Bhagabat Padhi,Odishabarta

Bhubaneswar:On a Press Meet Mr.Ajay Kumar Sahu,President of State Union Journalists(SUJ), demanded Package for Duty Bound Journalists of Odisha.He viewed that impact of Corona trounced Livelihood of Poor,Marginalized,Daily Wages Earners & not the least Lower Income Groups. For them our State Government declared Packages indeed lauded,but Government yet to feel stigmatized conditions for those who behind Curtains none other than Scribes.

It’s fortunate that both Prime Minister and our Chief Minister declared Journalists as Warriors. But they have yet empathy for the latters.It is expected on last Cabinet Meeting to decide for such vulnerable sections.No such things turned out as if these wings have no Families nor Lives nor Livelihoods. Earlier Government declared on Financial Assistance & Life Insurances for all sections the same should be mandatory for Journalists, demanded by SUJ.

For all development scenarios, let feelings for these sections, who round the clock for people to publish update news & building Awareness too to be taken under consideration.

On this occasion Ajay Kumar Sahu,President;Kailash Chandra Nayak, Secretary;Kalicharan Mahapatra,Cashier Gagan Sahu,Chairman of SUJ were present & memorandum sent to Government of Odisha.
