Manipur press to continue stir

NEWMAI NEWS | IMPHAL, Nov 27 – The general body meeting of the All Manipur Working Journalists’ Union (AMWJU) has decided to continue agitation. The meeting held at the Manipur Press Club in Imphal on Thursday, unanimously agreed not to publish or broadcast news items until the next journalists’ body meeting, when the issue would be discussed once again.

Since the murder of Imphal Free Press sub-editor Konsam Rishikanta by unknown gunmen on November 17, the AMWJU has been on an indefinite cease-work agitation and non-publication and non-broadcasting of news items.

While condemning the failure of the state government in probing the case, S. Hemanta, president of AMWJU informed a private investigation of the matter is being carried out.
