Vulgar Display; The Assam Tribune;Letters to the Editor; 24th June,2005

Sir,
Recently many social organisations and student associations protested against NE TV for showing certain obscene pictures explicitly . That such scenes would be shown so explicitly was totally unexpected from NE TV which is a family channel. No doubt, its attempt was to make the society aware but it could have been done in a different way also, without showing such vulgar scenes.
The society is going astray as the people are degrading morally day by day and TV, internet and camera mobile-sets are contributing in this regard. So, as responsible citizens of the society, we must take certain stringent steps to protect the society from all sort of evils.
The protests against NE TV are no doubt, justified because we should not entertain any form of vulgarity and nudity shown on the TV screen. But at the same time we should not forget that nudity and vulgarity are regularly shown on channels like FTV, Trendz, etc. So we must raise our voice against these channels which caters to the vulgar taste.

Yours etc.,
