Journalist Dilbar Singh Bisht died of a heart attack on Monday, sending a wave of mourning through Uttarakhand’s media fraternity. Active in journalism since 2006, Bisht worked with leading newspapers including Dainik Jagran, Shah Times, Dainik Hawk Lok Satya, and was associated with Anaadi TV.

His last rites will be performed at his ancestral ghat in Khakra. Colleagues remembered him as a soft‑spoken journalist with a distinct identity in regional reporting, whose dedication left a lasting mark on Uttarakhand’s media landscape.

Even After 200 Years, the Bearers of Light Remain in the Dark Before you even open your eyes in the morning, there is someone who brings the world to your doorstep: the newspaper distributor. If journalism has a history of nearly 400 years, the profession of newspaper distribution has existed for almost two centuries. What began in the 19th century with young newspaper boys gradually evolved into an organised distribution system. Today, across much of the world, newspaper distributors continue to serve as the final link in the chain of print journalism. Times have changed. Technology has changed. The size, design, printing technology and content of newspapers have all evolved. Computers arrived, followed by the internet, mobile phones and social media. Today, news from across the world can reach us on our phones in seconds. But the life of the newspaper distributor has, in many ways, remained unchanged for decades. Their day begins around 4 or 5 in the morning. They travel to ne

Wednesday, 9 September 2026 #1  ·  Times City  ·  Ground report In 1 day, MCD conducts safety survey of 1,150 PGs housing 20,000 people By Amitanand Choudhary   ·   The Times of India, New Delhi  ·  Page 5 Following Delhi High Court's direction, MCD teams visited 1,150 paying guest accommodations across all 12 zones in a single day, finding 20,000 occupants and identifying around 40 buildings needing minor repairs and six to eight needing major work. The story exposes a critical gap between the ordered 'structural audit' and the far less rigorous 'physical survey' MCD is actually conducting, with structural engineer Aditya Sharma questioning whether such a rushed exercise can prevent future collapses. MCD officials acknowledge that 70-80% of Delhi buildings lack sanctioned plans, making genuine structural audits near-impossible. The reporter goes beyond official announcements to expose the cr
