“We are VIPs, We Cannot Stand in Queues: KSCA Should Give 5 Tickets to Each MLA and Minister of Karnataka,” says Congress MLA Vijayananda Kashappanavar Bengaluru Congress MLA Vijayananda Kashappanavar has strongly criticized the Karnataka State Cricket Association (#KSCA) for denying tickets to legislators and ministers for the upcoming Indian Premier League (#IPL) matches starting March 28. Speaking to reporters, Kashappanavar said that despite availing government facilities such as security, KSCA has failed to show respect to elected representatives. “They are not issuing tickets to MLAs, ministers, or their families. Instead, they are asking people to book online. We all know how online booking works,it leads to black marketing. Tickets worth ₹5,000 are being sold for ₹35,000,” he alleged. The MLA demanded that at least five tickets be allotted to each legislator along with separate seating arrangements. “We are VIPs; we cannot stand in queues. Last time, we were made to sit in the general gallery with the public. This should not happen again,” he said, adding that the issue has been raised in the Assembly and taken up with the Speaker. Kashappanavar further revealed that the Deputy Chief Minister has assured legislators of resolving the matter by arranging tickets and ensuring proper seating. On the Home Minister’s meeting with KSCA, Kashappanavar dismissed claims of effective guidelines being issued. “There are no proper guidelines. KSCA has become too powerful because IPL matches are happening. They are collecting money and enjoying it. If this continues, we will fight against it,” he warned. @INCKarnataka @BJP4Karnataka @BCCI @IPL @RCBTweets

In a quiet corner in @MudumalaiTR lies a local solution to the #LPG crisis & helping stem the foxing issue of #Lantana an aggressive invasive weed chocking forests (occupies over 40% #tiger reserves) across #India. So here is what @tnforestdeptis doing, with help of trained & employed local tribals: Systematically remove the #lantana → reduce them to chips → transport to factory →pulverise to fine, uniform powder →solar dry →dry lantana compressed, binded w/o binders using only press & heat→cooled, cured, packaged. And voila, you have lantana #briquettes that provide highly efficient cooking fuel in grt demand in surrounding #teaestaes & schools. Essentially invasive weed → cooking fuel replacing firewood & restored #forests. The #Muddumalai mgt cannot keep up with the demand. #Circulareconomy #TNForest #lpgसंकट #ecosystem

@ChaloPmc @TamhiniGhat @mohol_murlidhar तुम्ही तोडलेल्या झाडांच्या थंड सावलीशिवाय या उकाड्यात कसे बसणार? निसर्ग संरक्षणासह विकास. पुणेकरांना निसर्गाशी एकरूप होणारा आणि सर्वप्रथम स्वच्छ नदीकिनारा हवा आहे.

#PeekOnGround: While the BJP govt in Delhi is reportedly planning to buy 2 luxury VVIP boats worth ₹6 crore to inspect the Yamuna, this is the condition of the river. Pink foam floats over the holy river, confirming the discharge of industrial dyes and waste against rules.
