Journalists presented a memorandum to the Governor seeking his interference to provide a safer work place for journalists in the State as well as in the country. Talking about the heinous incident that happened to the photojournalist in Mumbai and condemning it, they demanded that the culprits should be given exemplary punishment within a specified time-frame.
It is a matter of serious concern that India is becoming known as a country where people do not know how to respect a woman, they added saying stringent laws are to be made to avoid such incidents in the future.
Further, Journalists asked the government to take appropriate measures to ensure that such incidents are not repeated in future.
Journalists from different organizations, both from print and electronic media, participated in the protest.
Now-a-days, the incidents of attack on women irrespective of age, caste, creed and profession are increasing and the administration is not in a position to control the things, said a photojournalist requesting the State government to take bold steps and make a separate Act that would protect the working women in particular and others at large and also save the dignity of women.
