@drsunita02 Yes, The system of issuing driving license should undergo overhaul. Then only, We can see the difference

With due respect Sir, it's not only the unauthorised stopping of the vehicles. What we need is educating the public about the driving rules, like it's done abroad (UK, UAE etc) Issuing driving license should be done strictly like abroad. There are other things that go wrong too on the ORR inadditon to parked vehicles. 1) Slow moving lorries as well as slow moving cars use the right two lanes. They don't even have the common sense to use the left 2 lanes. If a car going at the usual 100-120 kmh wants to overtake, they don't have any other option than to overtake from the left side. 2) People cut lanes without indicating. No one uses their indicators at all. 3) Headlights: Everyone uses fullbeam. And the newer cars have very bright headlights. How can one drive with such bright lights? Can something be done about this? 4) Some people drive in the opposite side on ORR. How can they do this?? This is dangerous. @SajjanarVC_IPS Sir, we need more stricter rules, we need educating the people. We need government to enforce these. Hope you can do something. Thanks

@runthusiast Yeah. The law is not strong enough. They would repeat the offence. We are gonna suffer. As you had solid evidence, let’s see how it goes

@dulivinay We filed an FIR. But our law is not strong enough to punish people for such offences.

A truck driver on his phone rear-ended our car (A Hyundai Tucson) on a NH44. My 4-year-old was in the car. We walked away. Barely! This isn’t just our story. This is every Indian highway, every single day. And nobody in power seems to care enough to fix it. Here’s what’s killing people on our national highways and what we demand changes: [LLMs have been used to for better phrasing] 📵 CELLPHONE DISTRACTION Phone use while driving = driving drunk. Same reaction time, same lane drift, same inability to brake. The fine is a joke — paid, forgotten, back on the phone. This needs criminal-level deterrence, not a challan. 🚛 TRUCKS IN THE FAST LANE Every highway trip, a truck crawling in the rightmost lane, forcing everyone to overtake dangerously from the left. Keeping left is LAW under the Motor Vehicles Act. Not a suggestion. Where is the enforcement? 🔀 LANE CHANGES WITHOUT INDICATORS No signal. No mirror check. Just a sudden swerve at speed. This causes side-impact crashes and pile-ups that nobody sees coming. Fine and suspend. No exceptions. ⛔ WRONG-SIDE DRIVING Tractors. Autos. Trucks. Even cars — driving on the wrong side of a 4-lane highway because turning around is “too far.” This is not a traffic violation. This is attempted murder. Head-on collisions at highway speeds are almost always fatal. 🚶 JAYWALKING ON HIGHWAYS Pedestrians crossing 6-lane highways on foot because there are no underpasses, no footbridges, no lighting. My anger isn’t at them. It’s at a system that collects toll at every plaza and still can’t build basic pedestrian infrastructure. Very common on ORR in Hyderabad. 🛠️ WORKERS ON LIVE LANES WITH ZERO PROTECTION Road repair / landscaping with no cones, no barriers, no advance warning signs, no reflective gear. Workers crouching in a live lane with vehicles flying past at 100 kmph. This is institutional recklessness with human lives. 🚚 UNFIT TRUCKS ON HIGHWAYS Overloaded. Bald tyres. Broken tail lights. No reflective tape. Invisible at night until it’s too late. Vehicle fitness certification is a rubber stamp. Bribes are cheaper than compliance. We need automated testing with zero human interface. 🌑 ZERO ENFORCEMENT AFTER DARK Every highway driver knows the truth - after dark, the rules don’t exist. No patrol. No cameras. No consequences. Highway patrol must be 24x7. Non-negotiable. ━━━━━━━━━━ What can save you: ✅ 5-star safety rated car: crumple zones held, cabin stayed intact ✅ Toddler car seat: IsoFix is better. ✅ Seatbelts - every passenger including rear seats ✅ A good 2-channel dashcam — rear footage is now our key evidence. Front-only would have been of little help. Before buying a car, check its safety ratings. Use a car seat. Belt up. Get a 2-channel dashcam. Thanks to @HyundaiIndia @Hyundai_Global for making a car which saved us. ━━━━━━━━━━ A special thank you to @AnantapurPolice for filing the FIR promptly and treating this with the seriousness it deserved. This is what accountability looks like. Also tagging @arun_bathula who has been doing some great work in #hyderabad to bring awareness and educate drivers in the city to thank him for his efforts in making the city roads safer. @nitin_gadkari @ncbn @AndhraPradeshCM @revanth_anumula @TelanganaCMO @NHAI_Official @MORTHIndia @APTrafficPolice @APPOLICE100 @TelanganaCOPs enough talk. Fix this. #RoadSafety #IndianHighways #DistractedDriving #PutThePhoneDown #HighwaySafety

@runthusiast @HYDTP @CYBTRAFFIC That idiot didn’t even turn and left. Filed FIR but police said that there are no CCTV cameras at the junction. @hydcitypolice @HYDTraffic . Such is the state of our traffic. I guess, we are never safe on our Indian roads

@runthusiast @HYDTP @CYBTRAFFIC On April 8th, Me & My wife passing through the green signal at DLF circle, Gachibowli. An idiot came across in wrong direction (cutting his red signal). I applied sudden brakes , we both fell off. I went through ACL knee surgery and had to take bed rest now

My observation: Summer results in an increase in two-wheelers driving on the wrong side. @HYDTP @CYBTRAFFIC While going to give my scooter for servicing, I noticed many two-wheelers driving on the wrong side of the road near the U-turn opposite Vantage Line Mall, Sun City. I don’t think issuing challans for a single day will work. Happy to collaborate on devising a solution that works without hindering traffic. #Hyderabad #RoadSafety #WrongSideDriving

@NalinisKitchen @XkrishnanR Then, Why don’t you want samosa s to be priced fairly at airports

@XkrishnanR Not just flyers, everyone in India pays tax indirectly. From biscuits and restaurant food to fuel, electricity, mobile bills, shopping, and services, taxes are included in almost everything we use daily.

Make the samosa for ₹100 at the airport. There is absolutely no need to sell samosas for ₹20 at airports. People who come to airports can easily afford to buy a samosa for ₹80-100. Most people who travel by flight are those who can afford it. Yes, sometimes poor or middle-class people may have to take a flight due to an emergency, but otherwise, most people prefer trains. ~2.5 crore people travel daily by train, while only about 5 lakh people travel by air. So the government seems more focused on those 5 lakh people, but what about the people who are complaining about low-quality food every day in trains? First, improve the quality of food for train passengers.

He could have easily switched to another job. We need to teach our kids the life skills first. RIP Saurabh!

@Ravisutanjani Yes. Every government department should be accountable!!

🚨 Indian Railways Told To Pay ₹1.3 Lakh To Passenger Who Missed Flight Due To Late Train He Kept a Buffer Time of Nearly 4 Hours But The Train was Delayed By 7 Hours Good Move, Railways Need To Be Accountable

@svembu Yes. Demand more from the “Indians” only. You could have put 10 pointers to put for government to incentivise how to they could bring back taken. But you never choose that

Open letter to Indians in America. -- Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat: Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way. Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned. You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict. Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect. Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself. As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal. Respectfully Sridhar Vembu

@NalinisKitchen and Nalini tweeting it from city!

If you are an IT engineer and your company allows remote work, leave this concrete jungle. Sell your flat and use that money to build a nice home in your village. Live a simple life, keep a cow, grow your own food on a small piece of land, and enjoy fresh and chemical free foods. Enjoy clean air instead of traffic and noise. City life is overrated. It may not be possible for everyone, but if you get the chance, it is worth it.

Why your toll free number 1950 doesn’t work? @ECISVEEP

@saaiyer India only works when someone watches!!

This is hilarious 😂. 3 months no resolve And in 48 hours of the tweet going viral, the thief is caught!

Me & My Wife met with an accident when on the way to office. Guess, how it happened. I am passing through green signal & a random biker came in front of me bypassing his red signal. 0% fault 100% punishment for us. @talk2anuradha

There are many wrong side driving cases happening in the city @HYDTraffic @talk2a

@NalinisKitchen @MarketAvenues How much you are earning per month? @NalinisKitchen

@MarketAvenues Even a software engineer with 10 years of experience would not earn this much.

She is earning ₹97,35,600 monthly.

@ANI @grok What job he would get for 700th rank?

#WATCH | Chennai, Tamil Nadu: Sabareeswaran, son of a power loom weaver, cleared the UPSC exam this year in his 8th attempt. Sharing his journey, he says, "...This is my 8th attempt, and this year, I cleared the exam with an All India Rank of 700. My father is a power loom weaver, and my mother is a homemaker. With their hard work, hope, perseverance, and my own efforts, everything bore fruit in the end... I had a lot of knowledge gaps and faced many problems along the way. Slowly, I worked to improve myself, both in terms of knowledge and personality... Every time I cleared the prelims, I failed in the mains. Last year, I even appeared for the interview, but I missed it by 2 marks. During that time, my mom and dad motivated me a lot. They told me not to lose my confidence and to give one more attempt. They promised that next year, we would celebrate our success. This time, my mom became a true source of inspiration for me, and I’m so happy for them..." (11.03)

@BaluGorade @grok But is the OPS came effective back?

Central Govt stopped the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) for most employees after 2004 (shift to NPS). Most states followed the same. But three groups still get pension: - Armed Forces - Supreme & High Court Judges - MPs and MLAs How do you see it?

@nziokamul1 @grok Is it real?

When Singapore decided to move forward as a country, they started killing corrupt government officials.

@rightwingchora @grok Is the above true?

He Mandatory hijab and dress code. He lowered the marriageable age for girls to 9 years. Women lost the right to initiate divorce. After divorce, only the father has the right to custody of the child. woman's testimony in court was valued at half that of a man's. Cosmetics and makeup were banned. Limited educational rights for girls. Rahul Gandhi followers are crying for him!

@grok @kmr_dilip If it is true, then if the women percentage is 0, then how come men percentage and overall percentage is not same?

Yes, the chart is broadly correct. WHO-modeled estimates and sources like GATS/NFHS show smoking prevalence (current smoked tobacco, ages 15+) dropped from ~15-20% in 2000 (men ~22-32%, women ~5-7%) to ~9% by 2024-25 (men ~16-17%, women ~1%). That's a 40-55% relative decline overall, driven by policy, awareness, and culture shifts. Minor variations exist by exact model (point vs bounds), but the trend holds.

Smoking in India has quietly declined over the last 25 years. More than 50% overall drop. India has many health challenges but this is one example where long term pressure, policy & culture change worked.
