Question

Pretend that you are a journalist for a newspaper and write a balanced story from the two news reports.

Answer 1

1. The closure of one lakh factories in the city’s residential areas led the factory owners and workers together on Monday in the streets and protest the closure.
2. The closure of the factories is going to destroy the means of livelihoods of lakhs of owners and workers.
3.  The government has decided to shift the factories to another area and not close them forever.
4. Because these factories are polluting the city. It has become a major hindrance in making the city clean and green to develop it as India’s new business centre.
5. But Mr Sharma, one of the factory owners said, “The government says that it has done a lot to relocate us. But the areas the government is willing to send us to, have no adequate facilities and not been developed for the last five years.” So it is a serious issue both for providing livelihood to the factory owners and the workers and to making the city clean and green.
6. The government should take the necessary steps to provide adequate facilities for relocation. And the factory owners and workers should accept the relocation offered instead of protesting.
