Title: 35 SPINNING MILLS CLOSED IN SINDH
This is with reference to the above item written by Aziz Malik and published in your esteemed newspaper on Friday, Feb 10. The correspondent informs the readers that "according to a survey conducted by this correspondent", 35 spinning units have closed in Sindh. What is surprising is the fact that the Business Recorder also carried the same news, in exactly the same words, with the factories listed in exactly the same order, with exactly the same mistakes in the spelling of a couple of mills. However, in Business Recorder, the correspondent is Hafeez Shaikh, also from Hyderabad.
Could you please explain how two different people conducted the same survey, wrote an identical report, and had it, coincidentally, published in two different newspapers on the same day?
Yours etc:
