Ruchika, when you first suggested deploying the army to combat waste burning, I found it extreme. I don’t think it extreme any longer. @PMOIndia

The fire returns. The smoke spreads.
For some, it seems business as usual- machines loading burnt, water-soaked waste onto trucks.
For everyone else, there is only bafflement: another fire, the same designated - MCG supervised site, and no visible sense of urgency to arrest the health hazard
Khandsa Khatta waste site, Gurugram - on fire again on 10 June 2026, after 200 fire tenders spent 4 days dousing the last blaze.
Where are the answers?

@CPCB_OFFICIAL @CAQM_India @PradeepIAS_HRji @usiias ji @pcmeenaIAS ji : MCG cannot stop air pollution and this carcinogen smoke directly fatally impacting residents and adding to DELHINCR emission load -perhaps indian defence services may be requested to deploy personnel to implement the law -safeguarding health of citizens 🙏

Brazil's flex-fuel success: 74.4% of ALL new light vehicle registrations in 2025 were flex-fuel. Brazil runs E27 as STANDARD pump fuel. India's standard is E20. India has 48 E85 pumps. Brazil built this over 50 years. India is copying the outcome without the foundation. That's not policy it's cosplay.

“तालाब गंदे इसलिए नहीं हुए कि लोग बुरे हो गए, बल्कि इसलिए हुए क्योंकि हम उनकी अहमियत भूल गए।”
जब तक तालाब हमारी रोज़मर्रा की ज़रूरत थे, वे पूजनीय थे। जैसे-जैसे नल का पानी और सबमर्सिबल आए, तालाबों से हमारा रिश्ता कमज़ोर पड़ता गया और कई जगह वे कूड़ा डालने की जगह बन गए।
इसीलिए हम गाँव-गाँव जाकर जल चौपाल आयोजित करते हैं। इन बैठकों में हम केवल तालाबों की सफाई की बात नहीं करते, बल्कि लोगों को याद दिलाते हैं कि तालाब हमारी संस्कृति, जल सुरक्षा, जैव विविधता और भविष्य का आधार हैं।
किसी भी तालाब का पुनर्जीवन मशीनों से नहीं, बल्कि समुदाय की भागीदारी और स्वामित्व की भावना से होता है।
हमारा तालाब, हमारी जिम्मेदारी।

Yesterday, I posted about my sibling’s petrol car getting stranded on the road due to a fuel pump failure. The company itself confirmed it was linked to a fuel blending issue related to ethanol.
But unfortunately, I had to delete the post because of immense pressure from higher authorities. For the first time in my life, I was forced to take down something purely out of concern for family safety and precautions.
The unfortunate truth is that whenever someone speaks up about ethanol-related issues, attempts are made to silence them. This may continue, but these problems won’t disappear and tomorrow it could be my own car stranded the same way.

Meet Kavita - she runs a self help group of several women in a village in Palampur Himachal Pradesh - they make different types of pickles, chutney etc
They have recently engaged with @HFNFoods initiative, where we have helped them improve their packing, labeling, pricing as well as now helping them sell it online & offline stores.
You can order amazing products from her and several such farmer groups at HFNFoods.com

This is Dhani Chowk in ward 21, Wazirabad, on main road in peak traffic hours.
Councillor - @soniayadavbjp

It’s gone from bad to worse in the Wazirabad area around this place. Dhani chowk on main road is in shambles. Green belts are encroached with furniture shops. Garbage on roads and stray cattle causing jams.
It used to be fine 2 years back but now it is in complete disarray with no solution from administration.

Imagine being stranded at 12:00 midnight with barely any battery, and Tata’s response is: “Oops, sorry you’re at a Tata EV charger we are from Tata motors team . One team member said he was busy with family and couldn’t talk. No customer care, no urgency, no real help.
Also, serious question how did you call me without me sharing my number? Isn’t that a privacy concern?
Huge thanks to @Xroaders_001 paaji for stepping in and helping us reach home. 🙏 Otherwise, we would’ve been stuck there for hours.
Never thought you could be left stranded just because charger software isn’t working. This isn’t a small glitch it directly impacts safety.
Reality check: You still can’t comfortably drive from Jaipur to Chandigarh in one go. Even something like a G-Wagon EV would need charging en route. Spending ₹3.5 crore on a car and still worrying about basic charging infrastructure is frustrating!
Tata EV, can you please help us urgently?
We’re stranded on the highway between Jaipur and Chandigarh. Your app isn’t working, and we’ve already tried 4–5 chargers along the way with no success.
Battery is down to 5%. What are we supposed to do sleep in the car now? We have no other option.
We need an immediate response. Waiting for your reply! 🙏🏻 @TataPower @Tataev

A fine morning on Gurgaon’s ultra-luxurious Golf Course Road.
No, this isn’t dust, it’s snow.
This area falls in Haryana, a state blessed with abundant greenery.
Morning dew on the roads is a common sight here, and the entire city often looks as if it’s wrapped in snowy clouds

How much fuel is #India burning every day just because of poor traffic management?
Bad signals, bottlenecks, illegal parking, bad diversions and weak enforcement are causing massive national loss.
Traffic management is not just a civic issue.
It is an economic reform.

Dear @letsblinkit, your Ambulance service is a lifesaver indeed. Jist this morning, a classmate of mine requested for an ambulance in Gurugram. It arrived in 4 minutes and his mom was in the emergencybward of a hospital within 20 minutes.
Both the paramedic attendants and the driver were topnotch and took excellent care of the patient.
After the formalities in the ER were done and the patient stabilized, her son went out to thank the ambulance guys, only to find out that they had already gone.
Two minutes later he got the scolding of his life from his wife for not giving them any token of thanks, especially since the ambulance service didn't charge anything. He had no idea and had just assumed that the charges would have been paid when his wife had booked the ambulance!
On that note, you may consider adding an option on your app for a token payment and perhaps a rating system for your ambulance crews after the job is completed.
They are a lifesaver indeed.

At a pub quiz in Glasgow, the final question to win £1000 pounds is, "Take That's first Album had a four word title. The first two words were, 'Take That', what were the second two?"
After a lengthy silence a wee Glesga man stands up & says, "Was it, ya bastard?"

The war effect starts at work. Sea freight and air freight up by 50%. Circular received from ministry of petroleum for stoppage of commercial gas supply. If this does not restart in four days we have to close down. It’s such an interconnected world. India has nothing to do with ongoing wars but over the last four years so many things have changed due to Ukraine Russia and now this

I’m completely stranded at Moscow airport… alone, helpless, and running out of hope.
No one from @makemytripcare or @etihad is answering my desperate messages.
Russia doesn’t accept Visa or Mastercard anymore.
I have ZERO cash left. Not even for food or water.
The Etihad ground staff is avoiding me more than my ex ever did — literally turning their faces away and telling me “just call customer care”… which has been busy for hours. I’m standing here like a beggar in my own nightmare.
I don’t know how I’m going to get home. I’m scared. I feel abandoned by the very companies I trusted with my journey. My family is waiting and I can’t even tell them I’m safe.
Please… if anyone from Etihad, MakeMyTrip, or even the Indian embassy sees this — HELP ME.
And if you’re reading this, just one RT could save me. I’m begging.

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.

🌍 Foreign Civil Servants Experience Gurugram’s Model of Good Governance 🇮🇳
A delegation of senior civil servants from Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso visited the Gurugram District Administration under a capacity-building programme organised by the National Centre for Good Governance, Government of India.
✔️ The delegation was welcomed by Deputy Commissioner Sh. Ajay Kumar, who presented Haryana’s people-centric governance framework—driven by transparency, accountability, and technology.
✔️ Key initiatives such as Parivar Pehchan Patra, Antyodaya Saral, digitisation of land records, women empowerment schemes, agricultural reforms, social security, healthcare expansion, skill development, and urban & rural infrastructure development were showcased during the interaction.
✔️ Senior officials briefed the delegation on traffic management, policing innovations, sub-divisional administration, and rural–urban development initiatives.
✔️ Delegates appreciated Gurugram’s transparent systems, digital processes, and efficient service delivery—calling it a strong example of modern, citizen-first governance.

Community note
Gurugram municipality has no idea about governance. The city is filled with dust , garbage , broken roads , cows and overflowing sewage. Dc gurugram only takes taxes from its citizens and business and gives nothing in return. It's the most incompetent authority.
