Kolkata: Policies framed by the Prasar Bharati are "old and incorrect" and need to be reviewed,

according to the public broadcaster's Chief Executive Officer, Jawhar Sircar.

Sircar was referring to media reports about the All India Radio's 'sacking' of 100 casual RJs, above 35 years old, working at two Kolkata stations — FM Rainbow and FM Gold - earlier this month with a communique from the AIR director-general.

"I was not consulted in this matter. The notice should not have been served on the first hand. But I will like to clear that nobody was sacked. It was quite mischievous. We are looking into the matter and the policy is under review," he said.

Incidentally, Sircar, soon after the 'sacked' RJs' held a press conference in this connection, had tweeted: "We told the DG not to sack. (This is) some mischief! Policy is under review."
