Reenactment of the popular 2010 Bollywood movie
‘Peepli Live” which took a dig at the electronic media is taking place in Sukma
from where Alex Paul Menon was abducted by the maoists.
The sudden convergence of media personals, police
and politicians to this small district has provided an opportunity for the poor
villagers to earn extra income as make shift shops selling eatables and tea
have come up in the popular points of Sukma.
Karan Dev, a local resident said that this was for
the first time that he was watching the national media anchors personally. “I
had never seen the logo of news channel so closely before nor had I seen vans
with umbrella like structure on their top (OB vans). So many outsiders have
come here and they are just running from one place to the other.”
