Impact is what we journalists live for. After exposing exploitation of #MigrantsOnTheRoad, Maha govt decides to pay for Shramik trains from CM’s relief fund. Home Minister told me “Migrants dont have to travel on foot or trucks anymore. We’re running more trains & buses for free” Image
Reposting stories I did to put pressure on govt to run free buses & trains for migrants from Mumbai who paid 670-765 to reach their homes by Shramik trains. Happy to announce that migrants from Maharashtra dont have to spend a penny now as charges will be taken care by the state ImageImageImage
Home Min Anil Deshmukh also told me “Frequency of free Shramik trains & buses from Maharashtra will be increased so that migrants don’t have to resort to other means & they reach home safely.”
I hope this decision puts an end to the miseries & exploitation of #MigrantsOnTheRoad ImageImageImageImage

3 incidents I covered where men in UNIFORM went beyond law to commit CRIMES. What action have they faced so far? NOTHING. ZILCH. ZERO. Coz victims weren't Ranauts

1 Sexual assault of Adivasis
2 Forced cremation in Hathras
3 Handing female victims to mob in Manipur

While we say no to any form of violence and stick to it no matter what, let the government, judiciary, and us as a society also give victims of grave injustice reasons to have faith in the system.

There's massive anger and hopelessness in people, & vile individuals like Kangana
are only triggering it. Even after being slapped, Kangana didn't have the decency to say, "I'm sorry for what I said. While violence is wrong, what I said was also wrong." One statement from her could have given so much hope. But instead,

My investigation - HOW THE COUNTRY IS BEING LOOTED IN THE NAME OF PANDEMIC AND PROTECTION

इस रिपोर्ट को देखिए और देश में हो रहे लूट के ख़िलाफ़ आवाज़ उठाये। जनता के पैसे पेड़ पे नही उगते।

#COVIDー19 #Corona #N95
Maha govt used to buy #N95 from Venus Safety at ₹11.6 in 2019 & ₹17.3 + gst in Jan 2020. As soon as #COVIDー19 struck, price of same product went up to ₹42 (more than 250% increase). Now, same mask was available in market for ₹180-350 & more. That's more than a 1000% increase
Prices kept on increasing because the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) did not cap the MRP even after #N95 masks were notified as essential commodity under the Essential Commodities Act.

THIS IS A TRUE STORY. Just don’t know if it’s sad or funny.

After hearing NO from at least 10 hospitals, rang up a senior doctor from a govt hospital in Mumbai at 12:30 in night to check if his hospital has a bed available for this 70 yr old patient with extreme breathing issues
Doctor sounded drunk and he blasted me for calling him at such an hour. I apologised thrice but told him that it was an urgent situation. Doctor didn’t hang up on me. He said “We are not the guardian angels. If the city is drowning, don’t hold us accountable for everything”
“If people are queuing up outside alcohol shop, govts are opening temples, hundreds are travelling without any social distancing, we can’t help the case. So please don’t call us for anything.”
