Jammu and Kashmir High Court warns on TV hysteria'

Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir High Court has directed the state government to take action against those national TV news channels which have created “hysteria” about Kashmir and its people. It said reportage by a section of these channels had pushed the Valley’s young IAS officer Shah Faesal, who topped the prestigious civil service examination in his maiden attempt in 2009, “to the edge”.

A division bench of the High Court made it clear that the media is not above the law and needs to be made aware of it.'
