According to the Pune Union of Working Journalists (PUWJ), also known as Shramik Patrakar Sangh, journalists invited to cover the event were abruptly shifted to a seating area from where photographing or recording the address of the Reviewing Officer, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, was not possible. The union has submitted a formal complaint seeking an investigation into the incident.
