Times of India, Chennai, dated July 16, 2008, carries an article titled "Engineer killed by Corporation lorry driven by cleaner" on Page 1.
Read this link:
At the outset, my heartfelt condolences for the family of poor Agnes. May her soul rest in peace. Also, I certainly hope that the police authorities take appropriate action against the people responsible for this accident - directly and indirectly.
But, ... ... ... ... ...
I was under the impression that TOI is supposedly a national newspaper. Since when did an accident killing an otherwise "unknown" person become worthy of a Page 1 coverage of a major newspaper.
It is soooooooo odd that I don't have words to express - Most certainly, this news item at best deserves a brief mention in the inside pages of the newspaper.
Will someone tell the Editor, TOI, that she/he should not goo of on a holiday to Antartica when the newspaper is being printed???
Regards,
