Swarnavahini Live Chart Show goes on non-stop -- changes made in dialogue -- Rahul still 'on his feet'

A big talk went round internet last week because of an aggressive remark made by a certain announcer of Swarnavahini as response to a call by a listener to the effect that it is not suitable to conduct a Live Chart Show at a time when incidents of a sorrowful nature are being reported because of a situation of disaster in the country.

Though various people published requests asking that programmes of this type be temporarily stopped, Swarnavahini has still not acceded to their pleas as such to temporarily curtail such programmes. The Live Chart Show which is broadcast on Tuesday and day-before-yesterday Monday in the evenings was presented as usual by this channel. However, this programme which was presented this week had taken a different 'facelift' this time in contrary to the one presented earlier in an entertainment mood by Kavindya - Rahul. In addition the aid given and the victims concerned were continuously spoken of about with songs being broadcast in the process.

Whatever it is, no action has been taken by the channel over the referred to programme of Kavindya - Rahul which incident created some uproar recently and it was broadcast even yesterday beforehand that the two of them would be handling the programme next week too. In any case it has been detected that some private channels have temporarily suspended programmes of like- nature by now. Certain channels have been noted to have broadcast old recorded programmes as a substitute at those relevant times.
