My sources in Media Industry (very highly placed can't name them, sorry 🙏🏼) told me the real reason behind the sudden Media Attention & Hyperbole towards #Hathras incident. The reason is none other than TRP
Week after week Republic & Republic Bharat has left them behind in TRPs
These channels tried everything to counter Arnab, some even resorted to copying the style of Republic when reporting from Mumbai about #NCB investigations. Some copied chasing of cars like Republic does. When even that couldn't dislodge Republic...
Several Senior Anchors, Editors & Reporters were sent from Delhi to fortify Mumbai reporting team. That too didn't work as the relatively inexperienced team led by Pradip Bhandari managed to beat the again in TRPs. This led to more frustration which was evident in αttαck..
on him by fellow journalists. All these channels have given on the #SSR story because only Republic has become synonymous for getting #JusticeForSSR So they were looking for a different story. Just like Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, they too got a "Gοd-given strategic opportunity"... w
which they can't let go. There are new developments in #SSR case and these channels feαr Republic will once again snatch the TRPs, hence this case is a counterbalance of sorts. The drαma yesterday in Noida was also pre planned as all News Channels have their HQ situated there.

I've been seeing various things being in short supply & thought of a simple & efficient way to tackle these shortages. I hope the powers to be take note of it. Please do read it fully and also suggest any changes as you deem fit as possible. 🙏🏼
1. Hospital Beds : Create a central public portal having detailed inventory of all the beds of all Covid designated Hospitals across India having details like expected per day room charges, contact details, directions (redirect to Google maps). All data should be real time.
2/n
This can be done by appointing a portal updating person in the admissions department of the hospital. So after every admission, the data can be updated to be most accurate all the time. This way people have knowledge of vacancy of normal beds, beds with oxygen & ventilators.

1. The protests are obviously politically sponsored. The farmers won't be negatively affected by new farm laws. The Govt has only added an additional selling channel for the farmers, which is completely voluntary.
1/9
2. The MSP selling route is still open. The mandis, aadtis etc are still going to function as they were doing. It's just that the farmers have a choice now. Also there are dispute redressal mechanisms which will solve any disputes in a time bound manner. Another win.
2/9
3. Now lets come to general condition of agriculture in India. It's no hidden fact that farmers are not getting the returns they should be getting. Their crops get destroyed due to many reasons. If they have a bumper harvest, then the price dips.
