In a heart-wrenching turn of events, the passing of veteran journalist Satish Nandgaonkar has ignited a firestorm of controversy within the corridors of Hindustan Times. The Mumbai Press Club conducted a preliminary probe, indicating a potential link between Nandgaonkar's deteriorating mental state and the hostile work environment he faced. The fallout from Nandgaonkar's passing has prompted calls for accountability and reform within Hindustan Times. The Mumbai Press Club, in its findings, has forwarded the report to Shobana Bhartiya, the chairperson of HT, and the Editors Guild for necessary action. As calls for justice intensify, attention turns to Hindustan Times management to address systemic issues and ensure a safer, more supportive environment for its staff.
