Dainik Bhaskar, Noticed!

Dainik Bhaskar has delved into what seems to be an unwholesome kind of reporting. How much is it actionable, whether criminally or civilly, would depend on the reply I get apropos the notice delivered to its editor yesterday, who took delivery but refused to endorse it's acknowledgement. That speaks a volume about the bona fide of the publication he happens to head. The communication appended below is, therefore , being posted in regular course . The same may please be read below which may speak for itself:-

Dear Sir(s),

Ref: Your News story which appeared in your edition dated 9.6.18 at Page 2 captioned, ‘Peepal ke Regstration par…‘ besides other inboxed stories concerning Peepal, inter alia.

With due respect for your esteemed journal, and in obvious belief that you are cognizant of your responsibility and liability under the special enactment namely PRD Act vide registration no. RNI No. EIHHIN/2015/66667, besides general law of the land, we are constrained to respectfully address you the following ,with intent to eliciting your stand with respect to the above mentioned news publication, so as to enable us to determine the course of action that may be expedient. 
That, in the first place your kind attention is invited to para 2 of the above mentioned news story stating therein, ‘April maah mein achanak Peepal – The Resilience Lab naamak sanstha ne shahar mein dastak di’
Kindly focus your kind attention on the term achanak. Without at all intending to mete out any slight, your further attention is drawn to a very trivial allusion, with intent to putting your concept in place. The question is when did Bhaskar commence its publication in Bhagalpur. Whatever be the date ,can it be termed as achanak and liable to be alluded to your above seeming insinuation? Please be candid, rather than laconic. Your answer may set the tone for the rest under discovery.
Further, without again intending any slight, your attention is drawn to the fact that the above story has been authored by a scribe who must have been born on a specific day month and year. Kindly elicit, whether the same was also likewise achanak as if it was a bolt from the blue. And also whether your interest in the above publication is also likewise achanak ,without introduction of any clue what made the perception 'achanak' ,so poignant.
You may kindly also inform if the commencement of the work which is not defined in law as not offensive ,can be condemned sweepingly with such insinuations as 'achanak', because there has to be a Day 'one', for everything that happens , one does, be that social work or an act of commerce which you are doing in the news publication business which is presumed to be with objectives other than marketing insinuations, much less,  with malice.
The statement that, Municipal Corporation has included Peepal – The Resilience lab in its 34 crore Solid Waste Management Training, has been placed as a tangent,  bereft of substantial details, in the manner of kite flying which is the exclusive province of yellow journalism wherein a respectable journal like yours can not be conceived of belonging with the possible exception of pen pushers inadvertently gone unnoticed. If that be so, kindly address the issue along side due redress . After all, how come it has been said that we have been given 1. Work order 2. Finance. As an expert with 20 years experience, and as a citizen , the programme Dierector Rani Sahay, offered support to Municipal Corporation. There is no business transaction. The organisation is providing technical and knowledge support without charging any fee. Where is Peepal flouting the law of the land and what favour do you perceive whom having got from whom and how?. This is voluntary support as a citizen of Bhagalpur to correct situations that has gone wrong, despite gigantic presence of entities such as you and those for whom you purport to hold the brief.
That Peepal is unregistered, you said without justifying your own ignorance as regards segments of registration and it's requirement qua eligibility for voluntary services. You ought to have placed your own understanding in this regard before outpouring and exhibiting absence of wisdom in that respect. What registration is required to carry out work which is voluntary in nature and directed towards city’s welfare? State, citing corresponding law or rule, before kindly realising that it does not behove of a respectable journal to countenance imbecility of such kind on the part of its incompetent scribes.
‘kaam de diya, zimmedari de di’ what makes you think the work order has been given or will be given in future? Your categorical reply is warranted .
Training dene ki koshish bhi ki… training was imparted. There was no koshish involved, mind you. Training was imparted in good will for city’s well being, without charging a fee. And why should it fetch condemnation , even if devil's workshop refuse to generate commendations for which a humble NGO is unwilling to foot the bill? 
Bina adhikrit nigam ki ore se bayaan? What have you said? Shouldn't you yourself rubbish your own imbecility in this regard as well inasmuch  no bayaan was given by the NGO, beyond what was mentioned by Municipal Commissioner himself in the same meeting that dustbins will be given. It was just a repetition. Peepal has and would have no role in distribution of dustbins. If you or any one for whom you seem to be fielding , whether selflessly or selfishly, have any inclination to participate likewise, whether independently or in co-operation, you need not be advised that you are welcome. But if you just believe in being a paper tiger , do keep roaring, but not unmindful of the limitations that law casts upon. 
Kachre se khaad banayenge was told because Peepal is deeply involved in voluntararily promoting waste to compost, to save Champa from dumps. In this Peepal would voluntarily play a role in demonstrating and propagating segregation of biodegradable and non biodegradable waste and utilising the former to convert into compost. You may like to invite from the deadwoods playing around, if even they have any program which may be aided or supplemented . But do they or you have? An answer may signify your bona fide or its feigned absence, as may be the case.
What do you mean by Smart City CEO ne Peepal par kripa barsai? Shouldn’t it be the other way round that Peepal ne kripa barsai and supported Nigam for the work it is supposed to do. Peepal did everything voluntarily, without charging a dime from Municipal Corporation,towards bringing a positive change in the city.
Why cant other organisations and for that matter you, do the same or at least let us all know what is being done, if at all, save and except loitering about as something which term we beg to reserve until receipt of your response within seven days, failing which the law of non-traverse would be applied and we would be free to move on to the next course as may be advised.
                                             Thanking you,
                                             Yours faithfully,
