#GoHomeIndianMedia: Indian Media Faces Flak For Insensitive Coverage Of Nepal Earthquake

Palash Biswas


Nepal defends it sovereignty and Nepal asks all nations to end rescue operations!Mind you ,Nepal has been reduced to a diplomatic battleground and soverein Nepalese people refuses to include itself in Hindutva empire once again for which RSS and its governance of fascism launched an unprecedented capture Nepal campaign and took over governance there.


Emergency was declared without informing the President.


Indian army was called without informing the President.


Further,the rescue operations turned to be multinational espionage project.


Nepalese peopel who felt the taste of sovereignty and democracy ending the Monarchy,could not bear it and launched an aggressive campaign #goindiamedia.


Now it has been developed a #goindia campaign as Modi tried to repeat an Indira act of Bagngladesh fame and ended in Rajiv`s Peace Keeping act in Srilanka.


On Monday, Kathmandu authorities requested all the 34 countries involved in rescue operations in Nepal to call off their operations. However,Nepal has requested India for equipments to remove the huge pile of rubble and help the country in its rehabilitation process. 



Eight days after a devastating earthquake hit the Himalayan country, Nepal has on Monday called off its search and rescue operation. Nepalese authorities reckon there can be no more survivors. 


Media reports say that Nepal government on Monday urged foreign rescue workers in the quake-hit capital to return home as hundreds of people visited Buddhist shrines and monasteries to mark the birthday of Gautam Buddha. 


Information minister Minendra Rijal said the major rescue work in Kathmandu and surrounding areas have been completed and that the remaining operations can be handled by local workers. However, work remained in the villages and remote mountain areas and foreign aid volunteers could work with local police and army rescuers in those areas, he said. 


Since the April 25 earthquake, 4,050 rescue workers from 34 different nations have flown to Nepal to help in rescue operations, provide emergency medical care and distribute food and other necessities. The death toll from the quake, Nepal's worst in more than 80 years, reached 7,276, police said. 


Kantipur Post from Kathmandu reports:

 A meeting of the Central Natural Disaster Committee headed by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs Bam Dev Gautam on Sunday decided to send back foreign rescue and search experts.

"The meeting decided to send back all foreign teams as the search and rescue in the quake aftermath is almost over. Very few bodies are likely to remain in the rubble which our own security agencies are able to handle," Home Ministry spokesman Laxmi Prasad Dhakal told the Post after the meeting.

After sending them off with appreciation and gratitude, only a few hundred foreign experts will stay back for relief distribution. The decision is forwarded to the Cabinet which will take a call possibly on Monday. As many as 4,050 experts from 34 countries have been helping in the past nine days.

They searched big structures for bodies, said Dhakal, adding that "our agencies are now capable to look through small structures". 

The government on April 25 had called the international community to dispatch their teams to Nepal. Now the decision to send them back needs Cabinet approval. A total of 129 sniffer dogs were also involved in search and rescue efforts. The international practice is that rescue teams leave the affected country within a week.

As international media reports,Indian news media has come under fire for its allegedly insensitive and jingoistic coverage of the Nepal earthquake, with #GoHomeIndianMedia trending across social networks in Nepal. Several Nepalis have accused Indian news networks of exploiting the disaster, which has so far killed over 7,200 people, to carry out a "public relations exercise" on behalf of the Indian government.


"Your media and media personnel are acting like they are shooting some kind of family serials," Sunita Shakya, a non-resident Nepali, wrote, in a blog published on CNN. "If your media person can reach to the places where the relief supplies have not reached, at this time of crisis can't they take a first-aid kit or some food supplies with them as well?"


The media was also accused of asking insensitive and irrelevant questions such as "How are you feeling?" to earthquake survivors, and of playing up the role of the Narendra Modi-led government in relief and rescue efforts in Nepal.


"We already have enough to deal due to the quakes we don't need you to terrorize our nation anymore," read one tweet. Here is a look at others criticizing the coverage.

The death toll from the April 25 earthquake, which is the worst to hit the country in over 80 years, has reached 7,276, according to media reports. The government has warned that the death toll is likely to climb further as rescue workers reach remote mountainous villages.


"There are still villages where we know that all houses have been destroyed, but have not yet been able to reach," Nepal's Finance Minister Ram Sharan Mahat reportedly said on Sunday. "The aftershocks have not receded and we expect the final casualty numbers to climb much higher."


Nepal's government, meanwhile, has urged foreign rescue workers in the capital city of Kathmandu to return home, even as the United Nations urgedthe government to ease bottlenecks on foreign aid entering the country. According to a report on Monday from The Hindu, an Indian newspaper, which cited Nepal's Deputy Prime Minister Prakash Man Singh, the country needs one million tents to provide shelter to victims rendered homeless by the quake.

Nepal's Information Minister Minendra Rijal said on Monday that major rescue work in Kathmandu and surrounding areas had been completed, and that the remainder of the operations can be handled by local workers, the Associated Press reported.
