Tried resisting the urge of sharing the twitter thread on stories I did this year but failed so here I am spamming your timeline with this.
The year turned out to be good for me. It was never a dull day especially in the month of November when Silkyara tunnel collapsed
VHP के ज़िला मंत्री रितेश दूबे बीबीसी हिंदी को बताते हैं, "मस्जिद को बचाने के लिए हमने ह्यूमन चेन नहीं बनाई थी. हमारी शोभायात्रा में शामिल लोगों को किसी तरह की कठिनाई न हो इसलिए हम लोग ह्यूमन चेन बनाकर शोभायात्रा निकाल रहे थे."

To every journalist who is covering the elections,
If you are taking the help of local reporters for stories you cover while on ground then please have the generosity to pay them, give them the credit in your reports and respect them.
Good Night.

A humble request to Delhi reporters, Please start crediting and paying the district reporters who give you the inputs and stop proclaiming yourself as BREAKING/ EXLUSIVE Masters.
These grassroots reporters invest their blood and sweat so start respecting their hardwork.

Uttar Pradesh is voting in for the last phase of Assembly Elections and with this I conclude my poll coverage. It is fun to be based out of India's most populous state which is bigger than the size of Brazil but it also very challenging to cover it entirely. A 🧵of stories I did

Meet Chaudhary, a resident of Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh.
His son Manjeet is one amongst 41 people trapped inside the Silkyara tumnel. Chaudhary came to Uttarkashi travelling in train/bus after mortgaging jewellery.
He had earlier lost one son due to electrocution.

The endorsement of gun culture by none other than the 'men in power' has made 'men in khaki' take the wrong path. The patting of officers for encounters should immediately be stopped and a high level probe should be ordered in all the judicial killings in recent years.
यह घटना शायद यूपी पुलिस के इतिहास में पहली होगी। एक डायरेक्ट आईपीएस अपने जिले में लूट-वसूली के मकसद से व्यापारी इन्द्रकांत त्रिपाठी को गोली मरवा देता है। मरने के पहले व्यापारी का वीडियो वायरल हुआ। प्रारंभिक जाँच में एसपी पर आरोप प्रमाणित मिले। FIR हुई। आज व्यापारी की मौत हो गयी।
