The episode of the suspension of the three employees of the Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) has come to an end. They have all been reinstated in their respective posts after a conversation between the prime minister and the MBC management.

Sarah Persand, Sadeck Moco and Ravind Boodhoo were supposed to go to the prime minister’s office to cover his meeting with an Indian minister. As the driver and the cameraman were caught in a traffic jam, they could not be there in time. The journalist present had called Habid Sayen Hossen to ask what to do and the latter told her to return to the office. But the PM was furious and asked for the suspension of the three employees.

However public indignation has caused the MBC to back pedal and soon afterwards, the three employees resumed work. But the MBC management has found a brilliant solution to prevent such a situation from happening again. MBC director, Bijaye Madhou, and its chairman, Fareed Jangeerkhan, have decided to set up a well-equipped studio at Cerne House in Port-Louis. There will always be a staff of cameramen, journalists and technicians there to do their job from Port-Louis withoutPoliceman and wife found dead

Two bodies were found in a sugarcane field in Trou-d’Eau-Douce: that of Sailandrasing Ladai (25) and his wife, Prithee (21). The forensic scientist, Dr Mohungoo, believes that the deaths were “due to gunshot wounds in the head”. The police think that Sailandrasing shot his wife before committing suicide. But they still do not know why he took his gun home when he went off duty at Trou-d’Eau-Douce police station. The couple had said they were going out to dinner but the police believe this could have been an excuse to discuss their problems away from their relatives.
