Old days back again: Ramayan to be telecasted from March 28
The most popular iconic television show 'Ramayan' will be aired on television again after a span of 3 decades. Ramanad Sagar's Ramayan was among those serials that had gained maximum viewers.
Several people had urged the government on social media platforms to consider re-telecast the mythological shows.
In response to one such request made by Akhilesh Sharma, Political Editor and Anchor of NDTV India, on Twitter, Shashi Sekhar, the CEO of Prasar Bharti, tweeted back on March 25 stating that his department is seeking the rights for the episodes from the Chopras.
“Yes we are working on the same with the rights holders. Will update shortly. Stay tuned,” Sekhar tweeted.
Minister for Information & Broadcasting, Prakash Jawdekar took to twitter to confirm the news.
He wrote, "Happy to announce that on public demand, we are starting retelecast of 'Ramayana' from tomorrow, Saturday, March 28 in DD National."
With people presently confined to their homes under the 21-day lockdown, the demand – at least on social media – for yet another run of these mythological series on Doordarshan has picked up wind.
