| Shutting down Doordarshan, discrimination with Jammu: Shiv Sena | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 26: Calling it a conspiracy to harm the Duggar culture, Shiv Sena Jammu & Kashmir unit has strongly objected to the reported process of shutting down 'Doordarshan Jammu'. Sena has termed the decision as yet another page added to the history of discrimination against Jammu region and its people.
Addressing media persons during a press conference held at the party state office here today, J&K Shiv Sena State President, Manish Sahni said that the merger of Jammu Doordarshan with Kashir channel is a big betrayal by the government against the artists, producers, directors and last but not the least with the public of Jammu region.
He informed that as per the new set up, the telecast of 'Doordarshan Jammu' has been reduced from the existing four and a half hours to just half an hour, out of which 15 minutes will get consumed by news telecast alone. He castigated the government for taking such a step that would ultimately lead to unemployment of about thirty thousand artists, producer directors and technicians associated with Dogri programmes.
Sahni alleged that all this is a well thought out conspiracy formulated to harm the Duggar culture. He said that it is really an irony that on one hand the central government is contemplating installation of free DTH in marginal areas, while on the other hand regional telecasting is being stopped. He said that Dogri, Hindi, Punjabi, Bhaderwahi, Gojri, Pahari and Kashmiri programmes are being telecast from this station, in which people of this region can enjoy Dogri folk songs and music, Dogri plays and serials besides 360 private producers being associated with Doordarshan Jammu. |
