SLRC, NHK and IRIB Win AVN Monthly Award
T
he Asiavision (AVN) monthly award was won by IRIB- Iran, NHK-Japan and SLRC-Sri Lanka for the months of March, April and May respectively.
IRIB earned the March award for its timely coverage of a terrorist bomb attack at a court compound in the Khyber- Pakhtunkhwa province in north-western Pakistan. A bomber blew himself up as Pakistani police officers tried to stop him from entering the court
building in Shabqadar on 7 March. At least eight people, including three police officers, were killed and 27 others injured in the bomb attack.
The April award went to NHK for its comprehensive coverage of a series of earthquakes that hit Kyushu Island. The first, a foreshock earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 occurred at 21:26 JST on 14 April and the second, a main shock with a magnitude
of 7.3, struck at 01.25 JST on 16 April. The two earthquakes claimed the lives of at least 49 people and injured more than 1,000 others. The earthquakes also caused more than 44,000 people to be evacuated from their homes.
SLRC took the May award for its coverage of the floods and landslides caused by the heaviest rains the island nation had seen in 25 years. The severe weather conditions had been raging since the middle of the month and by its end, the death toll had risen to more than 90 and more than 100 people were missing. Aranayake, in the Kegalle district, was one of the worst-hit villages. Island-wide, more than 185,000 people had to be evacuated and given temporary shelter.
