Imphal, May 19 2023:
Following a joint meeting held today at Manipur Press Club, the All Manipur Working Journalists' Union (AMWJU) and the Editors' Guild Manipur (EGM) have temporarily withdrawn their decision to cease work from May 18 .
It may be noted that a joint statement issued on May 17 by the two media organisations had urged the relevant authority, including Chief Minister N Biren Singh, to address the ban on internet services and shortage of press materials due to constrained movement of goods trucks along National Highways.
The joint statement had appealed to the Government to address their grievances by May 18 .
In view of the changes made since then, today's joint meeting thus resolved to withdraw the cease work strike temporarily.
