Lamka, March 26:
Manipur Hills Journalist Union today acknowledge the reply of its show-cause notice issued to the Khuga Multipurpose Local Contractors Association and warn one and all to refrain from attacking or assaulting its member henceforth.
'It is hereby notified to all and sundry that physical attack and assault on any media person whether Editorial staff, Office staff, Field staff or even hawker/agent will not be tolerated at all henceforth and appropriate steps will initiated promptly,' said the union in its circular release after deliberating the contractors' reply.
Although MHJU acknowledge the hand in regrets of the KMLCA, it however made it clear that alleging media person of 'intentionally defying the bandh' whilst proclaiming in advance the exemption of media from the bandh purview was unbecoming on the part of the contractors.
