@runthusiast Glad you are safe

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

@effucktivehumor Give him the right treatment so that he learns his lesson.

Meet 41 YO Narsimha Yadav, National Coordinator of Indian Youth Congress, The mastermind behind naked protest against India AI Summit. When Police detained him, he said, “I came here from Hyderabad on flight using my own money and gave these protesters ₹15K from my own pocket for the protest. I got beaten the most.” He also tried calling a senior female Congress spokesperson for help, but she cut the call saying, “You’re on your own now”. Congress distanced itself from him.

@rameshpandeyifs @paragnigam09 Sir, What’s the reason for this movement. It Will help us understand better about conservation.

Another milestone towards active wildlife management in Madhya Pradesh. 19 Gaurs (Indian Bison) were captured by chemical immobilisation and translocated from Satpura Tiger Reserve to Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in last three days. Great role of @paragnigam09 in getting it done with the help of team MP Forest Deptt.

@mskamat @JapanAmbIndia It shows authorities are doing their job and doing right things .

@JapanAmbIndia FSSAI and State FDA teams have conducted the highest number of raids across biryani houses in Telangana/Hyderabad. They are infamous for poor hygiene and food quality. #BonAppétit

Enjoyed authentic Hyderabadi biryani during visit to Telangana! Amazed by its rich spices and bold flavors — “truly addictive!”😄

@thekaipullai Brilliant Post . Point to ponder. Unfortunately the powers that be . Do they really care

A lot of people ask why so many Indians run abroad the first chance they get? Why some states have temples dedicated to foreign country visas? Why some people are so desperate to get away that they even risk death by drowning or freezing to illegally enter other countries? Why are Indians so desperate to immigrate? Because in the countries these people usually move to, they value life. They value people. They value you. Unfortunately, that particular concept is virtually unheard of in India. Here, lives are as important as money is to a sacrificial lamb. Because In India: The government doesn’t give a damn about you. The judiciary thinks you don’t even exist. People, in general, treat others like a piece of crap. And if you treat someone nicely, chances are they’ll backstab you at the first opportunity. Most of us have our souls and self-confidence destroyed, respawned, and then destroyed again on a daily basis. We get treated worse than a car in a Rohit Shetty movie. So why would anyone stay? In India A two-bit clerk in an obscure municipal department can make your life miserable. Any random ticket giver or clerk can abuse you. A part-time watchman outside a private building treats you like a criminal. Store workers treat you like a thief. Everyone treats you like a shirker. Your life is essentially a never-ending hurdles race that lasts for 70 years, if you make it that far that is. So why would anyone stay? In India You risk your life every single time you step out of the house. You can die when an illegal concrete slab, which was permitted by a corrupt babu, falls on you. You can drown in a sewage tunnel because some random bozo has stolen the manhole cover. You can burn to death in an illegally modified bus that the corrupt RTO has permitted to operate. You can be run over by a drunken idiot who’s been given a license by that same RTO. You can be crushed to death in a stampede caused by the incompetence of the police, who can’t handle a crowd. You can die after consuming poison labelled as medicine because the babu who was supposed to prevent it took a bribe and looked the other way. You can fall to death from a train because the railway authorities, after taking lakhs of crores in the name of safety, have blown it all away on "other things". At any point in time, you can get impaled, burned to death, crushed, fall off a cliff, or be killed by a guy with a sword, sometimes all of the above. Here, life is like the game Prince of Persia, except, unlike in the game, you don’t get three lives, nor can you restart. Once you are dead, you are dead. So why would anyone stay? And then comes the worst part. In India, Nobody is held accountable. Nobody faces consequences. Nobody gets punished. There’s nobody you can complain to — and where you miraculously can, nobody listens. People whose incompetence caused your death get promoted. Some even run important departments that enable them to kill more people. Every second of your life here is a herculean effort against the system, the process and the people. However, Hercules had 12 labours in total. In India, you face 12 labours everyday So why would anyone stay? Therefore, when someone actually gets a chance to get out, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they take it with both hands. P.S.: In the last six months, 22 children died because of fake medicine, 40 people were burned to death in illegally modified buses and 51 people died in stampedes. Those were 113 easily preventable deaths. Deaths mind you. DEATHS 113 innocent Indian citizens lost their lives. What happened after that? How many government officials were arrested? How many were punished? How many were sacked? What were the actions taken? How quickly we forgot everyone? The answers to these questions will tell you why many people don’t want to stay in India anymore.

@GabbbarSingh Your view on Tik Tok is spot on. I think we should open that in 🇮🇳. Hope the govt starts thinking about it.

@Tej_AnanthKumar Govt should ban serving hot liquids in paper cup in the interest of public health.

Along with your water bottle, carry your own cup to avoid drinking tea or coffee in paper cups. Do you know why? A hot beverage left in a paper cup for just 15 minutes can release up to 25,000 microplastic particles. — Courtesy: IIT Kharagpur

@MumbaiPolice @IdiotsRoads Thank U. Pls take action against them

@IdiotsRoads We have followed you. Please share your contact details in DM.

What is happening to Mumbai? @MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice @DGPMaharashtra A simple drive outside one's home can turn into a potentially dangerous brawl with anti social elements. Pls see the video. I am driving at a very modest speed, dead straight with zero lane changes. 2 helmetless guys on a bike (MH01DN5218 Suzuki Burgman Street) first look like they are turning right, then last minute swerve left onto the road without checking their mirror or indicating. I am meanwhile even honking much before I pass. Further down the road they shout abuses, block my car and the pillion gets down to attack me. He seemed to reach into his pocket. Maybe had a knife or blade, I dont know. Didnt want to wait to find out. I moved away. Is this how Mumbaikars have to live? Broad daylight attack? LOCATION : Exactly outside LODHA EVOQ, NEW CUFFE PARADE, WADALA EAST @CMOMaharashtra @richapintoi @TOIMumbai @MTPHereToHelp @mumbaimatterz @AntophillPS
