The sources said they agree with the anxiety of the special representative about the television channels and informed the Central government that some private news channels were projecting negative picture of the state. They pointed out that in 2016, students from few institutions were part of stone throwing incidents and the channels had reported as if entire student fraternity was involved in violent acts.
