That's not news.
Today my attention was drawn by a news story published in the Times of India, stating that people here offered dharna, and resorted to Satyagrah, protesting the wretched civic life here, road wise, electricity wise, sanitation wise, and so on. I feel like adding what has been missed out.

Bhagalpur roads were full of ditches, till recently. Now the ditches have disappeared, replaced by craters. The most important and busiest road, i.e., the church Rd., now renamed MG Rd., would soon be un-motorable. Same is the fate of Patal Babu Road and R.P.Road. That is a fitting pooja gift that Nitish seems to have given to the two important BJP leaders, Ashwani Chaube and Shahnavaz, the former being Bhagalpur MLA and letter M.P. Why did these two celebrities stay away from the reported Satyagrah, in fact makes news. Why you have missed that? This is what I have to ask from the newsman. The vegeterian style of reporting no longer impresses. People want to read between the lines and see more than meets the eyes.
