In his video statement, he said, “It is a large campus covering two lakh square feet. In June, Ravi Kishan, who is MP from Gorakhpur, visited Gita Press.
Gita Press Gorakhpur is doing well, and we prefer to serve the community with our books,” he added. “If someone sends us a cheque as a donation, we humbly reply to them with a letter of appreciation and return the cheque. Since 2015, we have expanded our Press exponentially and even during Covid time, we have installed a new German Printing Press.” He further added that they had to remove their account details from the website because people had started sending donations. Tiwari said, “Every now and then, we hear such rumours have found the way back to the social media platforms. The case should have been ended there, but the rumours never stopped. The case went to the authorities, and later it was found that the Gita Press was paying above the minimum wages as suggested by the government. Tiwari told OpIndia that the root of the rumour goes back to 2015 when some of the employees went on strike.Īt that time, they had alleged that the publication house was not paying them enough.
OpIndia has recently got in touch with Lalmani Tiwari, the Manager of Gita Press and talked in detail about the Press and the rumours that often find their way to the social media platforms about its closure. The rumours that Gita Press is shutting down are absolutely baseless. published by Gita Press.” Another post claimed that they were looking for donations and urged the public to donate to Gita Press. We can’t get even a tea of fewer than 10 rs, but you can get Hanuman Chalisa for 1 or 2 Rs. Gita Press is not in a position to pay if Gita press closes, that will be a great loss to the Hindu religion.
Different posts on social media platforms such as Twitter, WhatsApp and others are making rounds that Gita Press Gorakhpur is about to close.
