Live coverage of the anti-Unity Mall Dhadak Morcha resumed smoothly on Wednesday after the police jammer vehicle, which was reportedly disrupting transmissions and preventing on-the-spot media updates, was switched off.
The development came soon after media outlets reported that signal jamming equipment deployed near the protest site was interfering with live broadcasts and digital reporting from the ground. Journalists covering the morcha had flagged difficulties in sending real-time updates, videos and live feeds.

Following these reports and growing concern over restrictions on media coverage, the jammer vehicle was subsequently turned off, restoring communication and enabling reporters to continue live transmissions from the protest.
The Dhadak Morcha, organised to oppose the proposed Unity Mall project, has drawn large participation, with activists and villagers demanding the scrapping of the project. The incident has sparked discussions on the need to ensure unhindered media access and transparency during public protests.
