* The association demands lifting of restrictions on media immediately
* They decide to frame rules of telecast for the channels

The Telugu News Broadcasters' Association was constituted on Saturday in the backdrop of curbs imposed on TV channels by the government citing the advisory by News Broadcasters Association not to telecast scenes that could flare up emotions of people over the Srikrishna Committee report.

Heads of eight TV channels, who met here to form the association, resolved to submit memoranda to Central and State governments not to curb their fundamental and democratic rights in the name of implementing NBA rules.

It was also decided to frame rules of telecast for the channels in the subsequent meetings. The meeting demanded the governments to lift the restrictions immediately as they went against the spirit of democracy and freedom of expression guaranteed by the Constitution.
