I know this paper for last 25 years. it is only a Achayan paper nothing more than that. if you want to read a news to be like third rate novel then read MM news. the photos appear in sports pages are so ugly and shameful. now tennis tournement starts, you can see so many A photos of lady players. the news writers in this paper is a doll in the hands of MD. there is no freedom for them. if they are angry with someone then they started to demoralise that person/organisation. so I think the circulation they claiming is only a fake to get more advertisement profit. they can distribut the paper freely to all the readers because 60% of the newspaper covers advertisement and one have to give money for that paid advertisements.
