Brand Awareness

Bihar Police arrested Manish Gupta for impersonating an IAS officer and an undercover agent for NSA Ajit Doval. As per reports, police seized ₹100 crore worth of property, 31 liters of imported alcohol, a driverless Tesla, and much more. Business model was simple: take bribe from people by posing as an IAS officer to get administrative work done, and then use a portion of that money to bribe lower-level bureaucracy to complete the job while keeping a hefty cut for himself. Things were going smoothly until a jealous person complained. If a fake one can amass hundreds of crores in property so quickly, just imagine the potential a real one has!

Thousands of quintals of paddy are rotting under the open sky at a govt facility in Panna, Madhya Pradesh. Why do they buy so much if they don't have the proper facilities or the work ethic to store it? In a country where many are still dependent on the govt for food, wasting foodgrains like this is criminal!

Ajeet Bariya, 21, a resident of Mandla, Madhya Pradesh, developed severe breathing difficulties. His father called the State Govt’s 108 helpline, explained his son's condition, and specifically requested oxygen support. Although the ambulance arrived an hour later, the attendants refused to give oxygen without a doctor’s prescription. Upon arriving at the nearest govt hospital, the attending doctor reprimanded the ambulance staff for their negligence, ordered them to administer oxygen immediately, and referred Ajeet to the district hospital. While the staff finally administered oxygen for the transfer, the supply ran out halfway to the hospital, and Ajeet died gasping for breath. Videos of his distraught family weeping at the district hospital have since surfaced online; one of them shows Ajeet struggling for air in the ambulance, though it is too sensitive to share. Most state-funded ambulance services function like this. They operate as if they are merely transport vehicles rather than the first link in the chain of emergency medical care. Ambulances often arrive late, staff frequently lack emergency medical training, and life-saving equipment is missing, outdated, non-functional, or poorly maintained. There are no clearly enforced SOPs, little accountability, inadequate supervision, and almost no meaningful quality audits.
