your news report is factually incorrect where you claim a “3 year contract between 2013-2016”. Please note that there has been no formal contract since 2006.
Prasar Bharati has decided to end its subscription to Press Trust of India, a move that it said was a commercial decision but is widely believed to have been hastened by differences over the wire service’s handling of news.
