She bought a confirmed seat expecting a normal, safe journey. Instead, the trip turned uncomfortable and stressful. There was overcrowding, no space to move, difficulty breathing, and no easy access to basic facilities. Complaints were made, but nothing changed. When people pay for public transport, they deserve at least... show more

I prefer traveling in Third AC now , and not because of comfort, but because of safety concerns. Earlier, such harassment was mostly limited to Sleeper and General coaches, where groups of transgender individuals would often create uncomfortable situations for passengers. But now, the situation has worsened they are entering Third AC coaches as well and troubling people without hesitation. Passengers pay full fare expecting a safe and peaceful journey, not to be left dealing with harassment on their own. It’s the responsibility of Indian Railways to ensure proper security across all classes, not leave travelers at the mercy of such situations. Safety and dignity during travel shouldn’t be a luxury it’s a basic right.

Have Indian Railways Started Recruiting Goons Instead of TTEs? Authority is not a license to assault. A TTE attacking a passenger inside a reserved coach over a ticket issue is not ‘duty’ it’s abuse of power. Rules exist, yes. But so do laws, dignity, and basic human decency. If enforcement turns violent, the system itself needs punishment.

Tatkal ticket booking has become one of the biggest scams in India. We have the technology to send people to the Moon, but somehow our railway ticketing system can’t be fixed. I booked a Tatkal ticket when the seat was showing as available. Money was debited, but the ticket was not booked. No SMS, no clear confirmation, nothing. And the biggest question: Why did the booking fail when the seat was still showing as available? To make matters worse, the refund takes up to 7 days. What if someone has money for only one ticket? How are they supposed to book another ticket? Ministry of Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw Ministry of Railways IRCTC fix this broken system. Give passengers instant booking status and immediate refunds for failed transactions. The Lallantop News Pinch

There is no difference between a premium train and a local bus when some passengers think the entire coach belongs to them. Shouting, loud conversations, videos without earphones, and complete disregard for fellow passengers have become far too common. People pay extra for trains like Shatabdi expecting a comfortable and peaceful journey, not endless noise pollution. A train coach is a shared public space, not someone's drawing room. Basic civic sense should not be optional. Indian Railways must start imposing strict penalties on passengers who repeatedly disturb others and ruin the travel experience for everyone. Train: 12018 Dehradun–New Delhi Shatabdi Coach: C2 Ministry of Railways IRCTC RailwaySeva Premium fare should come with premium discipline.

Welcome to the “New India” of Indian Railways 🚂 Where ministers dream of bullet trains and luxury Vande Bharat photoshoots, but the common man is forced to travel sitting beside filthy train toilets because there’s no space left inside the coaches. This is not “development.” This is humiliation of ordinary passengers. People buy confirmed tickets, pay taxes, stand in endless queues, and still end up suffocating near washrooms like cattle. Overcrowding has become so normal that human dignity no longer matters to the system. Before spending thousands of crores on PR campaigns and VIP projects, fix the basic reality of Indian trains: • Overcrowded coaches • Unsafe travel • Poor sanitation • No accountability A country cannot become “world class” while its citizens are travelling inside toilets. 🚨

Just hopped off with Tim Stenovec & Carol Massar on Bloomberg. Lots of acronyms flying around with EIPP etc but the basic way to think about it is this is the industry’s Waymo moment. No one had any idea what those cars were when they arrived in cities, but they rolled out methodically and showed everyone they were safe/quiet/convenient/etc. Now they’re just a part of normal life. Air taxi flights will begin via eIPP later this year in a similar way (just a few, no passengers). Good chance to bring the public and cities along for the journey and build the muscle needed to operate at scale.

THIS IS HOW WOMAN DIE IN INDIA . In Rajnagar CHC, Seraikela-Kharsawan, Jharkhand, a pregnant Adivasi woman was made to deliver under mobile/torch light due to power outage and lack of basic facilities. There was no proper infrastructure or backup electricity in a government health centre. The woman and the newborn both died . President of India PMO India Ministry of Health Office of Chief Minister, Jharkhand @NCSTIndia this is not an isolated case, this is collapse of rural healthcare. Who is accountable?

[WATCH] As the ANC government we pride ourselves in developing a social security system which deals with the basic needs of the people. Such as access to water, electricity and housing, we went further and recognised that there are children who don’t have fathers to take care of them because they run away. So we created a grant to take care of young people. These are the basic needs of our people and we’ve created a solid social safety net for our people. #MbaksOnTheGround #VoteANC2026 #LetsBuildBetterCommunities

Space is a Jewish lie to hide God In America they just let people come to the logical conclusion: space travel = no Heaven above But in the USSR they were bolder and said space = no God Yet when the Jewish death grip loosened, Soviet Block cosmonauts admitted it was all a hoax, that the Earth is flat and that nobody has ever gone to "outerspace"

My promise to the people of Kentucky and the American public: If, for some reason, Mitch McConnell’s handlers bring him back to Capitol Hill, I will ask him cognitive questions every single day he comes to the Senate to vote. If he can’t answer basic questions, then we’ll know there is a serious problem here at Capitol Hill.

Happy National Space Day! 🇮🇳🚀 Today marks the anniversary of the successful Chandrayaan-3 mission in 2023—a moment that made every Indian proud and reminded the world of what India is capable of achieving. But a legacy is not just something we inherit; it is something we have a responsibility to carry forward. When I flew to space last year, it was not merely a technical or personal accomplishment. In many ways, it was the realisation of the dreams, aspirations and possibilities of an entire nation. I was fortunate to be the one representing India, but the journey belonged to all of us. National Space Day is therefore a celebration of both—the remarkable achievements of our past and the promise of what lies ahead. May we continue to dream bigger, explore further and create milestones that future generations will look back on with the same pride we feel today. The journey continues. #shux #space #shubhanshushukla #india #thesecondorbit

The White House is breathing a sigh of relief that there’s no answer on cokegate. They don’t want you to know whose coke it was, but we do. We’ll get to the truth, that I promise. They’ve been trying to just sweep this under the rug, just like they did when weed was found at the White House TWICE. But we’ve hit them with a freedom of information request and we we’ll get to the truth. That, I promise.

In Goa on March 29, what was supposed to be a fun parasailing ride suddenly turned scary when the cable snapped mid-air. For a few seconds, the person was just hanging there with no control. It could have gone very wrong, but somehow it didn’t. But this isn’t just about one incident. Adventure activities are increasing across India, but many times basic safety checks are ignored. Equipment may not be properly tested, and not every operator is fully trained. Rules do exist, but on ground, things don’t always happen the way they should. If something as basic as a cable can fail like this, how much can people really trust the safety of these activities?

If it is too narrow to give a cyclist at least 1.5m of space when passing then just wait and pass when it's safe. This impatient Audi driver overtook on a blind bend and was reported to the police who offered them a £90 safer driving course.

I recently travelled on an APSRTC bus after a long time, and this is the pathetic situation passengers are forced to face in the rain. Hello N Chandrababu Naidu & Lokesh Nara, nobody asked for free bus services in the state But when you charge ₹1,100+ for a ticket and still provide service like this, what exactly are passengers paying for? If APSRTC cannot even provide basic safety, comfort and maintenance, then shut it down and let private players operate. They may charge more, but at least passengers deserve a service that matches the price they pay. This is unacceptable.

Free bus travel is meant to empower women, not create a sense of entitlement over seats. At Bhalki bus stand, a video appears to show a woman grabbing a man’s collar and assaulting him during a dispute over a seat. Some seem to believe that if the ticket is free, the seat automatically belongs to them as well. Public transport should operate on courtesy and mutual respect, not aggression and intimidation. #Bhalki #PublicTransport #ShaktiScheme

This is a cover-up! Five Florida state lawmakers were denied entry to Alligator Alcatraz. They were told it was unsafe to enter. But Trump, DeSantis, and Kristi Noem toured it just last week—no problem. So why isn’t it safe for lawmakers to do their oversight jobs? That’s their right by law. And what about the safety of the migrants locked up in there?

How does the Indian government silence its citizens? A Tamil guy booked a fully reserved train ticket but couldn’t even board due to massive overcrowding. Instead of staying silent, he recorded the reality and shared it.Result? Indian Railways removed the video from India Reserved seat confirmed, but zero space. Daily struggle for millions, yet the focus is on removing videos instead of fixing overcrowding. Why silence the messenger instead of solving the problem?More trains? Better enforcement? Or just control the narrative?What do you think? #IndianRailways #TrainOvercrowding #CitizenVoice #RailwayProblems
