A group of North East TV producers on Friday sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi's intervention to re-initiate the Doordarshan Commission programme for North East, which was stopped in 2012.
A group of producers met Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma at his officer here conveying through him to the PM the plight of the TV producers and the TV technicians in the region.
In a formal petition, 29 TV producers from all NE states said, "Many TV technicians like Cameraman, Video Editor, Music Director... are without any job after the commission programme of Doordarshan was stopped in 2012. It is only befitting to reinitiate the North East Special Software Development package, which was started in 1996."
The chief minister assured them that he will take up the matter with appropriate authority.
He said, "In view of the Act East Policy of Government of India, it is only appropriate that the North East is showcased in right earnest to the rest of the country and the world.
