A rural newspaper 'Gaon Connection', has been launched. The 14-page weekly broadsheet was launched by Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav in Itaunja, a village near Lucknow, on Sunday. While the editor-in-chief is S.B. Misra, the paper is supposed to be the brain child of his son Neelesh Misra who was earlier with the HT and now a radio jockey.
