The broadcast of programmes and news of All India Radio were affected today following the boycott of duties by employees affiliated to the National Federation of Akashvani and Doordarshan Employees, NFADE, an umbrella organisation of 21 service associations of AIR and Doordarshan. They are demanding the repeal of Prasar Bharati Act alleging contradictions in the Act and the question of its relevance in the present scenario. However, another group, Akashvani and Doordarshan Employees Federation, ADEF, has said in a release that they are opposed to the demand for repealing the Prasar Bharati Act and are not participating in the agitation.
