The norms in India state that prior permission of secretary (security), Cabinet Secretariat, must be obtained in the prescribed format before procurement of jammers.
JanaSena party chief Pawan Kalyan on Sunday (27th of January) addressed a massive public meeting in Guntur of Andhra Pradesh and slammed ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Centre for failing to fulfill promises given to the people of the State.
Janasena President has also announced two more candidates for the forthcoming Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections.
Pawan Kalyan announced candidature of Nadendla Manohar from Tenali constituency and Thota Chandrasekhar from Guntur.
However, the Live Coverage was disruptive.
Janasena leaders and activists organised a huge rally in Guntur as part of movement named ‘JanaSena Sankharavam’. Pawan Kalyan before reached the public meeting spot participated the rally with tens of thousands of activists.
But, the live coverage on party’s and media channels social media platforms was so disruptive and had no clarity on voice and Video quality front.
What Could Be the REASON Behind That?
Well, the shocking revelations are coming out from the JanaSena Party activists and here’s what they are alleging based on the recent incidents occurred during Pawan Kalyan’s public meetings.
“They are putting signal reception jammers wherever Pawan Kalyan is conducting a public meeting. Their media does not cover the event and they are trying their Best to disrupt live coverage in Social Media too,” one of the Janasena follower tweeted.

Signal jammers can only be used by Govt during the visit of a Z security category person.
Is this even legal? https://t.co/htlFLqassW

Now, is it legal to install jammers by private parties?
The norms in India state that prior permission of secretary (security), Cabinet Secretariat, must be obtained in the prescribed format before procurement of jammers.
Besides defence forces and state police departments, prison authorities and Central Government security agencies can only procure the devices.
The policy has given a list of manufacturers and models for jammers too.
Whatever beyond this list will be treated as a violation.
What Next?
If the Janasena legal teams take the issue to the Court of Law with solid evidences, then the culprits would be caught though an investigation process.
