Vidya Krishnan
Comment: Initial reviewer considered her not notable and also mentioned if notable only for 1 event. I disagree, as events are assault at work, online abuse in context of COVID19 reporting, criticisms of prime minister. I added more secondary sources to hopefully illustrate notability. Relevant discussion with first reviewer on my talk page, note they invited me to resubmit to get a second opinion. CT55555 (talk) 19:47, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
