Khammam: Demanding accreditation and health cards, the representatives of Telangana Union of Working Journalists (TUWJ) staged a sit-in at the Collectorate here in Khammam on Monday.
The TUWJ representatives took out a rally from Press Club to Dharna Chowk before reaching the Collectorate. Later, the scribes gave a memorandum to the District Collector D S Lokesh Kumar.
Speaking on the occasion, State vice-president of the TUWJ (IJU), K Ramnarayana said, “The government is showing negligence in giving the accreditations along with issuing the health cards to the journalists since one-and-half year.
Also, many journalists who shifted from working at one newspaper to another are facing problems for not having new accreditations.”
TUWJ (IJU) district president Prasen said, “The government is negligent in issuing health cards, though it agreed to give the same. Since one year, many journalists have been facing problems as they need to pay for their health related expenses.
In Khammam district alone, nearly 18 journalists died due to various health problems.” Issuing of health cards at the
earliest would benefit many journalists who have been suffering from various health problems,
he added.
