Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur on Wednesday applauded the Indian media for its role during the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the 17th Asia Media Summit, via video conferencing, the Minister said that Indian media ensured that COVID awareness messages, important government guidelines and free consultations with doctors reached everyone in the country.
That Doordarshan and All India Radio significantly delivered on their mandate of public service was proved by their role in setting the trend through prompt coverage, ground reports and organising programmes on public health, he said.
