The Shri Amarnathji Yatra 2024 has officially concluded, with over 5 lakh pilgrims visiting the shrine in 52 days. Huge thanks to all stakeholders, local communities, and government agencies for ensuring a secure, comfortable, & zero-waste Yatra. Grateful to the team for support
Imagine you can’t eat because of fear of being poisoned; you can’t pray because you might get shot; you can’t work because you could be killed; you can’t take a walk because someone might be waiting; you can’t do anything but wait for Yamaraj. Spare a thought for terrorists
A Rajouri woman is currently in ‘news’ for alleged multiple marriages. I haven’t seen the level of irresponsible and disrespectful reporting as scaled up in this case.
Sadly, there is no media watchdog to take cognisance of this brazenness. It is not only absolute violation of the media ethics but also breach of social and civil norms. The poor woman does not appear to be capable enough to seek injunctions against intrusion into her privacy. Her life could well be at risk if this blatant character assassination does not stop.
The society at large should know this is no journalism. Those who are taking pleasure in this story are approving and normalising these new low standards of reporting which pose danger to any civilised society. If it all there is a public interest involved, if there is a scam, the reporters should investigate the story, take note of all evidences, speak to the law enforcement authorities and then go on air with some decency and civility.
I am also aware of the bitter fact anyone pointing out these reporters eventually himself becomes target of their wrath, but if they are feared like this then be sure no one is going to escape their crackdown.
