Reporters Without Orders Ep 377: Bihar voter roll revision, vandalism by Kanwariyas


Listen Later

This week, host Basant Kumar is joined by journalist Umesh Kumar Ray and Anmol Pritam.


Umesh shares his experience of reporting from ground zero in Bihar, where the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is underway ahead of the assembly elections. The way this massive exercise is being carried out, he says, is burdening the state’s people who are forced to prove their citizenship, creating a panic-like situation.


Anmol talks about his report on the chaos that unfolded after a piece of onion was found in a meal served to the Kanwariyas at the Baba Balaknath Dhaba in Muzaffarnagar, which triggered ​​vandalism of the dhaba, resulting in smashed chairs, tables, fridges, fans, and glass panels by the mob. The owner claimed that the Kanwariyas not only vandalised the dhaba but also brutally attacked their staff with hockey sticks, with a 40-year-old staff member ending up with a broken leg.


Tune in.
