Prasar Bharati Bars Employees From Talking To Media Without Permission

Prasar Bharti has barred all the employees of All India Radio (AIR) and Doordarshan (DD) from interacting with media without prior permission from "the competent authority". Prasar Bharti had issued two such orders earlier also - first in November 2019 and second in February this year. Reportedly, it issued fresh orders after violations of its previous orders came to its knowledge. "This lapse has been viewed very seriously," read the order.
