A billionaire walked into a five-star hotel and asked for the cheapest room they had. The receptionist blinked, confused. “Sir, our presidential suite has a full city view…”

Recovery agents? Forget it. These are street goons in formal dress. In Pune, a customer was brutally assaulted in the middle of the road over credit card dues — right in front of his wife. If finance companies use thugs for recovery, they deserve criminal action, not business licenses. #RecoveryMafia #CreditCard #Pune @CPPuneCity

@nnatuTOI @MMRDAOfficial MMRDA engineers are quite famous for creating engineering marvels like Mira Bhayandar bridge. Thinking about poor creatures like pedestrians is not their job. Their mandate is altogether different.

When a #metro station exit opens into a pillar! @MMRDAOfficial, are pedestrians supposed to fly over this structure to get on to the pavement after exiting Goregaon East metro station?

@Dwalsepatil @ashish_jadhao Today I saw this beauty while returning from jogging.

काल मुंबईतील जिमखान्यात व्यायामासाठी गेलो असताना चालता चालता उभ्या असलेल्या एका जुन्या Fiat गाडीवर माझं लक्ष गेलं. बारकाईने पाहिलं असता कळलं की ती गाडी 1958 साली बनवलेली आहे… आणि आजही, तब्बल 68 वर्षांनंतर, ती अत्यंत उत्तम स्थितीत सेवेत आहे! एखादी गोष्ट योग्य प्रकारे जपली, व्यवस्थित मेंटेन ठेवली, तर ती कित्येक वर्ष उत्तम चालू राहू शकते, याचं हे जिवंत उदाहरण आहे. त्या गाडीच्या मालकाने केलेली जपणूक आणि काळजी खरंच प्रेरणादायी आहे. हाच विचार राजकारण आणि समाजकारणालाही लागू होतो. जसं 68 वर्षं जुनी गाडी आजही सक्षमपणे चालू राहू शकते, तसंच एखादी व्यक्ती जर आपल्या विचारांची, मूल्यांची आणि कामाची जपणूक करत राहिली, तर वय काहीही असो, ती व्यक्ती तितक्याच जोमाने, आत्मीयतेने आणि ताकदीने समाजासाठी काम करत राहू शकते. कारण सातत्य, शिस्त आणि जपलेली मूल्यं यांवरच दीर्घकाळ टिकणारं आणि प्रभावी कार्य उभं राहतं.

@ak420rara @rajtoday All previous DRMs—and even current DRMs in other divisions—regularly engage with the media. Why is @drmmumbaicr consistently not responding to queries related to his division? Public accountability isn’t optional—doesn’t he owe answers to the people? @AshwiniVaishnaw @GM_CRly

@rajtoday CR has a CPRO. Let him do his job. Why DRM should engage with press?

Silence for a year now. Central Railway Mumbai Divisional Railway Manager Hiresh Mina has boycotted the media for over a year now. He has not been speaking to journalists at all despite multiple attempts at all levels. Occupying one of the most critical public-facing roles in a city where the suburban railway network is the lifeline, the absence of any media engagement raises serious questions. The DRM is the administrative head of the division—and is accountable to millions of daily commuters who rely on transparent communication. He has been meeting activists and politicians but has effectively kept the media away for over a year now since he took charge. In a metropolis like Mumbai, where railways are deeply embedded in everyday life, such sustained silence from the top undermines public trust. Heading the railways in a city like Mumbai and not speaking to the media reflects a worrying shift in public accountability. Can a person heading the system that moves millions daily afford to remain this disconnected? Appeal to him to get along and speak

In Kozhikode, Kerala, a brave elderly woman firmly stopped a scooty rider from using the footpath and directed him back onto the road. Her strong civic spirit and courage truly deserve praise.

Navi Mumbai International Airport (#NMIA) began operations today with first commercial flight—IndiGo 6E460 from Bengaluru—welcomed by a water cannon salute. The first departure to Hyderabad followed soon after, marking a major boost to MMR’s air connectivity. #marrychristmas

A leopard entered a Bhayandar residential building, injuring six people. Forest department and NGO teams rushed to the site to rescue the trapped animal safely. Authorities urged residents to stay away and avoid provoking the leopard, while rescue teams, including wildlife experts, worked to safely contain the animal inside the housing society.

Worli Traffic Police of @MTPHereToHelp have seized car of dealer Faiz Adenwala for alleged #overspeeding on the #BWSL in #Mumbai after a viral #Instagram video showed the vehicle clocking 250+ kmph. Action follows zero tolerance for reckless driving.#RoadSafety #MumbaiTraffic

Wow, truly world class! Thanks @MumbaiMetro3 & @mybmc for creating such a “pedestrian-friendly” footpath that actually ensures pedestrians can’t walk easily. Stellar planning. Loved this signboards first policy. Must be replicated all over Mumbai. @Dev_Fadnavis @mieknathshinde

Miniature emergency exit!!No surprise sleeper coach buses prove running coffins in case of fires or other emergencies. How RTO register such buses & other enforcement authorities too do not take any action? @nitin_gadkari @MORTHIndia

@drmmumbaicr @rajtoday I guess CPRO was absent in the meeting with passenger activists in your sprawling office, so you could have given us better perspective on the issue and so we were there...We didn't know you follow verbal orders of former GM, even after his retirement. @GM_CRly

@rajtoday The CPRO office continuously interacted with media persons and updated information in real-time on the day of the protest as well as the following day. Continuous updates regarding the incident were also shared with media persons and all relevant authorities.

Not accountable to the city? Lordships of the kingdom. Central Railway General Manager Vijay Kumar's rude security guards slamming the door on journalists at CSMT when they went to meet him for a comment on the mass chaos & deaths on Central Railway on Thursday. Mumbai Divisional Railway Manager Hiresh Mina too refused to meet journalists, after making them wait. CSMT HQ offices had become a fortress today Whom are they answerable to @AshwiniVaishnaw ji ? #Mumbai #MumbaiRailway @RailMinIndia @RavneetBittu @VSOMANNA_BJP

Same @GM_CRly who rushed to hold a Diwali press conference on @RailMinIndia’s directive after 2 died under a Bihar-bound train in Nashik, is refusing to meet media, when 5 people hit by a suburban train in #Mumbai. Accountability isn’t a festival offer. It can’t be selective.
