A report on the Deccan Herald daily said that in Kengeri area of Bengaluru, power supply was disrupted after a 40-year-old tree fell on a couple of electric poles.
In the last paragraph of the story, it says, "The electricity poles were expected to be replaced and power restored by late Saturday afternoon.".
I was reading this report on Sunday morning. That is, nearly two days after the incident happened. So, was there was no one in the newspaper who could confirm whether the power supply was restored on Saturday evening?
Would it have been better if the reporter had verified this and asked the desk to update the story? How difficult was this verification?
What does this silly lapse say about Indian journalism? Irresponsible or shoddy?
