Press Information Bureau
The PIB (Press Information Bureau) has become a useless institution. It churns out press releases that are absolutely unfit to be published. The PIB offices are least helpful to the journalists or the newspapers. In fact, the bundle of press releases of PIB is usually shown the way to dustbin in most of the newspaper offices. It has become such a joke that as soon as PIB releases arrive in the offices, the journos do not give a glance before throwing them. What's the use of running this institution?
