Shantaram Naik expresses happiness over Doordarshan bulletin
FOR THE FAVOUR OF PUBLICATION
Mr Shantaram Naik M.P. and Secretary AICC, who is presently touring
Udupi-Chikmangalur Lok Sabha Constituency where a by election is
scheduled for 18th March, has in a statement issued from Chikmangalur,
expressed happiness that Panaji Doordarshan, has at last started
relaying Konkani news bulletin from the Doordarshan Kendra from today.
Mr Naik said that from starting of a Programe Generating facility 20
years back to a full-fledged studio and now news-bulletin, it was a long
journey full of hurdles.
Goa should have had these facilities, as of right, without any
hindrances, the State being an internationally known tourist destination
and in recent years, hosting International Film Festival.
Mr Naik said in case of the three projects, he has played his humble
role and, in each case the problems were enormous.
The last hurdle was created by the Election Commission when they refused
to grant permission to telecast it a few weeks back citing Code of
Conduct. In fact, Election Commission should have realized that the
decision to telecast news bulletin was taken a year back and Doordarshan
Panaji Kendra had not organized any inauguration ceremony.
Mr Naik said that Doordarshan is the only channel which gives coverage
to the government activities which are of national and state importance.
Mr Naik has wished Dordarshan Kendra all the success.
