Imphal, January 10 2015 :
An emergency meeting of Editors' Guild Manipur (EGM) held today decided not to extend cooperation to any activities of the Directorate of Information and Public Relations.
The decision was taken as no positive response was coming forth from the CM, who is also in-charge of DIPR, after three rounds of meeting with the Guild regarding its demand not to assign press related matter to an APO (Press), DIPR who allegedly threatened to lay hand on EGM president, according to a statement issued by the EGM.
As such, no members of the EGM would participate in the training programme organised by DIPR slated to begin
from January 12 .
The EGM also decided to avoid using alien words to the best possible level in the Meitei Mayek column of vernacular dailies.
