An activist has submitted an RTI application about 'abrupt interruption' in the audio feed of the RS Proceeding on RSTV during consideration of Farmers’ Bills. #RajyaSabha
CPWD, which maintains the facility, clarifies that the feed was disrupted between 13:05 Hrs to 13:35 Hrs on 20 Sept, 2020 due to the damages caused to the microphones (mics) at the Chairman’s seat by some of the Hon'ble MPs.
As directed by the chair, no other MIC was ON at that very time except that of Hon'ble Chairman. So when these MICS were broken, there was no audio output from the system to RSTV. It took nearly half an hour to restore this after following necessary protocols.
Rajya Sabha Secretariat had been clarified accordingly by CPWD on 19.10.2020.
Hence, loss of audio in RSTV feed is purely due to technical reasons. Assigning any other motive to this is mischievous.
One would further advise caution & restraint to such activists who try to look for conspiracies where none exist.
