Imphal, August 05 2011:
A joint meeting of All Manipur Working Journalists' Union and editors held at Manipur Press Club today afternoon with AMWJU president A Mobi Singh in the chair has strongly condemned the life attempt on a video journalist of NETV Nameirakpam Bishorjit (Taton) Singh by some armed persons who came in a car last night.
Bishorjit was returning from duty at around midnight when some people who came in a car opened fire at him near Keishampat Takhel Leikai.
Today's joint meeting decided to press the Government for taking up necessary measures for identification of the attackers and initiating legal action against them.
Taking serious note over similar incidents of threat, attack and intimidation on journalists in Manipur, the joint meeting also appealed to all concerned to allow the journalists to perform their duties without any fear and apprehension and urged the Government for taking up necessary measures in this regard.
