Srinagar, June 9 :
A delegation of Jammu Kashmir Press Association (JKPA) told the Director Information and Public Relations(DIPR) during an interactive session that Lt Gov Administration in Union Territory of Jammu &Kashmir should provide advertisements liberally for the sustainability of the media houses so that policies and developmental activities of the government are publicised in their right perspective.
The JKPA delegation led by President, G H Kaloo, called on Akshay Labroo, the Director Information and Public Relations and held an interactive session with him at Polo View office in Srinagar Thursday.
The delegation threw light on the contours of the journey undertaken by them right from 2007 upto the present day and presented a memorandum, containing media related issues, a statement issued by the JKPA said.
It was brought to his notice that media houses in the UT of J&K mainly depend on Central and State governments advertisements in absence of such support from the private sector.
“This reinforces the necessity for the LG Administration to provide advertisements liberally for the sustainability of the media houses so that policies and developmental activities of the government are publicised in their right perspective,” the statement said.
The delegation also urged him to provide advertisements to five newspapers instead of three in vogue. Besides much emphasis was laid on reappraisal of the accreditation policy which needs inclusion of Editors, who are denied such facility at present.
The meeting ended on a positive note, the statement said. (UNI)
