Kuki Students' Organization (KSO) GHQ has decided to lift the ban imposed on the Imphal-based daily The Sangai Express and private new channel Information Service Television Network (ISTV) for their alleged failure to report the recent Haorang Kairel killing incident in an appropriate way.
The decision came after the two media houses tendered an apology through publication and telecast on Friday, said a press statement signed by Seiboi Haokip, general secretary, KSO-GHQ.
The two media houses expressed their deepest regrets in hurting the sentiments of the Kuki community by owning up their mistakes and assured to make sincere attempts to avoid such mistakes in future, added the statement.
Nevertheless, the KSO is resolute that it will not hesitate to ban the two media houses again if they ever engage in biased and unethical reporting in future, warned the student body.
