A 41-year-old video journalist working for a Tamil television channel in the news section died of COVID-19 at a hospital here on Saturday, the government said.

Telangana Governor and Former Tamil Nadu BJP President Tamilisai Soundarrajan also condemned in her twitter handle.

கொரோனா விழிப்புணர்வு பணியில் மக்களுக்கு விழிப்புணர்வு ஏற்படுத்தும் பணியில் ஈடுபட்டிருந்த ராஜ் தொலைக்காட்சியின் மூத்த ஒளிப்பதிவாளர் சகோதரர் திரு. வேல்முருகன் அவர்கள் கொரோனா வைரஸ் தொற்றால் உயிரிழந்த செய்தி மிகுந்த மனவேதனை அளிக்கின்றது. (1/3) @RajtvNetwork pic.twitter.com/HH9B3mz6cE

The video cameraman, E Velmurugan’s death was very unfortunate and saddening, Greater Chennai Corporation Commissioner G Prakash said.

பத்திரிக்கையாளர்களுடைய பணியானது மகத்தான சேவையாகும். இந்த கொரோனா காலத்தில் பத்திரிக்கை துறை நண்பர்கள் மிகுந்த பாதுகாப்புடன், கவனமாக பணியாற்றிட வேண்டும் என அன்போடு கேட்டுக் கொள்கிறேன். https://t.co/YpK2iSPpDj
