Newsband is nine years old today

Today is the 9^th anniversary of Newsband which we are proud to say is the only full-fledged daily newspaper which has survived for so long in the city of Navi Mumbai. The credit should go to our publisher as well as all the other employees of Newsband who have shed blood, sweat and tears to make Newsband what it is today. We only pray that Almighty will continue to keep us strong enough to keep this beloved newspaper of ours going for as long as possible in the future too.

Some might argue that Newsband is not the only daily newspaper in Navi Mumbai but that there are other major publication which come out with daily Navi Mumbai supplements. But remember, they are only supplements and not full-fledged daily newspapers. Agreed that a couple of them are our tough competitors. But if you go by public poll Newsband is not at all lagging behind them; in fact, many are of the opinion that Newsband is indeed the major daily in the city.  

Newsband believes in democratic functioning and hence our newspaper publishes all kinds of points of views and we leave it to our intelligent Readers to decide which point of view to support or oppose. If you see our ‘Letters to the Editor’ column too, you will find that all kinds of opinions belonging to our Readers are published - may one opinion controvert the other. We believe that our Readers are the final judges. They are the Supreme ones who will decide what is right and what is wrong. Our job is to present all the facts and points of views to the Reading public who will ultimately pass on their verdict about which information to accept or reject.

Since the inception of Newsband, there has been many who worked for this newspaper but except for couple of employees in Newsband, others went on getting replaced. Old employees went away, new ones came but the newspaper never stopped functioning. It went on as if believing in the principle: Come What May, The Show Must Go On.

Thus we have now arrived at the completion of ninth year of our beloved newspaper, just one short of a decade. We are sure that our Readers who were the main people behind keeping our newspaper going will continue to do the same for years and years to come in the future too.
