Mumbai: India TV, one of the leading news broadcasters and the only news group to have CTV first news channels in India, has added another jewel to its crown with the launch of ‘India TV Chunav Manch, a dedicated channel for 24x7 election updates. The launch is scheduled for 15 October and will take place during India TV’s flagship event “Chunav Manch”, which is being held in Madhya Pradesh, this year.
