Live TV coverage
of anti-terror ops
may be banned
NEW DELHI, DEC 31/-/ Live coverage of anti-terror
operations by television channels is likely to be banned
soon as the Home Ministry has asked the Information and
Broadcasting Ministry to amend the rules to stop such
telecast. Citing the unpleasant experience during 26/11
Mumbai terror attacks when news channels broadcast NSG
operations live, the Home Ministry told the I&B Ministry
to amend the Programme Code under the Cable Television
Network Rules so that no terror-related operation is telecast
live in future.
In its letter, the Home Ministry said such live coverage
not only affects the secrecy and effectiveness of the
operation but also puts the safety of security forces,
common people and jour nalists in jeopardy, official sources
said. However, the I&B Ministry is yet to respond to the
Home Ministry's request sent about a month ago. After the
26/11 Mumbai attacks, the National Broadcaster
Association put out a set of rules, including restriction on
live reporting of terror situations, as part of a self-regulation
exercise on the part of private broadcasters. However, so far
there is no official ban on live coverage of anti-terror
operations. The Home Ministry is asking for more changes
to the 15-point Programme Code prescribed under the Cable
Television Network Rules, 1994 for this purpose. The rules
were amended in 2009 when private broadcasters were
brought within the ambit of the Cable Television Networks
Rules.
During the Mumbai terror attacks, television channels
had broadcast live images, including the moves by
security forces, para-dropping of commandos, which led the
authorities to intervene and stop it. PTI
