Haritha John News Today

The Azadi Project that bestowed the award took note of her coverage of Manipur violence and her consistent reportage on migrant workers in Kerala.

In three states – Karnataka, West Bengal and Kerala – governments run by INDIA bloc parties are apprehensive of change in existing caste equations.

Haritha John has been a journalist for several years, and currently heads the Kerala bureau of The News Minute. She has been covering multiple issues, with primary focus on religion, caste, environment and human rights. Haritha is known for doing extensive reporting from the ground, and jumps at the first chance of going to another state. She is an avid promoter of "healthy" snacks (especially those that come dipped in oil) and is the unofficial secret-keeper of everyone she knows.

TNM’s Haritha John spoke to a 28-year-old Kuki youth, who was once a UPSC aspirant and is now stationed at a bunker in Saikul, Kangpokpi.

Speaking to TNM, Dominic Lumon, the Archbishop of Imphal, said only the government can bring about a solution to the Manipur conflict.

From treating rifle bullet injuries to navigating the cracks between warring communities, Manipur's doctors share their experiences of the unrest in the state.

TNM found there are 150 deaths recorded in three government hospitals in the state. Of these 57 bodies are yet to be claimed and 30 are yet to be identified.
