Senior journalist and former member of the Press Council of India (PCI), Kosuri Amarnath passed away on Tuesday due to COVID-19 complications at the Nizams Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) here. He was 69 and is survived by his wife and son.
Affectionately called ‘Babai’ by his colleagues and juniors, he made invaluable services with regard to freedom of the press, rights and welfare of journalists during his 40-year stint in the profession. He was member of PCI for two terms representing Indian Journalists Union (IJU). Heading a PCI committee on attacks against journalists, he extensively toured across the country and submitted a detailed report in which he made out a case for the necessity of a separate statute for the safety of working journalists.
