Imphal, August 14 2013:
The All Manipur Working Journalists' Union has appealed to all bandh/blockade supporters not to target or disturb newsmen and newspaper distributors (hawkers) while discharging their duties of disseminating information to the public.
In a statement, AMWJU said that it is the distributors (hawkers) who deliver the newspapers door to door to keep the readers and public informed.
As such it appealed to all concerned not to target them while distributing newspapers to the public.
The Union has also extended its gratitude to CAF and PD Minister M Okendro and the proprietor and staff of Imphal Oil Agency for keeping aside 2 KL of fuel for newsmen at this time of scarcity so that journalists can discharge their duties more conveniently.
