Ensure balanced coverage of 26/11 anniv, Govt tells TV channels
New Delhi | Saturday, Nov 21 2009 IST
 

As the first anniversary of the 26/11 attacks draws close, the Government has urged television channels to ensure ''balanced and responsible'' coverage while showing programmes on the incident, as the trial related to it is still on.

In an advisory issued to all TV channels, the Information and Broadcasting Ministry said, ''On the occasion of the first anniversary of the terror attacks in Mumbai on November 26, 2009, it is likely that special programmes, news items, talk shows and interviews would be telecast to highlight the incidents of last year.'' (As) the investigation and trial of the terror attacks in Mumbai are still in progress, it is, therefore, important to ensure a balanced and responsible coverage in any special programme likely to be telecast on the anniversary of the Mumbai attacks," it added.
