"Take Photos, Why Make Video?" UP Official On 'Roti And Salt' In School | Read

Amid outrage over a journalist being charged for his video showing roti and salt being served to children at a school in Uttar Pradesh, a top official has added to the display of callousness with his comments. In a video taken on August 22 at the school in Mirzapur, young children are seen sitting on the floor eating rotis with salt served as midday meal under a flagship scheme of the central government. Pawan Jaiswal, who works with a local Hindi daily, Jansandesh Times, has been charged with conspiracy for shooting the video. A representative of the village head has also been charged and arrested.
