BBC Tamilosai’s special programme

LONDON: The BBC’s Tamil service, BBC Tamilosai, has launched a special 15-minute programme in response to the demand for more news about India’s general election and the developments in Sri Lanka.It will be broadcast at 7 a.m. (IST) every day until May 20.

Thirumalai Manivannan, Head of BBC Tamil, said: “With events unfolding in Sri Lanka, as well as the general election in India, the BBC Tamil team feels that it’s vital to keep our audiences up to date with latest developments outside our normal daily half-hour broadcasts…. As we have done in the past, we decided to add this special morning programme to our news output, to ensure our radio and online audiences are kept fully informed about developments which are directly affecting them.”
