DELHI: PROMISED DOUBLE ENGINE. GOT DOUBLE TROUBLE. REPORTER: Centre BJP. Delhi BJP. Mayor BJP. Councillor BJP. MLA BJP. MP BJP. RESIDENT: My 9-month-old baby got stomach infection. Doctor said change the water. REPORTER: This is Delhi Jal Board water. This is Bisleri. RESIDENT: RO also failed. We are buying water to drink, cook and wash the child. A little girl brings a bottle of dirty water: “Uncle, show this on TV.”

I'm telling this again: My hunch is Air India & Indigo are being run down by the GLISCO-DS using insiders and other sabotage. It's time India takes action. First step must be to make sure the CEO and board are Indian patriots. Not foreigners and Indians with foreign interests. At a time when India's aviation sector must be growing and Indian carriers becoming top international carriers bringing revenue to India, we are seeing the reverse happening. So this rout of AI doesn't seem organic. There's no way a company like TATA can't run an airline in partnership with Singapore Airlines to at least do as well as an Ethihad or Malaysian, if not Emirates and Qatar. This is unacceptable.

DRDO JUST SENT A MESSAGE TO THE WORLD. INDIA'S "IRON" DOME GETS AN UPGRADE. In 24 hours, India successfully tested a multi-layered ballistic missile defence shield capable of intercepting threats up to ICBM-class missiles and conducted the maiden flight test of the Naval Anti-Ship Missile (Medium Range). This represents a major leap in India's ability to detect, track and destroy missile threats across domains ORIGINAL INPUT: Manoj Gupta

One year since Air India Flight 171 crash, and this photo still haunts. Doctor couple. Husband in the UK, wife in India, three kids. After six years, he finally got approval to bring his family to the UK permanently. Bags packed, flight boarded, a new life awaited. If only...

🇮🇳🎯 Indian shooting has lost one of its greatest architects. Jaspal Rana is no more. At just 49 years of age, the Arjuna Awardee, Padma Shri recipient, and Dronacharya Award winner leaves behind a legacy that few athletes in Indian sport can match. For an entire generation, Jaspal Rana wasn't just a shooter. He was Indian shooting. Between the 1990s and 2000s, he dominated national and international competitions with a level of consistency that made him one of the most decorated shooters the country had ever produced. 🏅 15 Commonwealth Games medals 🏅 Multiple Asian Games medals 🏅 Countless international podium finishes But medals tell only half the story. The greater chapter of his life began after he stepped away from competition. Instead of keeping his knowledge to himself, he chose to build the future of Indian shooting. As a coach and mentor, he helped shape a new generation of champions. Names like Manu Bhaker, Saurabh Chaudhary, and Anish Bhanwala carry a part of his legacy. When Manu Bhaker made history at the Paris Olympics, the influence of Jaspal Rana was present in every shot, every victory, and every moment on that podium. Even in recent days, he remained committed to the sport he loved, accompanying the Indian team at the ISSF World Cup in Munich. Then, suddenly, the sporting world received news that no one was prepared for. A champion had fallen silent. Some athletes win medals. Some coaches build champions. Jaspal Rana did both. His impact will continue to echo through every young shooter who picks up a pistol believing they too can represent India. The man may be gone. But his legacy will continue to take aim at greatness for generations to come. Rest in peace, legend. 🕊️🇮🇳🎯 #JaspalRana #IndianShooting #ManuBhaker #SaurabhChaudhary #AnishBhanwala #IndiaProud #ShootingIndia #SportsLegend #RIPJaspalRana #IndianSports 🇮🇳🎯🕊️

Sejal Pawar thriving in 3rd year MBBS while running a full-time reel-making drama on Insta proves that Indian MBBS standards have utterly collapsed. She’s a professional influencer first, medical student second. Real MBBS means brutal duties, ward crashes, pathology grinds and rigorous studies …not curating Insta content 24/7. If she’s acing it like this, then obviously exams are diluted, clinical postings are fake and faculty are either complicit or useless… half baked doctors. Standards are dead. So plz take care of your health.
