power in Kerala. People are waiting to see whether they will practice what they preached - cut taxes and raise their voice against the Centre.

> Someone posts about wrong paper checking - he is pakistani
> Someone posts about Jaisalmer cows death - he is deep state agent
> Someone posts about on going petrol price hike - he is anti national
What’s going on? I have a strong feeling there is a cult out there trying to discredit everything and every-time you raise a question. For reasons unknown to me. But this is very concerning. How can every question is related to deep state pakistan etc.

Even though @TVKVijayHQ hasn’t met the press, his young new ministers are all handling the press well - Vignesh, Ramesh, Keerthana, Farves, Kamali etc and not let them set the narrative

People carefully avoiding any conversation about “corruption” while lamenting the party’s defeat is quite amusing. 👌
Still blaming Instagram reels as the primary reason for the failure is like losing a gold ring in the bedroom and searching for it in the living room. You’ll never find it that way.

@Munnaa They chose a CM here, imo :)
And they would have probably felt that even PTR was being demoted when he spoke out about the wrong things happening.
English

@DeepakVisva So, people thought and compared two parties (DMK and TVK) and voted for that Guy and not for PTR Because of Corruption PTR did🤣
And they even analysed MKS with VS Babu, and voted for the later. 90% of the Kolathur constituency people who voted for VS Babu didn't even know him
