Government achieves light-speed governance by demanding memes disappear faster than instant noodles can cook.

What happened

The Ministry of Electronics and IT has upgraded its 'Digital India' vision to 'Deleted India.' Social media platforms now have a strict 180-minute window to scrub 'unlawful' content, which includes anything from national security threats to a poorly timed emoji near a photo of a pothole. Experts suggest that if the government worked this fast on bridge maintenance, the nation's infrastructure might still be standing, but prioritizing the removal of satirical cartoons is considered a more 'structurally sound' policy for maintaining public order.
