Rourkela: Members of Rourkela chapter of Odisha Journalists’ Union (OJU)
today strongly condemned the attack on a journalist working with an electronic
media on October 27 in Bhubaneswar. They demanded stern action against the
persons involved in the attack. They also demanded immediate arrest of the
accused.
The
journalists’ fraternity submitted a memorandum addressed to Chief Minister
Naveen Patnaik through the ADM Rourkela. The OJU expressed concern over the
delay in taking action against the culprits. They pressed for steps to protect
journalists in the state.
In the
memorandum, the OJU stated that Basanta Kumar Nayak, a cameraman of Naxtra TV
was brutally assaulted on the October 27 evening at Barmunda Bus stand by some
miscreants along with some bus staff.
Attacks on
the fourth pillar in a democracy state has become dime a dozen, they alleged,
adding that all this is happening due to lack of stringent action against the
accused persons.
