🚨 EduInvesting | May 11, 2025 | The Geo-Political Edition No One Asked For
⚠️ TL;DR
- Drone sightings in Barmer, Rajasthan
- Ceasefire signed yesterday, but apparently drones don’t read newspapers
- Residents told: Turn off your lights, hide your biscuits, and pretend nothing’s happening
- Markets? Shut. Public? Confused. Security? Tighter than your broker’s customer support.
🎯 What Actually Happened?
Barmer — the land of camels, oil, and now airspace violations — found itself trending for all the wrong reasons today.
- Around 6:45 PM, multiple drone sightings were reported along the India-Pakistan border
- Local authorities pulled the switch like it’s Earth Hour on steroids — full blackout imposed
- Residents told:
🔇 No lights
🚫 No movements
🧯 No idea what’s going on
Meanwhile, someone’s dadi still thinks it’s a power cut and is yelling at the electricity board.
🛡️ Security Level: “Jawan Mode Activated”
- Entire Western Command is on alert
- Armed forces deployed in key pockets
- Barmer District Collector: “Don’t panic, but also please panic discreetly.”
Border villagers are now on WhatsApp groups named “Drone Watchers of Barmer,” forwarding 144p videos with UFO-like blur.
