      famous. Today, we all came to know many new things about the familiarity of Mangalagiri ; Sarees. Because of this textile industry, Mangalagiri gets a special place. As far as the weavers are concerned, they are facing many problems. They are facing tough competition. They are facing the challenges such as change in fashion, scarcity of raw material and the involvement of middle men. Oh, God ! Please help them with their work. Please make them get rid of their problems.

      Vizag: 20th March, 20xx (Lakshmi) : The Times of India News Service<\/p>\n

      Vizag is no more a safe city once it used to be. Daylight robberies have become a part of the cultural life of the city. Cases of robbery have become very common. Yesterday, a daring daylight robbery was committed in Telephone Colony, on the outskirts of the city. It was 11.30 am. The robbers broke open a side door and entered the house. They asked for the keys of the cupboards and boxes. They had revolvers and daggers in their hands. Women and children became dumb with fear. The robbers finished their jobs within minutes.<\/p>\n

      They decamped with all the jewellery and about twenty five thousand rupees in cash. Before running away, they locked the inmates in a room. The neighbours rushed to help only when they heard their cries. The police came an hour late. No one believes if the lost valuables and money would be recovered. The people have doubts about the honest and sincere working of the police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
