New PCI Chief Asks Centre To Defer Action On Channels' Licence

New Delhi, Oct 10: Press Council of India Chairman Justice(retd) Markandeya Katju today asked the union government to defer it move to amend the rules relating to renewal of licence for TV news channels for violating the broadcasting code.

In an informal interaction with media at his residence, Justice Katju said “harsh measures” against the media should be resorted to only in extreme situations.

“No doubt, if the media proves incorrigible, harsh measures may be required but in my opinion that should be resorted to only as a last resort and in extreme situations. Ordinarily, we should first try to resolve the issues by discussion, consultation and self-regulation.
