‘It affects secrecy of the operation and puts forces, people in danger'

The Union government is likely to ban live coverage of anti-terror operations by television channels soon. Citing the difficulties caused by such coverage during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, the Home Ministry has asked the Information and Broadcasting Ministry to amend the Programme Code under the Cable Television Network Rules to ban live telecast of terror-related operations.

In its letter sent about a month ago, the Home Ministry said such live coverage not only affected the secrecy and effectiveness of the operation but also put the safety of the security forces, the common people and journalists in jeopardy, official sources said.

The I&B Ministry is yet to reply to the letter. After the 26/11 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.

The Home Ministry is asking for more changes to the 15-point Programme Code. The Cable Television Network Rules, 1994, were amended in 2009 when private broadcasters were brought within its ambit. During the Mumbai terror attacks, TV channels gave live coverage.
