Ranchi MP Sanjay Seth met Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar in New Delhi on Thursday demanding the telecast of Doordarshan to be made 24 hours in Jharkhand.
Seth said that this channel is the source of entertainment and knowledge of the people. “The shows on this channel are appreciated by the audience. Programmes on DD Jharkhand focus on the culture, farmers, labourers and regional news and is the only channel in the State for shows related to its ethnic society. Since it is not broadcasted for 24 hours, people do not get information about the development programmes of the Centre and State on time,” said the MP.
Seth further added that if the channel is broadcast for 24 hours, it will benefit the people of Jharkhand in a lot of ways. The Union Minister has assured that the 24 hour broadcasting of Doordarshan will be started soon in Jharkhand.
