Senior journalist Kanwar Sandhu resigned as director and managing editor of Day & Night news channel after four years, as the channel's owners embark on major downsizing to cut mounting financial losses of around Rs 100 crore. At least 50 of the channel's 200 employees also face job cuts. Sandhu blamed the channel's financial problems on it being blocked on cable networks in Punjab at the behest of a powerful political entity. The channel chairman said they are only undertaking downsizing and the channel will continue operating.
