A video shows a reporter in water up to his neck.
A Twitter user tweeted a video of a female journalist covering a flood while wearing a safety tube to keep her from drowning. Some members of the NDRF can be seen in the boat assisting her, and it is believed that one of them shot the footage. As she reports, the journalist poses for photos with another member of the NDRF.
The user posted the video to his Twitter, saying, “What kind of news reporting is this?”
What type of news reporting is this? She made the NDRF Volunteer to click her pictures just for reporting, rather than helping and saving the peoples life in such a situation. Even the limited boats with the government are being used for the news reporting.

To show his displeasure with the incident. Instead of reporting the incident and supporting the victims, she forced the NDRF volunteers to take her pictures. The government’s few boats are being put to good use covering the news. We hope it isn’t this kind of news.

As soon as the video became viral, internet users descended upon the user comment section to criticize the reporter for inappropriately using NDRF resources. Some viewers were also spotted commenting negatively on the reporter and her news outlet for airing such a segment.

Another user criticized the news station and asked, “Which channel is she from?? Disgraceful news organization and correspondent.
They need to conduct their jobs effectively and let the people of Delhi know which roads are closed and which are open. One user poked fun at reporters who had to work in floodwaters by saying, “Idiots themselves have gone and sat in the water.”
The behavior stunned another user, who commented, “Gajab… This Happens Only In India.”
