Sourav Mishra, a Reuters reporter, was with friends at the Cafe Leopold (in South Mumbai) when gunmen opened fire around 9:30 p.m. He has received injuries and is in St. George's Hospital.

 

"I heard some gunshots around 9:30. I was with my friends. Something hit me. I ran away and fell on the road. Then somebody picked me up. I have injuries below my shoulder," Mishra said from a hospital bed he was sharing with three other people.  (Source: Reuters News)

 

 

UPDATE: Sourav is from the 2002-03 English Journalism batch of IIMC, Dhenkanal. I spoke to him this morning. The doctors have removed the bullet and he is out of danger. Friends are with him and they are thinking of shifting him to another hospital in Navi Mumbai.

 

He is rechable over phone, but let's not bother him at this moment. Anyone concerned about his condition can call Abhishek Shanker (09920318300) or me (09818786430) for updates. I am based in Delhi, but in regular touch with our friends attending him. Let's pray for his speedy recovery.

The fest was a huge success! Those who missed it really missed a lot. The success  was the result of a lot of hard work, togetherness and love for the institute. Most of the current batch students put in their 200% to make this dream of ours a reality. We've been trying to organize this fest for the past two months; it's so hard to believe it is over.
 

A very big thank you to all the faculty and staff members for cooperating with us. All the alumni who visited us, I hope you've had a good time. I hope that this tradition of IIMC fest that we've started is followed by our successors, and we get to see ROARR reach a greater height when we come back as alumni next year.

For photos and news on the fest, please keep an eye on Delhi Times. There is an article in the Nov 25 edition already.
