Women scribes protest against ban on TV channels
Women scribes protest against ban on TV channels, The protesting journalists, who were holding placards inscribed with slogans that read ‘Don’t kill media in Telangana’ also shouted slogans against the police for their highhanded behaviour against them.

Hyderabad: Police arrested several women journalists who were staging silent protest against the ban on two television channels - TV9 and ABN Andhrajyothy - in front of the Chief Minister’s residence at Begumpet here on Tuesday. The police stopped the scribes and shifted them to Goshamahal police station.
It may be recalled that the two channels have been barred by MSOs (Multiple System Operators) in June for their alleged anti-Telangana stance. The MSOs refused to budge even after the Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar gave them a directive to resume the telecast of the channels.
The protesting journalists, who were holding placards inscribed with slogans that read ‘Don’t kill media in Telangana’ also shouted slogans against the police for their highhanded behaviour against them.
Meanwhile, the issue also figured at a function that was attended by Telangana IT and Panchayat Raj Minister K Taraka Ramarao at Paryatak Bhavan. When some scribes asked if the government would intervene and resolve the issue, KTR shot back saying, “You have an issue with the MSOs. You better settle it with them.”
The reporters attended the meeting with their mouths covered with black ribbons. The journalists later met the Governor ESL Narasimhan and complained to him against the behavior of the police. However, journalists, speaking to media, said that the Governor had responded positively on the issues raised by them.
