Kya Chal Raha Hai?with Rudru
Jaspur 162, Rudrapur 140+: not a match, it's your air; a fake ₹8,000 message, and a six for SIDCUL
It opens as cricket commentary, and the score turns out to be the air: AQI 162 in Jaspur, 160 in Kashipur, past 140 in Rudrapur. Then one over, six balls, six stories, with Gaddha ji as third umpire: SIDCUL production up 35-40%, the fake ₹8,000 bonus message, a proposal on guest teachers' honorarium, three players from the district in the Indian team, the BJP's padyatra in Rudrapur, a Pantnagar patent and the Khatima road. Seriously: the accidents on Haldwani's Rampur Road and in Bazpur. Finally, a super over: four stories, non-stop.

ChingariAnd there it goes! Jaspur, 162 not out!
ChingariKashipur just two behind, 160!
ChingariAnd Rudrapur, past 140!
RudruWow! Is Rudrapur winning? Hey, what's going on?
ChingariIt's not a match, Rudru.
ChingariIt's the score of the air. AQI.
ChingariThe bigger the score, the worse the news!
RudruSo I'm walking 68 kilometres in this air?!
ChingariAnd the death overs, the ones with the firecrackers, are still to come!
ChingariJoking aside. These are a private website's figures for Monday afternoon, and the report puts them in the unhealthy category.
ChingariPeople with breathing problems, the elderly and children, please take care.
ChingariToday the news is cricket too! One over, six balls, six stories!
ChingariAnd the third umpire, Gaddha ji!
Gaddha jiI'm sitting on a high chair. The decision is mine!
RudruHey! That's my chair!
Gaddha jiArguing with the umpire? Quiet!
ChingariFirst ball, from SIDCUL! With Diwali demand, production is up 35 to 40 per cent! Three shifts, and about two to three thousand temporary hires!
Gaddha jiSix!
ChingariBut according to the report, contract workers are still waiting for their bonus.
Gaddha jiThen for them, the ball is still in the air.
ChingariSince we're talking bonuses, here's a wide ball! A message on WhatsApp: the government is giving every citizen 8,000 rupees for Diwali.
Rudru8,000?! Then I'll come by taxi!
ChingariWait! This message is fake. The central government has announced no such scheme. Don't open the link, and if you are cheated, call 1930 at once.
Gaddha jiWide! Leave this ball alone!
ChingariSecond ball! Guest teachers' honorarium, from 25 thousand to about 40 thousand rupees!
RudruHowzat! It's gone up!
ChingariWait! It's only a proposal for now. It has been sent to the government and awaits approval. About 42 teachers in the district would benefit.
Gaddha jiThis one's above even the third umpire! Decision pending!
ChingariWe stop the match here. On Haldwani's Rampur Road, late on Monday evening, two people died when two motorcycles collided.
ChingariA young man from Rampura in Rudrapur, who was returning after delivering a wedding card, and a village development officer from Kaladhungi.
ChingariTwo injured are in hospital. Preliminary information suggests the accident may have happened while overtaking; the actual cause will be clear after the investigation.
ChingariAnd in Bazpur's Lakhanpur village, a 42-year-old farmer died when a tractor overturned. Our condolences to these families.
ChingariThird ball, for the whole district! Three players from Udham Singh Nagar in the Indian team! Babita Adhikari, Tejaswini and Harshit Kumar!
ChingariFrom 24 November in Cambodia, the Asian Vovinam Championship!
RudruVovinam? What's that?
ChingariA martial art from Vietnam!
Gaddha jiSix! And the ball goes straight to Cambodia!
ChingariFourth ball, from the Rudrapur pitch. Chief Minister Dhami joined the BJP's padyatra, and at the rally in Gandhi Park he took aim at the Congress and the SP. Their reply is not in these reports.
ChingariAnd before the event, police detained a Bengali leader who has been on a sit-in for about six months. The report does not give the reason.
Gaddha jiOn this ball, the umpire stays silent.
ChingariFifth ball, from Pantnagar! Paddy husk, plus jaggery, equals, a patent!
ChingariThis university technique makes Trichoderma, which helps control soil-borne crop diseases.
LaddooA patent for jaggery?! I've been sweet since birth and I got nothing!
Gaddha jiFour!
ChingariLast ball, in Khatima! About two and a half kilometres of road will be widened, work worth about 15 crore rupees. The Chief Minister performed the bhoomi pujan.
Gaddha jiTwo and a half kilometres?! My whole family lives there! No ball!
ChingariUmpire ji, you don't rule on a case in your own family!
ChingariNow the super over! Four stories, non-stop!
ChingariTwenty new Chhath ghats in eight towns of the district, the Chief Minister announces!
