NTCA blacklists BBC journalists, feels poaching report projected things at Kaziranga in a bad way

BBC journalists face issues after running an article on Assam's Kaziranga National Park, NTCA feels it showed KNP in bad light.

The memo - issued on February 13 - said the BBC News South-Asia Bureau sought a permission from it to accompany and film the 'Task Force' of KNP as it undertakes night patrol to protect the tiger and rhinoceros at the reserve.

However, the crew "deviated from the original synopsis and dishonoured the undertaking provided," said the order.

Dr Satyendra Singh, director, Kaziranga Tiger Reserve, said, "In the article, the immunity provided to forest officials under Section 197 of the CrPC has been misconstrued as a 'shoot-to-kill' policy. We also learnt later that they dramatised the situation and forced our guards to make statements for the camera."

Rohini Saikia, divisional forest officer, Eastern Assam, said his department was really upset with the projection of things in a wrong way.


"BBC has displayed scant understanding of the laws in place. The KNP or tiger reserve authorities are not uprooting villages or locals. The truth is that they are only working as per court orders to evict encroachers," said Rohit Choudhury, wildlife activist from Assam.
