Who We Are

Dastak Media is a hyper-local digital news agency headquartered in the heart of the commercial hub—New Market, Kumardhubi, Jharkhand (PIN: 828203). We are a team of dedicated ground-level journalists, citizen reporters, and digital storytellers who believe that news loses its value if it doesn't serve the community.

Named "Dastak" (The Knock), we knock on every door, every lane, and every critical issue that impacts the people of Kumardhubi, the surrounding industrial belts of Dhanbad, and the broader Kolhan region.

Our Mission

To bridge the gap between the citizens of small-town Jharkhand and the truth. We aim to deliver fast, fearless, and factual reporting that holds power accountable while celebrating the unsung heroes of our locality.

We are not just a news outlet; we are a public service platform committed to:

• Local Governance: Covering municipality meetings, water/electricity issues, and road conditions.
• Safety & Crime: Real-time updates on law and order from Kumardhubi, Maithon, Chirkunda, and nearby police stations.
• Development: Tracking industrial growth, railway updates (Kumardhubi Railway Station), and infrastructure changes.
• Culture & Events: Showcasing Durga Puja, Chhath Puja, local business achievements, and school/college events.

Why Dastak Media?

In an era of national headlines, local issues often get lost. A pothole on New Market Road, a water crisis in a residential colony, or a heroic act by a local shopkeeper—these stories matter to you. We provide:

• Hyper-Local Focus: From Nimdih to Maithon Dam, if it happens within a 15 km radius of 828203, we are covering it.
• Ground Verification: We don't rely on phone calls. Our reporters are on the streets of Kumardhubi.
• Accessibility: We publish in Hindi & English to ensure every resident, from businessmen to students, stays informed.

Our Team

• Founder & Bureau Chief: A passionate journalist with deep roots in Kumardhubi, committed to ethical reporting.
• Ground Reporters: Local youth trained in digital journalism, covering the Dhanbad-Dumka corridor.
• Community Desk: Dedicated to receiving and verifying citizen complaints and "Public Demand" notices.
