Mangaluru, Aug 03: The staff members of Akashvani on Friday held a demonstration in front of the main entrance of the Mangaluru Akashvani Center demanding solutions for multiple issues including delay in job promotions, the appointment of outsourced staff, and deduction in compensation.

“The staff members, which have not got promotions for 25-30 years, must immediately be given the promotions. The broadcasting operators who served for 20 years must be given two promotions and be made as Assistant Directors. The programme managers, who have completed four years, must get increments. Those who have been temporarily sent to some other departments must be called back immediately,” the staff demanded.  

Out of 810 top posts in the Indian Broadcasting Service, eight positions permanent and 260 are working as temporary staff. The remaining team has been filled temporarily from other departments. By not filling the required vacancies in scheduled time, Akashvani and Doordarshan are in trouble; due to which it is unable to give the departmental promotions. Only 15 percent of the total budget allocated to the Prasar Bharati is being spent on programmes, it must be increased; they demanded.

Secretary T Shyam Prasad, Joint Secretary Devu Hanehalli, Treasurer Shubhada D. Rai, members Ushalata Sarapady, Sadananda Holla, Suryanarayana Bhat, Cancepta Fernandes, Dr.Sharbendra Swami and Dr. Sadananda Perla and others participated in the protest.

New Delhi: Tesla CEO Elon Musk has commended India's election process for its efficiency in counting 640 million votes in a single day. In a post on X, Musk compared this feat with California's delayed vote-counting process, stating, "India counted 640 million votes in 1 day. California is still counting votes."

The comment came in response to an X post featuring an article titled, "How India Counted 640 Million Votes in a Day," accompanied by the caption, "Meanwhile in India, where cheating isn’t the primary goal of their elections."

California, which had 16 million voters participating in its November 5 election, is still processing over 300,000 ballots after 18 days. Reports indicate that around 570,000 ballots remain uncounted statewide, with delays attributed to the labor-intensive validation of mail-in votes.
