@ByRakeshSimha Sporadic vigilance raids don’t fix systemic corruption. They create fear, sometimes headlines, but rarely anything beyond that.

Odisha Vigilance officials recovered a staggering ₹4 crore in unaccounted cash from the residence of Debabrata Mohanty, a senior mines official, just hours after he was caught in a trap while accepting a bribe of ₹30,000. The recovery represents the highest-ever cash seizure resulting from a single sting in Odisha's history. The currency was found packed into trolley bags and hidden deep within almirahs at Mohanty's residence in Bhubaneswar. In addition to the primary cash stash, officials found ₹1.2 lakh in his office drawer, 130 grams of gold, and documents for a palatial double-storey building.

The Noble Peace Prize is nothing about peace. It's more about politics and power plays. However, it needs to be appreciated that despite Trump's strong insistence, the Noble committee did not give in to his desire for recognition and self promotion. #TheNobelPeacePrize

@GitaShlokas_ Jai Jagannath 🙏🙏🙏

Can you reply with “Jai Jagannath” ?

@Mamatadas Grudges are a waste of happiness. Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you can't change. Love deeply and forgive quickly. Life is too short to be unhappy.

The truth is simple. The United States was & still is the homeland of Indigenous peoples. Everyone else arrived through force, ambition, or survival. This must be told to younger generations, who may not understand the value of human life & the pain caused by violence. #AntiICE

Those who had arrived earlier often claimed legitimacy: “We came first.” This mindset built social hierarchies and shaped immigration laws that favored some while excluding others. Despite being a “nation of immigrants,” the U.S. has never welcomed all equally. #AntiICE

Africans were brought not as settlers but as enslaved labor, forced to build the wealth of a nation that denied their humanity. Their contributions were immense, yet their rights were denied for centuries. #AntiICE

The United States began as a collection of European colonies built on Indigenous lands. Long before settlers arrived, Native peoples lived with their own systems and societies. But colonizers claimed the land as their own, displacing those who were already here.   #AntiICE

@ShefVaidya This doesn't exclude NGOs but reposition them as partners under strict standards, with the govt taking full responsibility for funding, staffing, monitoring and child welfare. A child's safety is the state's duty. It's time to act with the seriousness this issue demands.

@ShefVaidya Every child deserves a safe & nurturing environment, whether at home, in an orphanage, or in a shelter.Many shelter homes, often run by NGOs, fail to provide the protection & care children need. Just as SHGs were integrated into the NRLM, shelter homes must be brought under govt.

Spreading love the Church way!!

@OdishaVigilance In the last one year, how many corrupt officials have been procecuted? What happened to their illegally ammassed wealth?

Contact Odisha Vigilance if you have any information or complaint of Bribery / Corruption by Government Servant or anyone on his behalf. You can reach us in many ways as 👇.

@soumyajitt Corruption in government offices is thriving due to weak institutions. In any case, only a small number of corrupt officials are ever caught. For a few days, the media becomes hyperactive. After that, the story fades. The officials return to their offices & corruption continues.

2019 OAS Topper Aswini Panda Caught Taking ₹15,000 Bribe for Land Conversion 2019 OAS topper Aswini Panda, currently serving as Bamra Tahsildar in Sambalpur district, was caught red-handed by the Vigilance Department while accepting a ₹15,000 bribe. The bribe was allegedly demanded for converting agricultural land into homestead land in a mutation case. Vigilance officials conducted a trap and seized the bribe amount from his possession. The incident has raised serious concerns about corruption in key revenue offices, particularly when senior officers with a merit background are found indulging in such malpractice. #Odisha

To my mind Listening is the deepest form of respect. Meditation is now prescribed as remedy for stress and depression I believe simplest form of Meditation is to learn to shut up and really hear someone. Currently we need more listeners and less speakers to curb noise pollution

@mariawirth1 You are not alone. Even one of the smartest minds #ElonMusk got fooled 😊 #TrumpTariff

I feel so stupid that i wanted #Trump to win in the elections because i trusted him that he will end the wars... what he said and what he does is 180 degrees apart. Very adharmic behavior. And very unfair towards India. #RussianOil #India

@TheVivekSinghal There is a difference between a leader and a dealer. A leader unites, inspires and focuses on the long term benefits. A dealer trades, negotiates and often looks for personal gain. #Modi vs #Trump #TrumpTariff

25% tariff plus additional 25% tariff. Total tariff on Indian goods is now stands 50%. Trump is working hard to lose 140 crore customers. He will be termed as one among the worst Presidents of America going forward in American History.

You can tariff our exports, but not our sovereignty. Raise your tariffs- we’ll raise our resolve, find better alternatives, and build self-reliance. 🇮🇳 India bows to none.

The ‘law of unintended consequences’ seems to be operating stealthily in the prevailing tariff war unleashed by the U.S. Two examples: The EU may appear to have accepted the evolving global tariff regime, responding with its own strategic adjustments. Yet the friction has nudged Europe to rethink its security dependence, leading to higher defence spending in France and Germany. In the process, Germany has moderated its fiscal orthodoxy, which may well catalyse a resurgence in Europe’s major economies. The world could gain a new engine for growth. In Canada, long hampered by notorious internal trade barriers between its provinces, steps are now being taken to dismantle them, bringing the country closer to a common market and enhancing economic resilience. Both these ‘unintended consequences’ could become long-term positives for global growth. Shouldn’t India too seize this moment to shape a virtuous consequence for itself? Just as the 1991 forex reserves crisis triggered liberalisation, can today’s global ‘Manthan’ over tariffs yield some ‘Amrit’ for us? Two strong steps we can take today are: 1. Radically Improve Ease of Doing Business —India must go beyond incremental reform and create a genuinely effective single-window clearance system for all investment proposals. —While states control many investment regulations, we can begin with a coalition of willing states aligning with a national single-window platform. —If we demonstrate speed, simplicity, and predictability, we can make India an irresistible destination for global capital in a world seeking trusted partners. 2. Unleash the Power of Tourism as a Forex Engine —Tourism is one of the most underexploited sources of foreign exchange and employment. —We need to dramatically accelerate visa processing, improve tourist facilitation, and build dedicated tourism corridors around existing hotspots, offering assured security, sanitation, and hygiene. —These corridors can serve as models of excellence, encouraging other regions to emulate and raise national standards. And a broader action agenda to build on these pillars: Liquidity & Support for MSMEs; Infrastructure Investment acceleration; A Manufacturing Push, via enhancement and expansion of the scope of PLI schemes; Rationalise import duties so that duty on manufacturing inputs are lowered and assist in improving our competitiveness. Let the unintended consequences we create be the most intentional and transformative ones of all. We cannot fault others for putting their nations first. But we should be moved to make our own nation greater than ever.

India is the one country the west can't defeat. #PiersMorgan #mustwatch #TrumpTariff youtu.be/AUGc__E8NgM?si…

Trump has mastered the art of making enemy out of friends. It seems his tariffs are motivated by a personal vendetta rather than any economic or strategic logic. #TrumpTariff
