“Take over” or “take off”??? Car cannot take off like aeroplanes. “Their he reportedly took out a pistol and stopped Prasanta”. There or their??? There are so many mistakes in the sentences. You must look into these kind of mistakes being a media house that represents the whole Manipur. Please engage suitable person who can at least write/edit proper English.
