RudruHello, Rudrapur! It's Rudru, from space!
ChingariRudru?! What are you doing in space?
RudruIt was cold under my quilt, so I thought I'd go a little closer to the sun!
ChingariThen tell us from up there, what's the district's weather today?
RudruWait, let me zoom in!
ChingariHello! This is the news weather! Today in Sitarganj, champion sunshine! In Rudrapur, relief from the hospital! And from the district panchayat, a breeze of decisions!
ChingariIn Sitarganj, champion sunshine! In the grand finale of the Udaan Uttarakhand volleyball tournament, Baruabagh won the women's title and Gaughat the men's!
ChingariBoth winning teams got one lakh rupees each, and runners-up Nakuliya and Gaganpur 75 thousand each. 55 teams played in all.
TuktukCongratulations, Baruabagh and Gaughat! Today the trophy rides free with me!
ChingariAnd in Rudrapur, the sunshine of relief. At the district hospital, the ultrasound that had been shut for about three months will start again from November 18. For now, a radiologist will come from another hospital every Wednesday.
ChingariAnd at the medical college, MRI scans will start within 15 days, at government rates. Ask about the timings and the slip at the registration counter.
ChingariNow from the district panchayat, a breeze of decisions. At the board meeting, a trenching ground was proposed in one village each in Sitarganj and Kashipur.
ChingariA dog catcher for stray dogs, and a vehicle to take stray cattle to cow shelters, were proposed too. Model schools are being built with about 16 crore rupees.
ChingariAnd absent officers' salaries have been ordered to be stopped.
TuktukA dog catcher is coming? Good, now the street dogs won't chase me!
RudruAnd absent? I come in every day, quilt and all!
ChingariAnd tomorrow's weather: banks will be closed on November 14. And the four-day Chhath festival began today with Nahay-Khay. Happy Chhath!
ChingariNo more weather talk now. Some sad news. At the Rudrapur district hospital, on Friday morning, a mobile shop owner was stabbed to death.
ChingariThere had been a dispute over a CCTV camera being put up at the neighbouring shop. It is alleged that the shop owner and his companions, who had brought an injured employee to the hospital, were attacked right there. Police are looking for the attackers.
ChingariAnd in a colony in Bhurarani, police have detained a man after a video of a gun being pointed at a woman went viral. Police say the gun turned out to be an air gun.
ChingariAnd finally, Rudru, any message from space?
RudruYes! I can see all of Rudrapur from here, and... my tea is getting cold! I'm coming down!
