Newsband completes a Decade

Newsband, the daily newspaper of Navi Mumbai, completed ten years after the staff of Newsband brought out the 10th Volume’s 304^th issue of the newspaper on 29 April 2018. The first issue of the first volume of Newband had come out on 1 May 2007. Publisher of Newsband Kailash Gindodia should be congratulated for the kind of success that Newsband enjoyed during its ten year of existence. This is a ‘Dream Coming True’ experience for our Publisher.

During this joyous occasion, the entire staff of Newsband misses one person who is none other than Late Shri K R Bhat who was the Former Editor of Newsband. It was K R Bhat who had coined the word ‘Newsband’ which went on to become the name of our esteemed daily newspaper. Earlier, when the newspaper was a Weekly, it was called ‘In New Bombay’. It is unfortunate that the staff of Newsband will be celebrating the tenth year of Newsband without K R Bhat who, if he was present at this time, would have been the happiest man.

During its ten years of existence, the daily newspaper Newsband succeeded in winning the hearts of many newspaper readers of Navi Mumbai. The credit for this should go to every member of Newsband, whether he is the Publisher or Editorial Staff or Marketing people or DTP Operator or Reporters or Guest Columnists or Newspaper Distributors or even the Office Boys. All these persons did some kind of contribution or the other to make Newsband the popular daily local newspaper which it is today. Most credit for success of Newsband should of course go to its Readers who expressed their appreciation for the way in which Newsband progressed during its ten year journey.

Yes, there is scope for improving this newspaper still more and many members of the staff as well as the Readers have come up with suggestions that can catapult Newsband to a still greater height. All these suggestions have been considered and if they are practical in nature, they will certainly be applied in the days to come. Let us hope that our beloved daily newspaper Newsband will continue to succeed in informing and entertaining its Readers for still longer time. The Staff of Newsband express their gratitude to all those persons who contributed towards making Newsband one of the top daily newspapers of Navi Mumbai.
