0

In a relief to NTV chairman Narendra Chowdary Tummala, the Telangana High Court on Wednesday directed Hyderabad city police not to arrest him in the case pertaining to alleged irregularities in Jubilee Hills Cooperative House Building Society (JHCHBS).

The police recently filed FIR on Chowdhary naming him as A-1 (Accused No.1) stating that he resorted to several irregularities in JHCHBS, while he was heading the society until recently.

The Chowdhary-headed panel lost the recent society elections and the new society filed a case against Chowdhary in the High Court after the police did not file FIR against Chowdhary even after lodging a complaint against him.

The irregularities include converting open spaces into plots, allotting commercial space to few persons for nominal rents, diversion of society funds, disqualifying society members and removing their voting rights illegally, leasing of lands, collection of money illegally etc.

The society is spread over 1,195 acres in posh Jubilee Hills in Hyderabad and has 5,000 members.

Fearing arrest anytime, Chowdhary approached High Court seeking anticipatory bail.

Justice Sridevi, who heard the petition ordered to post the petition before first vacation court as summer vacation was declared for High Court.

She directed the police not to arrest Chowdhary until the vacation court hears the petition.

After “Koti Deepotsavam”, NTV employees’ future turned dark

0

NTV, one of the leading channels in Telugu, has recently finished Koti Deepotsavam program. Few days after this program has finished, reporters of the channel received messages on their mobile phones that they got transferred to some distant place. This created almost a panic among the employees of the channel. Details as below:

Employees of the channel, have been working really hard for last few months, not only because of the work as required by their job role but also because of the marriage of daughter of their owner Narendra chowdary . As soon as the marriage is over, NTV started this Koti Deepotsavam program that pulled down the ratings of the channel. As Koti Deepotsavam was telecast most of the time on their channel, it’s obvious that viewership and ratings came down for the channel. Now NTV management wants to cut down the costs as ratings and revenues impacted. But instead of directly sacking the employees, they sketched this master plan, according to which, the employees were suddenly transferred to distant places. So now employees have no option but to either report at the new location immediately or put papers and search for a new job.

Apparently shocked employees now fuming at their management for transferring in the middle of the academic year as it will affect the studies of their kids. Also they were hurt as they worked even for the personal works of Narendra Chowdary’s family. Still they are in a catch 22 situation and unable to decide whether to report at new office or put papers.

Jagan meets NTV Chowdary, TV9 Ravi Prakash next

Jagan meets NTV CEO

Telugu360 exclusive revealed that Jagan convened a meeting with the CEOs/editors of electronic media at his Lotus Pond residence on Tuesday.

More and more details of these meetings are coming out from insiders now.

Jagan after Tuesday’s meeting, now started meeting Telugu media bosses personally. As per T360 sources, he went to NTV Narendra nath chowdary house yesterday evening. He requested support for his pada yatra. Before 2014, NTV Neilson org surveys in fact predicted Jagan to become CM and those survey results were widely telecast in NTV. NTV might have give good coverage for Jagan’s foot march as usual.

He also requested appointment with TV9 Ravi Prakash. As per sources in the know, he didn’t reply. Then Jagan tried reaching out to him through some common contacts. Interesting to see if he can audience with the CEO of the perennial ratings topper in electronic media. Interesting to note just an year back Jagan used to Pooh Pooh Ravi Prakash in his Sakshi channel. If one can recall, there was one “special program” in TV9 during (around) 2012 in which they thrown light on Lotus pond’s extravagance and they mentioned there is a bar inside this Jagan’s house and that has expensive imported liquor bottles. Then Konda Surekha and Shobha Nagi Reddy (then YSRCP leaders) challenged TV9 saying, “There is no bar inside Jagan’s house. He doesn’t drink at all. So TV9 has to either show bottles and prove their story is correct or say sorry to Jagan and shut down their TV channel”. They tried to ignore YSRCP leaders’ challenge but Sakshi reminded it every day in their channel and started even scathing stories on TV9. One of their “Special story on TV9” alleged that in South Africa, TV9 is illegally telecasting without proper permissions from the government there and Sakshi has all the evidences. TV9 had given explanation for that incident and told that they are not violating any government law anywhere. Then again, in a Public meeting Jagan told – “one more “R” joined anti-Jagan camp now, that is “Ravi Prakash”. Previously it was only Ramoji and Radha Krishna”.

Now all this is the past and Jagan is trying hard to get appointment of Ravi Prakash. We have to wait and see what more unfolds!!!

KTR gives a piece of mind to NTV and TV9

A video of a policeman brutally beating a person surfaced on social media. A twitter user requested Minister Municipal Administration & Urban Development Kalvakuntla Taraka Rama Rao to look into the issue. An active user on twitter, the minister asked the Telangana DGP to probe into the issue and also assured stringent action against officials if the alleged video turns out to be factual. However, while the investigation was in progress, Telugu media houses including top channels like TV9 and NTV broadcasted the news belittling the Telangana police.

This of course did not go down well with KTR, as the video being broadcasted was from Rajasthan. He gave a piece of mind to the channels by saying that they are trying to cause irreparable damage to government institutions and requested the media outlets to do fact checking before broadcasting. He not only enlightened them but also asked them to issue a riposte in the next broadcast correcting their mistake. While the rejoinder from the TV channels is awaited, the IT minister advised people not to believe everything seen on social media.

This is just another incident in recent times, where the news channels have been publishing news based on the videos surfaced on social media without fact checking. Surprisingly TV9 which runs “Edi Viral Edi Real” where the fact check videos surfaced on social media got carried away this time.

KTR who is active not only on social media, ardently follows the national and local media. Recently he took a jibe at national media saying that “98% of India is outside of Delhi”. It is high time for the news outlets ensure to scrutinize their broadcast especially the news based on social media.
