People in a village in Manipur had to walk sometimes up to 2 days to reach a hospital. Villagers requested a road many times, but the government had ignored the demand for over 30 years. Then a newly appointed IAS officer, Armstrong Pame, promised to help and build a road. He asked the government for funds → No response. Instead of waiting on hope, he created a Facebook campaign and raised ~₹40 lakh through crowdfunding. Donations came from contributors across ~25 countries. He himself contributed ₹5 lakh from his own savings. He and the villagers themselves built a 100 km road in ~210 days. The road is named “People’s Road”. The government has crores for freebies, but no money for remote villages, because it is never urgent for them.

High time, corporates, organisations and government stops pretending all’s well for the sake of CSRs/fundings. This is how bad it is for the water bodies and soon, ditto the same thing will be said for our deemed forests; “ “UNTRACEABLE”😢

A final-year law student, Rishi Kumar from Tamil Nadu National Law University, refuses to delete his blog criticising the Supreme Court… despite pressure from his own university. Why? Because the administration allegedly received calls from advocates, judges, and others claiming the post harms the institution’s “reputation.” The blog titled “The Supreme Court of India Has No Spine” questioned the court’s decision to ban an NCERT textbook chapter on judicial corruption. But here’s the real issue: A law student is being told to silence himself… for expressing a legal opinion. His response? Clear and powerful: “My opinions are mine… you do not own my voice or my conscience.” He even said he’s ready to face disciplinary action rather than back down. This isn’t just about one blog. This is about academic freedom vs institutional pressure. If law students… the future of the judiciary are discouraged from questioning the system, then who exactly is allowed to question it? Criticism of institutions ≠ disrespect. Silencing criticism = weakening democracy.

🚨JUST IN: Italy becomes the first country to grant paid leave so workers can stay home and care for their sick or injured pet. How cool is this! 🤩

Please raise your voice against this broken system. A mother is still waiting for justice after losing her 23-year-old son, Sahil Dhaneshra, in Dwarka...killed by a minor’s reckless driving. Today it’s her son. Tomorrow it could be yours. Speak up.

US President Donald Trump posts on Truth Social, "...I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions"

Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck and making their way home. They traveled around 17 km together, led by a corgi across highways and fields, now safely back with their respective owners..🐶🐾🥺❤️

This the first thing you see as you get off the Haldwani Railway Station — a field full of trash, that’s your introduction to the foothills of Kumaon. As you enter its largest city, Almora, there isn’t a spot where you won’t find trash. Only the Army Cantt area is clean (last pic). It’s an absolute shame and I have not seen Uttarakhand in such a mess before. The nagar palikas simply don’t seem to be working — is it lack of funds? is it corruption? what exactly has turned the state into a total trash pile? BJP govt should take a hard look at this instead of celebrating their chaar saal bemisaal. Also what exactly has the Swachh Bharat Mission achieved apart from giving us irritating jingles.
