Electronic media asked to be restraint

Ambika Soni, the central Minister for Information and Broadcasting met P Chidambaram and suggested that a nodal spokesperson be appointed to make announcements about the contents of the SKC report.

She told reporters that Chidambaram had agreed to the suggestion and that the spokesperson would work under the home ministry. “There will be a nodal spokesperson so that all channels get official information on the whole thing,” he said.

Ambica Soni appealed on behalf of the central government to the media to abide by the guidelines of the National Broadcasters Association and not telecast speculative stories, which may lead to untoward incidents. The rules and regulations for all 48 television channels and 4,800 cable operators in Andhra Pradesh have been alerted and asked to be restraint and abide by the guidelines.
