The Times of India has taken the new initiative by acquiring the stake in tour and travel companies of India. Its stake in Travelchacha.com will boost the online travel portal where Indian tourist destinations have to become the must see place among the world itineraries.

Times of India becoming a Cricket-Sports Portal?

I was visiting Times of India site recently and have found news only about Cricket and Sports. No news about any other important Indian stories like the Nuclear Deal, the Delhi Politics, no Mumbais news, no social or inflation, food crisis etc.

What is happening TOI?

thank you
