Marking four decades of the declaration of Emergency, Doordarshan News is all set to telecast a series of special programmes on the 1975–77 Emergency period.
To be aired between 23 and 27 June in certain time slots, the special set of programmes includes a documentary, interviews with prominent people including political leaders and journalists who had witnessed the Emergency period, discussion-based programmes and audience-focused shows.
Doordarshan has set up a special desk for these special programmes. Stories related to the happenings during the Emergency period will be shown during the regular DD News bulletins.
“One of the objectives of these special programmes is to educate the younger generation about the value of democracy because they have themselves not undergone such periods of turmoil,” senior consulting editor DD News KG Suresh told PTI.
The programmes will deal with the events and happenings in the 21-month period, when the then Indira Gandhi-led government had declared the Emergency.
The Emergency came into effect from 25 June 1975 and was withdrawn on 21 March 1977.
