Newspapers hit stands after 4 days in Manipur

Imphal, Oct 15: Newspapers were published today in Manipur after four days of strike by journalists from October 11-14 following militant threats.

The All Manipur Working Journalists' Union (AMWJU) said some People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK) cadres had pressurised the journalists to publish a certain news article.

They were also given death threats, the AMWJU added.

The journalists of the state resumed work from yesterday after the militant outfit agreed to apologise for the threats and assured that it would not interfere in the work of the media.
