Media likely to be banned from showing file footage of Babri Mosque demolition
MUMBAI:
Maharashtra government will write to the Centre for a ban on telecast of file footage and pictures of demolition of Babri Masjid as a part of security measures ahead of the verdict scheduled on September 24.
"We are writing to the Centre to ban the file footage and pictures of demolition of the masjid. The issue is very sensitive and the Government would take all possible measures to avoid any untoward incident," a Home Department official today said.
The state Government is also taking strict actions against spreading rumours, provoking SMSs and e-mails which are already being forwarded about the verdict or commenting on the religion, the official said.
The Home Department has organised series of meetings with police tomorrow to review the law and order situation across the state.
Chief Minister Ashok Chavan has convened a meeting with editors of all the media houses, religious and political leaders to help maintaining peace after the verdict, he said.
"The actual preparation would start after Ganesh immersion on September 22. The city and some sensitive parts in the state are put on high alert after the Delhi firing yesterday," the official said.
