New 20-car Mangaluru-Thiruvananthapuram VB Express begins services
The new 20-car Vande Bharat Express rake deployed on Mangaluru Central-Thiruvananthapuram Central-Mangaluru Central began its maiden journey on Tuesday from Mangaluru. It was running with 16 cars hitherto.
Great monologue by Unni Balakrishnan about The Inept Home minister and police brutality and the influential figures within the system who shield criminal officers from accountability.

I Put Panchayat Audit Reports Through ChatGPT!
This is my second write-up after “Ente Panchayat Ente Utharavadhithwam (My Panchayat My Responsibility)”. I’m really thankful for the support I received, and even happier that I could share this knowledge with you 🙏
As a continuation of that effort, I learned that our Panchayat goes through an audit every year.

PUBLICATIONS > Audit report > Local Self Government Institutions >)
⚫ Who Does This Audit?
The audit is done by the Kerala State Audit Department (KSAD).
⚫ Purpose of the Audit:
To check whether the Panchayat used public funds properly and legally.
To verify whether money spent on projects, salaries, and welfare schemes is backed by proper bills, receipts, and approvals.
To ensure that Panchayat accounts match with bank statements and that no money is missing or misused.
⚫ How Often Is It Done?
By law, every Panchayat must be audited once every financial year (April to March).
I downloaded the available audit reports and uploaded them to ChatGPT in deep research mode. I then asked it to go through them like a CID officer and point out every suspicious project, activity, or violation that could indicate corruption.
Here are the few chunks for result :
🔷 2021–22🔷
• A housing scheme worth ₹2.01 lakh was given to 35 people. But only 4 had caste certificates. The rest had no proof, meaning money may have gone to the wrong people.
• In a tribal water tank project worth ₹1.33 lakh, receipts for almost the entire amount were missing. Only ₹3,725 worth of receipts were shown.
• In a student laptop scheme, out of 88 laptops, receipts for only 68 were available. 20 laptops worth ₹1.83 lakh had no proof of distribution.
• An animal husbandry project got ₹2 lakh grant, but there were no bills, no project file, nothing to show how it was spent.
🔷 2022–23🔷
• Bank reconciliation showed ₹1.61 lakh was directly taken by the bank but never adjusted in Panchayat accounts.
• About ₹11,790 in cheque deposits was not collected.
• Annual accounts were inconsistent and did not match supporting records.
• ₹23.65 lakh (Anganwadi workers’ honorarium) was wrongly deducted from the Panchayat’s development fund instead of being shown in the salary head. This is misuse of funds.
• In several government grant accounts, the balances in Panchayat records did not match the actual bank balances.
You can also try this with your panchayat audit reports. I’m not sure if the deep research mode is available in the free version of ChatGPT. I’m on the basic paid plan (ChatGPT Go), and I was able to do it from there.

My take on Pravasi jeevitham in Middle Eastern countries and the sad reality of broken families back home.
If we really want to improve our quality of life, we need to stop this mass migration to the Middle East. Men are going alone, leaving their wives and kids behind… families are breaking inside. Wife missing her husband, husband missing his wife, kids growing up without a father figure. End of the day, a little money comes in, but the emotional damage it causes is way bigger than the money most families are getting., it’s just a sad situation.

Track How Kerala MPs Are Spending Their MPLADS Funds
Hey folks,
I stumbled upon this site
Empowered Indian – Kerala MPLADS Dashboard
that lets you track how much money each MP has been allocated under MPLADS and how much they’ve actually spent.
Instead of just looking at the state data, click the MP tab and you can see how much each MP has spent, the percentage utilization, and other details.
This info is public and can be cross-checked with the official MPLADS portal (mplads.gov.in).
As citizens, while complaining to our government often yields nothing, it’s important to know and analyze if the people we choose are actually doing their work properly or not.
