Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]
Mahaa TV news which is carrying public awareness program and debate sessions on ‘AP Special Category Status’ throughout the state met with an unfortunate incident. The Mahaa TV crew reached Vizianagaram yesterday and were preparing for today’s ‘Delhi Tho Dhee Ki Andhra Ready’ program with the locals.
The attack took place on the ZP Guest House, where the crew was lodging. According to the TV news channel, some anonymous invaders pelted stones towards the windows, damaging the property. In the attack, the channels vehicles, broadcasting equipment, and other technical equipment have been damaged.
The awareness program which is scheduled to start at 10:00 am today morning, has been postponed at 11: 30 am. The ‘Journalist Forum’ has criticized the attack and held the government responsible for failing to protect the spirit of journalism. On the same lines, Mahaa TV alleged that the attack is carried out by the supporters of BJP.
Meanwhile, few sections in media have raised doubts over the attack. With Mahaa TV claiming that there were no CCTV cameras installed at the ZP Guest House, and the absence of security personnel at the time of the attack is raising doubts over the genuineness of the attack.
