Scribes decide to check news content in Manipur

Imphal, Oct 10 (UNI) The All Manipur Working Journalists' Union (AMWJU) and the editors of the dailies have decided not to publish any news item issued by underground outfits asking individuals to surrender.

AMWJU General Secretary Biren said, however, in exceptional cases, such kind of news would be published.

The scribes have also been asked to be careful while reporting conflicts between various organisations.

It has become a trend for various underground outfits asking some individuals to surrender within a specific time period.
