This is really wonderful by Team ForumIAS. Especially beneficial for newcomers who do not know which articles to read or for those who are not in Delhi and cant get newspaper in their area. The small description that has been added by you makes the articles interesting to read.

It is way better than what was being done under Must Read Newspaper articles on the forum. The little description is a game changer and the best part is that we can access even those days newspaper which we have missed.

I just have one request to you ForumIAS – dont abruptly stop the initiative, like you have done in the past. This is very much BS on your part. Please try to maintain your consistency here. If you do that, and if you cover The Hindu and Indian Express Editorials well, you will be actually adding value to the Students than the current arrangement of just having bakar discussions.
