The editorial section gives the people the right chance to express their comments on various current issues.

There are exclusive pages of information for sport lovers, economists and businessmen. The eligible candidates eagerly go through the appointments’ section with a hope of finding a suitable job opportunity.

There are a number of classified advertisements for matrimonial alliances, jobs, property dealings, kennels and livestock etc. As we read the newspaper page by page we realize that not all news is good news.

So much is happening every day that unless you keep yourself abreast of these changes you cannot adjust yourself to them or move with the times smoothly and easily.
