Ambika Soni condoles journalist’s death

NEW DELHI - Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Ambika Soni on Thursday condoled the death of Ajay Tiwari, a field reporter with Hindi News channel Sahara Samay, who died while covering a major fire that broke out in a factory-cum-godown in Dabri in South-West Delhi.

“In Tiwari’s death, Indian journalism has lost promising talent. Tiwari died in the line of his duty maintaining the highest tradition of television journalism,” said Ambika Soni in her message.

Thirty-four year old Tiwari died on Wednesday after getting trapped inside the debris of a portion of the factory wall that collapsed after a cylinder blast in the factory.

Madan Mohan, a cameraman working with India News, who was standing close to Tiwari at the time of the incident reportedly, received minor injuries on his hands. (ANI)
