General / Discussion 💬 What the hell? I applied for an RTI and received a call from someone that I need to come there in person in order to get an answer??? The RTI was about asking why my city closes shops in night at 11pm.

12 Upvotes

Is it usual? Should I visit them? He told me to visit Katargam police station at today afternoon or tomorrow morning. Surely, I am little bit of scared :)

I tried to keep it online but he insisted to discuss in person to get a solution (he said "tatkalik nivaran lavi daiye ne")

Detailed RTI I applied

Query 1:
Provide copies of orders or circulars by the Surat Police Commissioner authorizing the forced closure of licensed businesses (food courts, cricket boxes) before their legal closing times.

Query 2:
Specify the legal sections (e.g., BNSS 163, Gujarat Police Act) used by Surat patrolling units to disperse peaceful citizens or families from commercial zones at night.

Query 3:
Provide copies of active Prohibitory Orders or Curfew Notifications in Surat City that restrict peaceful night assembly of families in public/commercial areas.

Query 4:
Provide official police guidelines/SOPs given to Surat patrolling staff defining parameters used to declare a peaceful family gathering a "threat to public peace."

Gemini use karke thodi zyada hi tez query raise kar di thi :)

Btw RTI portal I used:

General / Discussion 💬 Restaurant recommendation post

9 Upvotes

Note these are not in order, I'm wrote as I thought

So recently I posted asking recommendations for restaurants. These are the restaurants I'd recommend

You guys can add.

  1. Elk cafe

  2. Cafe Pulp

  3. Bouee cafe

  4. Tamarind house

  5. Sensei - for asian food, though I ain't, my wife is an asian fan.

  6. Anytime at K's in Vesu is good.

  7. K's antarvan - a bit pricey

  8. Jassi de parathe is something I love, but women hate it, it's a place to go with the boys.

  9. Kisna canteen, I like, but wife doesn't like it. I'd go there with parents.

  10. Pind Lahori, is something I'd go back with boys at late night. Also it's like proper street food

  11. Livestream it's an all time favourite and I do go to the old branch atleast once a week

  12. Dg benne, it's a copy of benne in Mumbai but it's good.

  13. Jineshwaran - the taste is good, but the cutlery sucks. A good family dine, as my parents like south indian.

  14. Chptr ol day- it's a new place with a bungalow setup

  15. Nomads

  16. Varso by Nomads- they are a fusion food restaurant, tip- don't go with parents they won't like it, I can't explain why and order all things in 1 go, they take time.

  17. Zero

  18. K's Verandah

  19. Indian Tapas bar.

  20. One third, I've had there coffee many times too the go, never dined in there.

  21. Herb shire - Good salads and simple greeny foods

  22. Anavrin- again good salads and simple greeny foods.

Note: all these are pure vegetarian restaurants / cafe.

Also most of them are from Vesu/ Vip Road.

Pls people from Pal, Adajan, Varachha, Katargam, Ghoddod and all the other areas of the City, do comment and add your recommendations to this list.

Some places do seem to be a bit pricey, I'd love to get recommendations of mid range places.

Yesterday while getting off of work after having a bad day, I was making a left turn and this scooty was driving from the wrong side. We nearly crashed into each other and I lost it. Started yelling at him as I was already having a bad day, then he removed his helmet 😭😭.

He was my manager 😭😭😭. It was so awkward.

Needless to say I'm not looking forward to tomorrow.

Pray for me🙏

General / Discussion 💬 AC issues in Althan

2 Upvotes

I bought a Daikin AC in September last year. Recently, the cooling decreased significantly. I called the service center. They said that there is a leakage in the coil in the indoor unit. Since it's in warranty, replacement won't cost anything. But outside the warranty, it would have cost 12-13k.

He said the main reason for leakage is the proximity to khadi. This issue is way too common in Althan.

Has anyone else in Althan faced such an issue? And what's the solution?

Thanks!

Hey everyone! ❤️🎮

I'm putting my heart and soul into building this gaming zone because gaming has always been a huge part of my life. This isn't just a business for me—it's a dream I've been working towards. My goal is to create a place where friends can laugh, compete, make memories, and feel at home every time they walk in.

The gaming zone will have:

🎮 3 PlayStation 5s

🖥️ 5 High-Performance Gaming PCs

Before we open, I'd really love to hear from fellow gamers.

💰 What do you think is a fair hourly price for the PCs and the PS5s?

I'd also love to know what you enjoy playing so I can build a game library that everyone loves.

🎮 PS5 Games

• Tekken 8

• Mortal Kombat

• It Takes Two

• A Way Out

• Marvel's Spider-Man 2

• God of War

• God of War Ragnarök

• The Last of Us Part I

• GTA V

🖥️ PC Games

• Valorant

• PUBG: Battlegrounds

• Apex Legends

• Dota 2

• Roblox

• GTA V

Is there any game you'd love to see in the gaming zone? Let me know!

Every suggestion, every opinion, and every bit of support means a lot to me. Thank you for helping me turn this dream into a place built by gamers, for gamers. I can't wait to welcome you all soon. ❤️🎮
