I wonder why we didn't get this peice of news on TV. Being a native of Sirsa and currently living in Bangalore, I have been following the progress of this work of construction very closely. Well, I hope it will be near completion when I come home next year in February.

By the way you are doing a good Job, Mr. Mann. Keep it up!

This is very very rare news item ----highly suppressed news item by Dainik Jagran and Dainik Bhaskar ----Both converted Hill into mole.

In these newspapers , this news was displayed to be a very minor incident just like breaking of drain cover and assured readers nothing to be worried about.

THIS IS THE MOST NEGLIGENT MISUSE OF PRESS FREEDOM.If this news would have been given due coverage,Chambal bridge failure would have been averted.Media have practiced PEET PATRAKARITA(throwing news item just like peet of paan).
