OTV Targeted Again: 'COO Nihar Bhuyan Was Under Odisha Govt Pressure To Resign'

Bhubaneswar: The head of the Human Resources Department of Odisha Television Ltd (OTV), Partha Nandy on Monday said that the sudden resignation of channel's Chief Operating Officer (COO) Nihar Ranjan Bhuyan was on account of the pressure exerted on the latter at the behest of the Odisha government.

Terming the senior employee’s exit as another example of the Odisha government's pressure tactics, Nandy said,"Nihar’s resignation was as expected. He was under pressure because his wife is a government employee. It is another example of Odisha government's pressure tactics. Moreover, he was not attending office due to illness for over a week," Nandy said.
