A customer’s complaint alleges defective product quality, a missing component, and an unsatisfactory response from customer support.

CHANDIGARH | CONSUMER CONCERN

A customer has raised serious concerns about their experience with Ausha after spending ₹1,900 on a product that, according to the customer, is blurry and missing its shutter.

The customer alleges that repeated attempts to explain the product’s problems to customer support did not lead to an effective resolution. Instead, the customer says they were repeatedly advised to adjust different settings, despite insisting that the issue was with the product itself.

The customer further states that Ausha had claimed that a shutter would be provided, but the matter remained unresolved.

After a prolonged and frustrating exchange with customer support, the company reportedly agreed to replace the product. However, the customer says they were then told that if the company found the product satisfactory, it would be returned to them.

This response has raised a fundamental concern for the customer: If a customer pays ₹1,900 for a product that does not meet their needs and is reported to have defects, what assurance do they have that a replacement will actually resolve the problem?

The customer maintains that the product has not delivered the expected value for the money paid and that their primary concern has not been adequately addressed.

The issue also highlights the importance of transparent replacement procedures, clear communication, and responsive after-sales support. Customers should be able to explain a product defect and receive a clear explanation of the inspection, replacement, or refund process without feeling that their concerns are being dismissed.

Questions arise over customer grievance redressal: Will Ausha provide a satisfactory resolution? Will the reported defects and missing component be properly addressed? And will the company clarify the conditions under which a replacement product may be returned to the customer?

Ausha has been invited to respond to the concerns described in this report.

SSSTik is a free TikTok Downloader that works in your web browser. You paste a video link, and it gives you a direct link to a watermark-free version of the video from TikTok, if one is available. There is no app to install and no account to create. You can save TikTok videos on a phone, tablet or computer in about a minute.

What SSSTik does and does not do

SSSTik does not edit a file or remove the TikTok watermark itself. It finds the watermark-free version that TikTok already has for the post and gives you a link to download it. That’s why the result looks clean and not cropped or blurred where a logo used to be.

Downloads are usually MP4 files, which most phones, computers and video players can open. The file can’t be better than the original upload. If the creator posted in HD, you can download HD. If not, you get the best version TikTok has.

You can start a tiktok download from any modern browser. No extensions or extra software are needed.

How to use the TikTok Downloader in 3 steps

1. Copy the link. In the TikTok app, open the video, tap Share and choose Copy link. On a computer, copy the URL from your browser’s address bar.
2. Paste the link. Open SSSTik, paste the URL into the input field and tap the download button.
3. Download the file. Pick the available MP4 option. The video goes to your default download folder or to the location set in your browser settings.

On Android, videos usually go to the Downloads folder. On iPhone and iPad, Safari saves files to the Downloads folder in the Files app. You can move a video to your photo library from there.

Download TikTok stories too

SSSTik also works for TikTok stories. Stories disappear from the platform after 24 hours, so save one while it’s still live. Copy the story link and paste it into SSSTik the same way you would for a regular video. The same limits apply: only content that is currently available can be downloaded.

Why people download TikTok videos

Common reasons to download TikTok videos include:

• Watching offline on a flight or when mobile data is limited
• Keeping a backup of videos you made yourself
• Saving tutorials for teaching or learning
• Archiving news clips or examples for research
• Keeping a copy of a moment before the post is deleted or the account goes private

Timing matters in that last case. SSSTik can only get content that is public and still online. It can’t recover videos that were deleted, removed from the platform or made private.

Features at a glance

• Free to use, with unlimited downloads
• No registration or login
• Works in the browser, with nothing to install
• Fast link processing
• MP4 downloads, and HD when the source has it
• Works in browsers on desktop, mobile and tablet
• Video and story downloads

If a download doesn’t work

Most failed downloads come from the link or the post, not your device. Try these checks:

• Make sure you copied the full URL, not just part of it.
• Open the link in TikTok to make sure the post is still public and available.
• Refresh the SSSTik page and paste the link again.
• If a story won’t download, check whether its 24-hour window has already ended.

Use saved videos responsibly

A TikTok video belongs to the person who made it. Keep downloaded videos for personal viewing, study or your own archive. If you want to share someone else’s clip, ask the creator first and give them clear credit. Don’t re-upload other people’s work as your own.

Search used to be a simple transaction. You typed a question, Google handed you a bunch of blue links, and you picked one. Now people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity a question and get a full answer on the spot, no clicking required. Hence, the best SEO company in India today prioritize LLM SEO.

What Is Meant by LLM SEO?

Large Language Models, or LLMs, are the branch of Generative AI trained to read, make sense of, and write language the way a person would. LLMs like ChatGPT and Google Gemini are trained on vast datasets. They can mimic human writing, hold a conversation, follow context, and produce content that actually reads right.

LLM focuses SEO strategies opens doors to ranking on those longer, more specific searches people actually type. Old-school SEO focused on cramming in keywords, targeting them, and chasing them. LLM SEO doesn’t work that way. It cares about meaning. Context. What the person actually wants when they type those words. Get that right, and the content ends up serving the reader instead of just the search engine.

Why Ranking #1 Doesn’t Mean What It Used To

Today your company can rank first on Google and still never get mentioned when someone asks an AI model the same question. Large language models don’t crawl a page and decide it deserves the top spot. They pull from training data, live retrieval, and whatever sources they trust enough to cite or paraphrase. Your beautifully optimized meta description means nothing to a model that’s summarizing five sources into one paragraph.

This is why companies like iSearch Solution offer AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) services. Instead of optimizing purely for crawlers and keyword density, these services allow brands to optimize for citation, for being the source an AI model trusts enough to quote or reference.

How To Refine Your Content Strategy

If you’re still writing purely for keyword density and backlink count, you’re optimizing for a search landscape that’s already half gone. The brands pulling ahead right now are the ones treating content as something that needs to be trustworthy enough to be quoted, not just optimized enough to be ranked. That means investing in original research, clear structured writing, consistent facts across your site, and yes, still building genuine relationships that lead to real citations and mentions elsewhere on the web. Link Building Services haven’t disappeared in this new era. They’ve just gotten more selective. Quality over quantity was always the advice. Now it’s basically the only strategy that works.

The Approach Followed by LLM SEO

• Structure Matters More Than Ever: Language models favor content that’s easy to parse and extract. This includes clear headings, direct answers near the top, information organized in digestible chunks. Burying your best insight in paragraph twelve doesn’t work anymore, even if you have put in the right keywords.
• Authority And Trust Signals Carry Real Weight: Models lean toward sources that show expertise, get cited elsewhere, and have a track record of accuracy. This is where things like brand mentions, digital PR, and link building services can help. A link isn’t just a ranking signal anymore. It’s a vote of confidence that gets absorbed into how a model perceives your brand’s authority across the web.
• Freshness And Consistency Matter: LLMs often blend live retrieval with training data, so outdated or contradictory information across your site can actually hurt your chances of being cited. If your blog says one thing and your product page says another, a model might just skip you and quote a competitor who’s more internally consistent.

Wrapping Up,

Search is changing, and fast. AI and conversational search platforms are driving most of it, making it essential to invest in LLM SEO. Content now has to work for regular search engines and for the AI models reading context, weighing information, and spitting out answers on their own.

Search is heading toward AI-driven experiences whether businesses are ready or not. The ones who adapt now, while everyone else is still catching up, walk away with a real edge. That means putting money and effort into AI-focused SEO, writing content that’s genuinely worth reading, and building the kind of topical authority that doesn’t fade. Do that, and you’re looking at visibility that actually lasts.

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini flagged off the ‘Drug-Free Haryana Faridabad Namo Marathon-2026’ from the historic Surajkund, with more than 1.35 lakh people participating in the mega event and raising a collective voice against drugs.

Addressing the participants, the Chief Minister said, “A resounding voice against drugs has risen from the land of Faridabad through the Namo Marathon today.” He said that the steps taken forward in the marathon were not merely a run on the roads, but were carrying forward Haryana’s collective consciousness and resolve against drugs.

More than 1.35 lakh people registered for the grand marathon organised in Faridabad, and almost all the registered participants reached the venue to take part in the event. The massive participation transformed Surajkund into a magnificent reflection of the collective resolve for a drug-free society. Since early morning, the enthusiasm of youth, women, senior citizens, sportspersons, students and people from different sections of society was clearly visible at the venue.

The event went beyond a marathon and emerged as a broad public message of de-addiction, fitness, healthy lifestyle, youth power, social unity and nation-building. A large number of young people participated in the marathon with great enthusiasm, conveying the message of staying away from drugs and channelising their energy in a positive direction. The notable participation of women and senior citizens further underlined that the fight against drugs is not the resolve of any one section, but a shared commitment of the entire society.

*Different Distances, One Destination—Drug-Free Haryana*

Participants took part in different categories of the marathon covering 21 kilometres, 10 kilometres and 5 kilometres. The distance was different, the pace varied and the participants belonged to different age groups, but the destination was the same for everyone—Drug-Free Haryana.

The Chief Minister showered flower petals on the participants and encouraged them. He said that Haryana’s identity is defined by hard work, medals and valour. The youth of Haryana are known not for drugs, but for their hard work, talent and dedication towards their goals. He called upon the youth to firmly say ‘No’ to drugs.

Nayab Singh Saini said that drugs not only weaken the body, but also snatch away dreams, affect families and hollow out society. He called upon the youth to channelise their energy and talent not into drugs, but into sports, education, skills, employment, innovation and nation-building.

*Surajkund Echoes with Chants of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’*

During the marathon, the Surajkund complex was imbued with a strong spirit of patriotism and social resolve. The entire atmosphere echoed with chants of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’. The countless steps moving forward together conveyed the message of a healthy society, drug-free youth and a strong nation.

The Chief Minister said that the day’s run was not merely a race to move forward on the road, but a run to advance social awareness against drugs. He extended his greetings to every runner, sportsperson, student, daughter and volunteer participating in the event.

*Chief Minister Administers Pledge for a Drug-Free Society*

During the programme, Nayab Singh Saini administered a pledge to the large number of participants present, urging them to stay away from drugs and play their role in building a drug-free society. The participants pledged that they would themselves stay away from drugs and also motivate their family members, friends and other people in society to stay away from drugs.

The collective pledge transformed the Namo Marathon from merely a sporting event into a major campaign for social change and public awareness.

The Chief Minister said that the fight against drugs is not the responsibility of the government or the police alone. It is a collective fight involving every household, every school and every village. He urged parents and teachers to maintain open and regular communication with children.

*Call to Transform Youth Energy into the Power of Nation-Building*

The Chief Minister said that youth is the greatest strength of any nation. Therefore, it is essential to protect youth power from the grip of drugs and channelise their energy towards nation-building. He called upon young people to take up sports, adopt a healthy lifestyle and work hard to achieve their goals.

He said that the youth of Haryana have always brought glory to the State and the country on the sporting field. If the State’s youth power remains away from drugs and channels its energy into positive activities, Haryana will achieve new heights of development.

*Message of Fitness and Healthy Lifestyle Also Delivered*

The Faridabad Namo Marathon delivered a strong message of fitness and healthy lifestyle along with the message of de-addiction. The participation of people from different age groups demonstrated that age is no barrier to living a healthy life.

The enthusiasm of youth, participation of women and active involvement of senior citizens emerged as special features of the event. Through the marathon, people conveyed the message of adopting regular exercise, physical activity and a positive lifestyle.

*De-Addiction Message Linked with Seva Sankalp Abhiyan*

Nayab Singh Saini said that the inspiration for service and resolve comes from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. To mark the completion of 25 years of Prime Minister’s public service, the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’ is being organised from September 17 to October 17. As part of this campaign, the message of the ‘Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan’ is being taken to the people. The Faridabad Namo Marathon is a strong link in this chain of service, resolve and social awareness.

He said that the message of de-addiction is being taken to every district and village of the State through ‘Haryana Uday’. If any family requires assistance related to drug addiction, it should not hesitate to seek help. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of courage.

*Participation of Over 1.35 Lakh People Creates a New Chapter of Collective Resolve*

The registration of more than 1.35 lakh people for the Faridabad Namo Marathon, with almost all registered participants reaching the venue, became a testimony to the enthusiasm and widespread public participation in the event.

The coming together of such a large number of people with a common objective was the most significant feature of the marathon. Every participant moved forward carrying three clear messages: distance from drugs, proximity to health and participation in nation-building.

The event brought sports, fitness, social awareness and public participation together on one platform and helped take the message of de-addiction to a wider section of society.

*Faridabad Namo Marathon Emerges as an Event with Notable Public Participation at the National Level*

The Chief Minister said that the manner in which every section of society participated in the Faridabad Namo Marathon was special in itself. More than 1.35 lakh registrations, near-complete participation, a large presence of youth, and enthusiastic participation by women and senior citizens have made the event notable for its wide public participation.

He said that the marathon is not merely a one-day event, but the message emerging from it will continue to inspire society in the times to come to stay away from drugs, adopt a healthy lifestyle and contribute to nation-building.

*Resolve to Move from a Drug-Free Haryana towards a Developed India*

The Chief Minister said that the resolve for a Drug-Free Haryana is not limited merely to giving up drugs. Its broader objective is to make the youth healthy, educated, capable, self-reliant and responsible citizens. When the youth of the State remain healthy and channelise their energy into constructive activities, it will strengthen the goal of a Developed India.

He said that protecting youth power from drugs and connecting it with sports, education, skills, employment and nation-building is a priority responsibility of both the government and society.

Calling for a collective resolve, the Chief Minister said, “We will neither consume drugs ourselves nor allow anyone else to do so. We will channel the energy of our youth not into drugs, but into nation-building. A drug-free Haryana is our resolve, a healthy Haryana is our identity, and a developed India is our goal.”

The Chief Minister said that the real success of the event would be when the voice for de-addiction raised from Faridabad reaches every district, every village and every household of Haryana. ‘Nasha nahi, ab sapnon ka ujala hoga—Hamara Haryana, Nashamukt Haryana hoga’, he said.

*Prashant Chaudhary Wins Men’s 21.1-Km Event; Vikram Singh Finishes First Runner-Up*

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that the need of the hour in the country is not the politics of allegations, but the politics of facts. He said that in a democracy, the Opposition has every right to oppose the government, raise questions and seek answers, but such questions should be based on facts, and if allegations are levelled against any constitutional institution, there should be concrete evidence to substantiate them.

He said that constitutional institutions such as the Election Commission, the Supreme Court and the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) are not institutions belonging to any particular government or political party. Their prestige and credibility are an asset of the entire country and its democratic system. Therefore, despite political differences, maintaining the dignity of these institutions is the collective responsibility of all political parties and citizens.

The Chief Minister was addressing a press conference organised in Gurugram on Sunday. Haryana Industries and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh, Sohna MLA, Sh. Tejpal Tanwar, Pataudi MLA, Smt. Bimla Chaudhary and Media Advisor to Chief Minister Sh. Rajeev Jaitly was also present.

*Opposition Should Present Facts Before Questioning Election Commission’s Functioning*

The Chief Minister said that in recent times, questions have been raised by the Congress and its allied parties regarding the Election Commission, the electoral process and other constitutional institutions. He said that questioning the functioning of any institution may be part of democracy, but making serious allegations without evidence is not appropriate.

He said that the Election Commission is an autonomous constitutional institution entrusted with conducting the electoral process in the country and preparing and updating electoral rolls. The Election Commission itself also works at various levels to include eligible citizens in the electoral rolls and increase voter participation.

*Election Commission Has Clarified Its Position on SIR- Chief Minister*

 Nayab Singh Saini also referred to the questions being raised by the Opposition regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). He said that the Election Commission has clarified its position regarding its decisions and the process related to SIR. According to the records of the Election Commission, an order related to SIR was issued on June 24, 2025, following which guidelines were issued in various States and Union Territories.

He said that an attempt was also made to create confusion regarding Form-6 and the declaration form in connection with SIR, whereas the process relating to Form-6 and the relevant declaration form is clearly available on the Election Commission’s existing voter services portal.

*Ensuring Voting Rights of Every Eligible Citizen Is the First Requirement of Democracy*

 The Chief Minister said that democracy is not strengthened merely by holding elections. It is essential that electoral rolls are accurate and transparent, every eligible citizen is given the right to vote, elections are free and fair, and public trust in the democratic system remains strong.

He said that it is the responsibility of the Election Commission to ensure that no eligible citizen is deprived of the right to vote. He said that during the electoral process, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) reach out to voters at the grassroots level and efforts are made to reach eligible citizens who may have been left out. The Election Commission has also stated that during the SIR process, BLOs visit households to collect forms and assist voters.

Nayab Singh Saini said that political differences are a natural part of democracy, but such differences should not lead to distrust in democratic institutions.

The Chief Minister said that victory and defeat in elections are part of the democratic system. Questioning the credibility of constitutional institutions merely because an election result does not go in one’s favour is not appropriate. The country and democracy are paramount, and all political parties should perform their role in this spirit.

*Today, the Need Is for the Politics of Facts, Not Allegations*

 The Chief Minister said that today, the need is not for the politics of allegations, but for the politics of facts. There is a need not to spread confusion, but to place the truth before the people. He said that political parties should present evidence along with their allegations so that the actual situation can be made clear to the public.

He said that instead of weakening constitutional institutions, there is a need of the hour to strengthen them. Raising unnecessary questions about the credibility of institutions ultimately affects public trust in the democratic system.

*Oppose the Government, But Ensure the Dignity of Constitutional Institutions Is Maintained*

 Nayab Singh Saini said that the Opposition has every right to oppose the policies of the government. Questions should be raised and answers sought from the government, as this is a hallmark of a healthy democracy.

However, he said that it is necessary to keep political opposition and the dignity of constitutional institutions separate. The Opposition can strongly put forward its views on government schemes, policies and functioning, but before making serious allegations against the Election Commission or other constitutional institutions, facts should be verified, and evidence should be placed before the public.

*Highlights Changes in the Lives of Poor and Deprived Sections*

 The Chief Minister, referring to the work undertaken by the Central Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi for the poor and deprived sections, said that over the past 12 years, benefits such as housing, LPG connections, ration, healthcare facilities, tap water and financial assistance for farmers have reached poor families.

He said that schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, Ayushman Bharat, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana and Jal Jeevan Mission have impacted the lives of ordinary citizens. The Chief Minister said that the objective of the government is to ensure that the benefits of development reach the last person.

*Need for Responsibility in Speaking on National Security and Sensitive Issues*

The Chief Minister said that all political parties should exercise sensitivity and responsibility while making political statements on matters related to national security. He said that statements on matters related to the armed forces, security and the country’s strategic actions, without concrete information, can create confusion among the people.

He said that in a democracy, the government can be criticised, but the responsibility of political parties becomes even greater when dealing with issues concerning the country’s institutions and national interests.

*Removal of Article 370 Expanded Democratic Rights of People in Jammu and Kashmir: Chief Minister*

 The Chief Minister said that following the removal of Article 370 under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, democratic rights and political participation in Jammu and Kashmir have expanded.

The Chief Minister said that the people are also observing the actions of the Opposition and how questions are being raised about the dignity of constitutional institutions in the name of political opposition. He said that in a democracy, the final decision rests with the people, and in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections too, the people will exercise their right to vote and assess the work and conduct of political parties.

 *Chief Minister Raises Questions over Congress and AAP on Drug Problem in Punjab*

The Chief Minister, referring to Punjab, criticised the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party. He said that during the Congress regime, the problem of drug abuse remained serious in Punjab and was not effectively addressed.

He said that even during the subsequent Aam Aadmi Party government, concerns among the people regarding the drug problem continued. He said that the thinking of the Opposition parties has been that if the youth remain caught in drug abuse, they will not raise questions about employment and their rights.

He said that concerning the future of Punjab’s youth and the problem of drug abuse, there is a need to focus on concrete action and results rather than politics.

*Strengthening Constitutional Institutions Is Our Collective Responsibility*

The Chief Minister said that for strengthening the country’s democratic system, it is essential to respect the independence, prestige and credibility of the Election Commission, the judiciary and other constitutional institutions.

He said that political differences have their place, but the dignity of constitutional institutions is paramount. Every eligible citizen should have the right to vote, electoral rolls should be accurate and transparent, elections should be free and fair, and public trust in democracy should remain strong—these are the fundamental requirements of a democratic system.

The Chief Minister said that the people of the country are aware and understand the facts. Therefore, all political parties should move beyond allegations and counter-allegations and strengthen positive, fact-based and responsible political dialogue.

Anil Vij was speaking to media persons after watching the 138th episode of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ at the Central Phoenix Club in Ambala Cantonment on Sunday.

Referring to Prime Minister Modi’s remarks about the Somnath Temple during ‘Mann Ki Baat’, Vij said that the programme highlighted how the Somnath Temple had been demolished several times by Mahmud Ghazni, but the attackers had ultimately disappeared while the temple and its legacy continued to endure.  He said that the legacy of the temple continues to remain intact and that the grand Somnath Temple stands there today.

*Cleanliness and Environmental Protection Are Among Humanity’s Greatest Duties- Anil Vij*

 The Energy Minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi also spoke about Mahatma Gandhi and connected his message with cleanliness. He said that cleanliness campaigns are being undertaken across states, streets and neighbourhoods, and that people should draw inspiration from these efforts. Vij said that cleanliness is one of the most important public campaigns and cannot be successfully implemented without people’s participation. He said that Prime Minister Modi had also sought to draw everyone’s attention towards the importance of public participation in cleanliness initiatives. Referring to the environment,  Vij said that protecting and preserving it is a responsibility of humankind.

‘Mann Ki Baat’ Highlights Inspiring Work Taking Place Across the Country

Anil Vij said that every month, through ‘Mann Ki Baat’, people across the country are introduced to inspiring initiatives and good work being carried out in different parts of India. He said that Prime Minister Modi also highlighted the importance of amla (Indian gooseberry) and its connection with Self-Help Groups.

Anil Vij said that  such Self-Help Groups can help expand economic and business activities, while the cultivation of amla can provide benefits to people. He added that elders have also traditionally spoken about the various benefits of amla.

During the programme, the Prime Minister shared information on several subjects, including cleanliness, environmental protection, the campaign for a drug-free youth, ‘Vocal for Local’ and Poshan Maah, among other issues.

Krishan Lal Panwar said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is moving towards new heights of development.
