Economic Survey does a disservice to transparency by suggesting a ministerial veto to deny information under RTI Act. Equally, it fails to record attacks on the law. freepressjournal.in/analysis/econo… @nikhilmkss @AnjaliB_ @CAGChennai @vsudarshan @Arappor @anticorruption @CMOTamilnadu

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.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese has said the world gave Israel a ‘licence to torture Palestinians’ as she presented her latest report to the Human Rights Council in Geneva. She criticised governments for allowing violations to continue with impunity.

Government running from answerability in Parliament- -No questions allowed on PMCARES, PMNRF & NDF -No response on whether govt used Pegasus spyware to target opposition leaders, activists & journalists. -Says no data available on deaths of manual scavengers, deaths due to oxygen shortage during COVID & attacks on whistle blowers. No data, No accountability, No democracy! Watch- youtube.com/watch?v=qr87bG…

All nine police personnel accused in the Sathankulam Jayaraj-Bennix custodial deaths case have been convicted.

A UP journalist has been booked over visuals of people queuing outside a gas agency. The visuals were posted the same day that a 70-year-old man in the district died of a suspected heart attack while waiting in another queue. @akanksha_kumar3 reports. newslaundry.com/2026/03/17/up-…

@rishibagree @venkat_fin9 Why does your squeaky clean government allow shady hospitals to function, even for arguments sake. Do they pay your party? You had 11 years+ but there's no control over private hospital costs, practices, insurance fraud. Your Minister told Parliament no study done by IRDAI!

@venkat_fin9 Only some leftists can do engagement farming on such sensitive issues. You don’t need any payment if you have health insurance. No decent hospital denies digital payment if you don’t have healthcare coverage. So why did you take your father to a shady hospital?

Your father is admitted to the ICU. The hospital says ₹50,000 deposit, cash only. No UPI, no card. You run to an ATM at midnight. This is India's healthcare system in 2025.

Dear Propagandist, your message shows just disconnected you are from reality. Not everyone has insurance, and even those who do are often forced to pay upfront, face delays, or get denied in emergencies. And let’s talk about the reality of insurance, claims getting rejected left and right, endless loopholes, and zero accountability. The government and IRDA has clearly failed to regulate these companies effectively. Blaming patients instead of questioning a broken system is exactly the problem. Healthcare is a necessity, not a privilege. So stop defending serious issues with propaganda.

@ANI How nicely the ruling elite lives in India!

#WATCH | Delhi: Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, Taranjit Singh Sandhu, arrives at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib to offer prayers.

@MtcChennai @RobertBaskerr Let the public know what disciplinary action was taken. Don't stop with a stock reply.

Hi, we sincerely regret the inconvenience caused. This is not in line with our service standards. We have shared this with the concerned depot officials for immediate enquiry and appropriate action against the crew. Necessary instructions will be reinforced to ensure such incidents do not recur.

Hi @MtcChennai Currently this bus which is mentioned as destination till Chennai airport Metro has stopped in Pallavaram itself. When so many ladies were waiting in Pallavaram to travel till metro. When asked to conductor he didn't respond and stopped the vehicle and moved out

IRDAI moves on making commercial health insurance compliant with regulations is no more than an eyewash. It is being dishonest about state of healthcare in India. freepressjournal.in/analysis/healt… @mohfw @WHO @thePHFI @mppchaudhary @RemaNagarajan @RahulGandhi @StevenBrill @wendellpotter

How dare you send me a notice @jnjhealthequity @kenvue that I am maligning the names of ORSL and ERZL for my own commercial benefits and for increasing the number of followers for my page, and that you will drag me to the court?! My stance is predated and vindicated by the FSSAI order of October 14th and 15th. Delhi High Court clearly refused to give a stay. Saying ERZL is the new form of ORSL is a clear violation of the ban order and is misleading those people who still believe ORSL is ORS. Your notice is being processed by our lawyers and they will deal with it. @fssaiindia @MoHFW_INDIA @JPNaddaoffice @narendramodi

To fight against the fascist government I have created this account. Please help me find my mutuals.

Pradeep Guruji Arrested. Pradeep Jotangiya of Satya Yog Foundation in Surat and his gang have been arrested with more than ₹2 crore worth of fake notes, including 42,000 fake ₹500 notes. They used ChatGPT to refine the design and create different serial numbers on the notes. The gang sold fake ₹1500 notes for ₹500. They had just started printing fake notes. This is their first deal of ₹66 lakh for delivering ₹2 crore fake notes. While delivering the notes from Surat to Ahmedabad they were arrested. Used SUV with Government of India and Ministry of AYUSH signs. These are the same people who give lectures on ethics and honesty.

@abantika77 @Nidhi @quillandcanvas Looking forward to reading this. One hopes the nexus between hospitals and insurers is exposed. Also the role played by Govt in allowing private equity to raid India's health sector, raising costs & pumping up bills with needless tests, treatments.

Realistic review of the MTC Premium Bus 1. Booked the ticket on @Chennai_One and made the payment via BHIM app. 20% instant cash back ✅ 2. Timing: Scheduled for 4:01 pm, the bus reached my stop by 4:31 pm. Had to wait for more than 30 minutes. ❌ 3. Live tracking never worked on the Chennai One app. Had no idea when the bus would arrive. ❌ 4. Dedicated Seats: Booked seat 1 only to find the ticket checker was sitting in my seat. Your ticket is not tagged to the bus. Anyone can board any of the premium buses. For example, if I have booked Seat 1 for the 4:01 pm bus and someone books Seat 1 for the 4:31 pm bus. 4:01 pm bus arrives by 4:31 pm and both of us will board the same bus and this will create confusion. ❌ 5. Free WiFi: Onboard WiFi was not working ❌ 6. Fewer priority stops: It was claimed that the premium bus will only stop at the places where someone has booked the ticket saving travel time. But the fact was that the bus stopped at most of the locations and people were asked to get down stating that it was only for the reserved. Why stop at the places where there’s no booking? Took so much time. ❌ 7. Reserved tickets only: People without the ticket reserved who had the Chennai One app were also picked up and were assisted on how to reserve the ticket by the Chennai One representative inside the bus. Again, it takes so much time. ❌ 8. Seats and AC: Too good and comfortable. ✅ 9. Staff: The driver and the Chennai One executive were courteous and helpful. ✅ 10. Bus Kneeling facility was not used at all stops. One senior citizen tripped and almost fell while boarding. ❌ Rating: 3/10 Meh Needs so much effort and training @MtcChennai Hope the experience improves. @prabhusean7
