A small rainfall in mumbai ( which is normal for this time of the year) has started making headlines with all news cahnnels since last night. But it has been for days without fuel in chennai .There are traffic jams across the roads. petrol pumps are shut down & there are queues outside the petrol bunks.Bus service is cut down by 30% even though thry say they have sufficient diesel supply. There are no vegetables in the shop. The city is expected to come to a grinding Halt in the next 24 Hours & not one news channel has put this as their headline.If this had happened in Delhi /Mumbai there would be a non stop telecast of the same. But it seems for the news that should have been the headline of every channel it has been relegated to only a fleeting mention on NDTV. Strange but even carla bruni or Naomi campbell/Paris Hilton get more coverage when they do something stupid. But a serious situation which is developing into a major crisis is being ignored.Will the so called indian news channels please wake up & question the authorities on this issue. It there is an oil glut it has to be for the entire country not only one city. Can Mr. Deora , Mr. Chidambaram or my neighbour Mr. Karunanidhi explain this situation to the general public of chennai.

All the news channels are covering this news today....I agree that it should have made the headlines much before this....Spain winning the Euro Cup is not as importaant for us as much as the petrol supply...
