In his letter Mr. Mohan added that “the Media Personns are the back bone of a society. Through their reporting, they reflect the real picture of the society before the public and draw attention of the pillars of the society to get remedial solutions for the people of the society. Some times for their excellent jobs in revealing many surprising events, they get legal notices from the affected person to divert their mind and to give them un-wanted mental stress.”
