Help us. We are facing a severe shortage of blood and blood products at @TataMemorial Please come forward to donate blood. If anybody your housing societies can arrange larger blood donation camps, we can organize them on site. Please DM me if this is possible, and help amplify this call. Your selfless gesture can help us continue services as usual at the hospital. Grateful for your help

Adani has made a mess of the #Mumbaiairport! Stinking washrooms, pranaam meet and greet people creating nuisance at exit from the plane and paid cabbies manifold beeping and creating noise pollution. @CSMIA_Official

For past 3 days, this citizen has sent videos and requested @MumbaiPolice to act on aerial fireworks and firecrackers in a silence zone but no response from the police.
Deafening fireworks & rockets are again burst outside Criticare Hospital. Police vehicles are passing by but not stopping them. It’s 10.20 now. @VBNagarPS @MumbaiPolice why are you not lodging FIR? Both SRA societies are bursting non stop. @mashrujeet

I got a visa to India and was supposed to leave this morning to attend the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad. I had been invited as a panelist and speaker on the future of media and press freedom. But «orders from above» in the Ministry of Home Affairs have cancelled my visa. Here is my message for @AmitShah

These popular Davidoff coffee candies are fake. I investigated the packaging, spoke to retailers and contacted Davidoff Café directly. The brand confirmed that these candies are unlicensed and unauthorised. Here's what I found. A thread.

I am disappointed with @narendramodi ji. Just one call from him to not burst crackers would've reduced it by 50%. Its two days after Diwali, and this choking and deafening scare is still not over.

This rare Greater Adjutant Stork (Hargila) died in Guwahati tonight, after being frightened by the deafening explosions of Diwali firecrackers. While we are celebrating Diwali with fireworks and crackers, this rare Greater Adjutant Stork (Hargila) flew around in panic, collided with an electric wire and died. Does this mean nothing to us? And if I raise this concern, will I be labelled anti-Hindu? Is celebrating a festival more important than protecting our precious wildlife? @StorkSister @Mrinal_MLA #Hargila #GreaterAdjutantStork #SaveWildlife #Assam #Guwahati #NortheastIndia #WildlifeConservation #India #EcoFriendlyDiwali #ProtectBiodiversity

Firecrackers in Kedarnath Dham? In the high himalayas? Are you out of your mind? These tourists will NEVER understand what eco sensitive zone means. What a shrine means. What peace and serenity means. And authorities? Acting like SILENT SPECTATORS as usual.

India threw me and several Ukrainians in prison for over six months. This was part of Russia's war against Ukraine. I will reveal shocking details about this story over the next few months in both posts and media interviews.

AQI 'Manipulation' Row | TIMES NOW Investigation Findings - 'No hourly readings across 52 monitoring stations' - 'Large-scale blackout on Diwali night' - 'Only 7 of 59 stations reported proper data' - 'All 59 stations were fully functional at 8 PM on Nov 8' - 'Data blackout from 9 PM on Nov 8 to 6 AM on Nov 9' - 'Data stopped after pollution levels approached 1,000'

There has to be some official word and action from the police and administration on the firecracker rockets flying randomly into people’s homes and setting things on fire. Cities like Mumbai and Thane have seen some horrible incidents over the past 2 days.

I did not know that India's official Air Quality Index (AQI) managed by government agencies like the Central Pollution Control Board is capped at a maximum reading of 500. Which means that anything over 500 will just register at 500, whether it is 501 or 2052.

The PM, HM, NSA, all BJP CMs, all BJP MPs and MLAs are completely totally silent on the murder of environment due to firecrackers on Diwali night, across many cities and metros of India. AQI > 1000 at countless places already. These chaps have left crores and crores of Indians to suffer and have chosen to dissociate themselves from the basic responsibility of clean air and public health. They are silent and in their own air-purified world. Safe. "Mere liye mare kya? Jo uchit samjho woh karo."

This country vs the rest of the world. AQI right now. Never seen a country where people voluntarily bring on their own deaths and suffering with cheers and festivities. Amazing. We are a joke. We are beyond gone. Such a shame I was born here
