A woman lost her cool and confronted Maharashtra’s Water Resources Minister Girish Mahajanon on Tuesday after being stuck in the traffic for long due to the BJP demonstrations in support of the women reservation bill that failed the Lok Sabha test last week.
In a video from the area, now gaining traction on social media, a woman is seen engaging in a heated interaction with the minister asking him to leave (along with the protesters) the site and speak at a maidan (open ground). “Get out of here,” she could be heard shouting.

@connectgurmeet Let Government pay the price for arrogance- not removing Capital Gain Tax on FII / NRE investments 😎😎Let them Issue Resurgent Bonds (USD ) with interest rate 8-9% .Most NRI’s will invest & not buy properties in Dubai.

Painful period for investors. Rupee approaching 95 to dollar. Primary reason being FPI outflows n now energy disruption. 2 years of relentless selling.Even bond markets not spared.
Need short term measures & long term reforms on getting FPI flows.
Expect some measures soon!

@AshwaniPaliwal9 @virsanghvi @IndiGo6E @MoCA_GoI It’s going to be the same across the board for certain industries. Adani and Ambani also won’t answer to the government. We’re essentially creating monopolies and duopolies in key sectors.
English
@virsanghvi @IndiGo6E I think more than the airline it is the fault of the @MoCA_GoI and regulatory agencies.
Airlines today have no fear of the government .
They know they can hold the nation to a ransom and still the government will bend in their knees.
The don't fear the government.

People keep complaining about @IndiGo6E ground handling so here’s my experience today at Khajuraho airport.
Three check in counters open & manned but two refuse to accept passengers. Every one is directed to one counter manned by a trainee.
As I am checking in I ask the counter supervisor why the other counters won’t accept passengers.
“They are only for fast forward.”
Me: I thought there was no fast forward any longer!
“It’s not on the site but we do have it”
Me: What do you get in fast forward?
“You get priority baggage handling and priority boarding.”
Me: If I had known I would have taken it.
“You can still take it.”
I hand over my credit card. He swipes it. As the luggage is being tagged I notice there is. no Fast Forward tag and ask about it.
“ We stopped doing priority baggage handling for Fast Forward. It only gives you priority check in. “
But I had already checked in. I wouldn’t have taken it if you
hadn’t told me about priority baggage handling .
“I never said priority baggage handling.”
Yes you did . I heard you.
“Okay at least you can
board any time you like.”
I ask for the manager. The supervisor insists he never said anything about baggage handling.
Manager: “I will not accept that my staff are lying.”
But you think I am lying?
He shrugs.
The sum of money is small &
the issue is minor. But given how much we have heard about the culture of lying in @indigo , firing one gora scapegoat may not be enough.
The rot has infected the culture

Just spoke to a friend in Dubai who went there for a 5-day pre-wedding shoot with family. 🤣😭
Bro is stuck since 12+ days now.
Trip cost = 3x more 💸
Flights unavailable.
Private jet = ₹2.5L pp to come back to India.
I asked, “Is it actually normal there or just social media acting?”
He said:
“If you post anything real → ₹20L fine + 1 year jail.”
Public transport? Running.
Yesterday, a missile exploded just 1 km from his place.
So no, it’s not normal.
Everyone is panicking.
They’re just too scared to show it.
Calm online. Chaos offline. 💀

@shanaka86 Utter garbage. I don’t think you are resident of this great country. We are resident of this country and our home. Don’t post such garbage without having actual evidence.

While 11,000 flights were cancelled and commercial airspace shut indefinitely, the ultra-wealthy drove ten-hour SUV convoys from Dubai to Riyadh and Muscat to board charter jets at $350,000 per seat to London.
Read that again.
The airports are cratered. The airspace is closed. The routes are NOTAMed through March. And the exit is a ten-hour drive through a warzone to a functioning runway in another country, available exclusively to those who can pay six figures for a seat on a Nextant out of Muscat at triple the normal rate.
Everyone else is stranded.
This is not a travel disruption story. This is the most expensive real-time stress test ever conducted on the Dubai economic model, and the results are coming in ugly.
Dubai’s economy is 88% expatriate. Its GDP is built on the implicit promise that this is the safest, most connected, most accessible hub in the region. That promise held for two decades. It shattered in 72 hours. Stock trading halted. Hotel no-eviction orders issued. Real estate transactions frozen, with 60 to 80% of deals on hold. Tourism revenues across the GCC totalling $120 billion per year now face structural repricing.
Here is the mechanism the market has not absorbed. The people boarding those $350,000 charters are not tourists. They are the capital. They are the family office principals, the fund managers, the UHNW residents whose presence underwrites Dubai’s entire financial ecosystem. When they leave, they do not just take their luggage. They take their deposits, their deal flow, their counterparty confidence, and their insurance on every asset denominated in the assumption that Dubai is permanent.
The question is no longer whether they left.
It is whether they come back.

Dubai just shut down. The busiest international airport on earth. Closed. Indefinitely. Dubai International and Al Maktoum International both suspended all operations on February 28 per official Dubai Airports statement. Over 280 flights canceled. 250 more delayed. The airspace that handles more international passengers than any hub on the planet went dark this morning because Iranian ballistic missiles were flying through it. Now read the airline list and understand the scale of what just broke. Emirates. Grounded. Etihad. Grounded. Qatar Airways. Suspended all flights to and from Doha after Qatari airspace closed. Air India. Every single flight to every destination in the entire Middle East. Suspended indefinitely. Turkish Airlines. Suspended flights to Bahrain, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Syria, Qatar, and the UAE until at least March 2. Lufthansa. Dubai suspended. Air France. Tel Aviv and Beirut suspended. Wizz Air. Israel, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Amman suspended until March 7. British Airways. Affected. Virgin Atlantic. Affected. Japan Airlines. Affected. Norwegian Air, LOT Polish, Scandinavian Airlines, Aegean, Iberia, Air Arabia, PIA, Saudia, Air Algerie. All affected. All grounded or rerouting. This is not a regional disruption. This is the global aviation network breaking at one of its most critical nodes. Dubai is not just an airport. It is the single largest connecting hub between Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Every flight from Mumbai to London, from Singapore to Frankfurt, from Nairobi to New York that routes through the Gulf is now either canceled, delayed, or burning extra fuel on thousand-mile detours around closed airspace. IndiGo just suspended flights to Almaty, Baku, Tashkent, and Tbilisi until March 28. Not March 2. March 28. A month of Central Asian connectivity erased because Iranian missiles crossed the flight paths. The cost is compounding by the hour. Rerouted flights burn more fuel when oil is spiking past 100 dollars a barrel because the same conflict that closed the airspace is threatening the strait that moves 21 million barrels a day. Airlines are paying surge prices for fuel to fly longer routes around a war zone that did not exist yesterday morning. Every hour the airspace stays closed, the losses multiply across carriers already operating on thin margins. And here is what nobody is calculating yet. Dubai’s economy runs on connectivity. Tourism. Trade. Finance. Logistics. All of it depends on DXB being open. The UAE just absorbed an act of war on its sovereign territory with a civilian killed in Abu Dhabi from missile debris. The country that built its entire economic model on being the safe, neutral, connected hub of the Middle East is now closed for business because the country it had no quarrel with fired missiles through its airspace. Iran did not just attack military bases this morning. Iran shut down the economic engine of the Gulf. That is a cost Tehran cannot afford to repay and the UAE will not forget.

People think Indians in Dubai will rush back to India because of the heightened Iran tensions.
Bro, your odds of getting hit by an Iranian missile in Dubai are still lower than:
1. Getting electrocuted by loose live wiring on an Indian street
2. Falling into an uncovered manhole
3. Getting crushed by a concrete slab from an under-construction site
4. Dying because the rabies vaccine you got after a stray dog bite turned out to be fake
India's daily civilian kill count from sheer infrastructure failure and municipal negligence would make most conflict zones feel safe.

Really? Does John Healey think Iran just accidentally fired ballistic missiles in that direction? This Labour government is totally rudderless.

#WATCH | Saharanpur, UP: On the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Congress MP Imran Masood says, "The world has lost a brave leader...History will remember him as a brave leader, one who, despite numerous restrictions, worked to build his country. The loss of such a man is certainly very painful. Neither Israel nor America has the courage to fight face-to-face. They are killing with technology. They don't have the courage to fight on the ground."

#WATCH | Ramban, J&K | On killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Shia Community Leader Syed Samar Kazmi says, "This is not the first time we have lost a leader, but we will not forget the death of our beloved leader. We will convey to our generations how America and Israel killed our leader by deception... A part of Muslims has always been on the path of the beloved leader and always said that we will always raise our voice for the oppressed... He was killed only because he raised his voice for the killings in Palestine while the world was silent..."
