Srinagar, Jan 17: As the government handed over the control of the Kashmir Press Club (KPC) premises, including the building and land, back to the Estates Department, the journalists, who have paid the registration fees, have expressed resentment against the move, asking who was going to repay their fees after such a decision.
Talking to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), a number of journalists termed the decision as unfortunate, saying that it was the only place where they would sit to discuss their stories and do other needful work for performing their duties.
“As the Press Club building has been handed over to the Estates Department back by the government, we need to answer who is going to repay our fees we have already paid,” they asked.
They appealed to the government to look into the matter and come up with any favorable decision so that the journalists are not forced to face hardships or else make it clear who is going to repay their fees.—(KNO)
