Indian media faces flak

KATHMANDU: Indian media is facing flak for its coverage of the earthquake disaster in Nepal with complaints in the social media that it was treating the tragedy as a “public relations exercise” on behalf of the Indian Government.



Kathmandu, May 3

Indian media is facing flak for its coverage of the earthquake disaster in Nepal with complaints in the social media that it was treating the tragedy as a “public relations exercise” on behalf of the Indian Government.

As Nepal picks up pieces in the aftermath of last month’s devastating earthquake that killed over 7,000 people and injured more than 14,000, some have picked holes in the “relentless and aggressive” coverage by Indian media.

By Sunday evening #GoHome IndianMedia, which was created on Twitter for slamming the Indian media, was the top trending hashtag in Nepal with 60,000 tweets on the topic. — PTI
