120 Indian journalists to cover Indo-Pak series
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has issued visas to 120
Indian journalists and media persons including TV commentators for
the coverage of forthcoming Pakistan-India cricket series from March
13.
The Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi has been advised to
facilitate issuance of visas to the Indian media representatives a
spokesman for the Ministry of Information said.
The Ministry is acting in close coordination with the Pakistan
cricket board and the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory
Authority, he said adding special arrangements have been made to
facilitate the journalists.
The Pakistan Cricket Board sources said the contractual obligation
of the PCB with the Ten Sports TV channel, which has the exclusive
telecast rights, prevents it from allowing any other camera crew to
cover the matches including the warming up sessions.
"No other foreign TV channel is being allowed visas to cover
the matches, he said. The spokesman said the Indian state channel
Doordarshan would be allowed visas if they send in their
applications, but added, "they will not have access to the
stadium on account of the telecast rights being held by Ten Sports
channel."
