Around 50 mediapersons from here were taken to DSSC this morning by the state government officials. But security and Defence personnel at the venue asked them to leave their mobile phones and cameras, including those of the TV crew, outside.
Protesting this, nearly 45 mediapersons walked out of the campus, saying they would boycott the President's function.
However, they gave up the protest after an officer of the college intervened and were allowed into the venue with the cameras and mobile phones.
