Journalists lay siege to Khammam DPRO office
The representatives of Telangana Working Journalists Union (TUWJ) laid siege to office of District Public Relation Officer (DPRO) demanding to issue joint accreditation cards to the journalists working in both Khammam and Bhadradri Kothagudem districts here in Khammam on Monday.
Demand joint accreditation cards and bus passes
​Khammam: The representatives of Telangana Working Journalists Union (TUWJ) laid siege to office of District Public Relation Officer (DPRO) demanding to issue joint accreditation cards to the journalists working in both Khammam and Bhadradri Kothagudem districts here in Khammam on Monday.
The journalists working in print and electronic media from both the districts staged a dharna in front of the DPRO office for more than two hours.
State vice-president of TUWJ Kattekola Ramnarayana, speaking on the occasion, alleged that the State government was deceiving journalists working in small newspapers by dividing them into A, B, C and D categories instead of issuing a GO common for all.
Criticising the TRS government, he alleged that the government was issuing accreditation cards only to selected journalists who are favourable to the government and treating other journalists with step-motherly attitude.
“We will intensify the movement and will teach government a fitting lesson if it fails to issue the joint accreditation cards to all journalists irrespective of the newspaper they are working for along with issuing bus passes which work in both districts,” he warned.
Later, the journalists gave a representation to DPRO Srinivas requesting him to issue joint accreditation cards as early as possible.
TUWJ District president Narvaneni Venkatrao, General Secretary S K Khader, Y Madhav Rao, N Janardhana Chary, Gogireddy Srinivas Reddy, Mohiuddin, Shivanandham, N Raja Rao, Srinivas Rao, P Ramesh Babu, L Rambabu, Dasari Srinivas Rao, K Venkateshwar Rao, M Murali and Deva were part of the delegation.
