#26: Puthiyavan - Lanka Listeners 

Dear Puthiyavan (Lanka Listners), Thank you for the nice commets about BBC Tamil Service, a service we all love and respect. However, we fear moving BBC Tamil to Delhi is a precursor to its eventual closure in a few years. BBC Management had tried several times to close Tamilosai in the past. But the Foregin Office of the British Government stopped it from happening. The last attempted closure was not more than 3 years ago. Foreign Office stopped funding BBC World Service (including Tamilosai) from this year. So, when the BBC Management tries to close it Foreign Office will have no say in that matter.

Moving to Delhi will lead to its certain closure, that is our fear.
