Apart from Patna, The Indian Express publishes from 10 other centers – Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Delhi, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur, Pune and Vadodara.
Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar launched the Patna edition at a function at his residence, The Indian Express reported. “I am delighted at the launch of Patna edition of The Indian Express. It is good that the newspaper has come to Patna. I have been an avid reader of the newspaper since my college days. Good journalism empowers the citizen and is fundamental to good governance,” the newspaper quoted him as saying.
Group chairman and managing director Viveck Goenka said Bihar always had a very special place in founder Ramnath Goenka’s heart. “The Patna edition will draw on our rich history to tell the story of the exciting future of a state and its people.”
