Please clarify if the initiative will be continued without glitches. Quite a few of us have left all other sources and rely solely on this platform for daily news, simply because it is the neatest, most user friendly and credible (generally newspapers don’t contain anything more than what you give here for us) source. If there are any problems please drop a notice. But please do not let this, and consequently our preparation, go haywire. Newspapers for 6th, 7th etc. seem to have been curated in a hurry, with no short summary. Please continue with the good work. Only forumias has the wherewithal to guarantee 100% news coverage while separating wheat from the chaff.
