Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Saturday called upon the Kalinga TV, a 24*7 regional news channel, to be a constructive media organisation thereby helping the Government in solving the issues of the people.
Patnaik, after formally launching the Kalinga TV here stated, “It will be not wrong to say that it is a golden period for the media sector. A constructive media organisation not only proves good for poor and downtrodden but also helps the Government in addressing different issues timely.”
“Growth of media is a good sign for democracy. I hope the Kalinga TV will be successful in raising such issues, besides spreading art and culture of the Odisha,” he said. He also stated that media houses have created a good market for them and also earned popularity despite competitions.
Information and Public Relations Minister Atanu Sabyasachi Nayak called upon the new channel to be impartial and fact-oriented.
Bhubaneswar MP Prasanna Patasani hoped that the regional Kalinga TV channel would reach to national level soon. Kalinga TV founder Dr Achyuta Samanta maintained that the channel would be an impartial and pro-poor one.
