Delhi HC asks PB to resume all Channels & AIR stations

The Delhi HC on Wednesday asked the Prasar Bharti to treat as a representation plea seeking to resume all channels, stations, services and units of All India Radio (AIR) discontinued during the Covid-19 pandemic. The PIL was moved against the closing down of the National Channel of All India Radio and its Regional Academies at Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Shillong and Thiruvananthapuram, without conducting any assessment. PB arbitrarily and irrationally halted the broadcasting services from the AIR Chhatarpur, AIR Shahdol and AIR Betul stations.
