नवभारत टाइम्स के पॉलिटिकल एडिटर अभिमन्यु शितोले जी इनके देहांत की खबर बेहद दुखद है. मेरा उनसे बहुत पुराना परिचय था. सटीक पत्रकारिता के लिए वे जाने जाते थे.
मैं उन्हें भावपूर्ण श्रद्धांजलि अर्पण करता हूँ.
इस कठिन समय हम सब उनके परिवारजनों के साथ हैं. उनके दुख में शामिल है.

Shitole began his journalism career in Gwalior, moving on to work with Dopahar Ka Saamna in Mumbai, where he worked across various beats for over 15 years. He later joined TV9 Marathi and had been associated with the Times Group’s Navbharat Times for several years. As the Political Editor of NBT’s Mumbai edition, he played a key role in shaping political coverage.

Beyond journalism, he made significant contributions to Hindi literature and culture. He was elected twice as a committee member of The Mumbai Press Club. His demise is a great loss to both Marathi and Hindi journalism.
