IMPHAL, July 29: A section of the media who were to cover the oath taking ceremony of Dr Ashwani Kumar as the state Governor at the Imphal Raj Bhavan were refused entry by the Central Reserved Police Force personnel manning the Raj Bhavan gate. A press statement of the All Manipur Working Journalist Union in this regard lamented
the refusal of the CRPF personnel to allow entry to the media persons as unfortunate and uncivilized while further adding that the media persons were formally invited by the state Chief Secretary for the event; and that such a refusal from the CRPF personnel tantamounts to humiliation of the media persons.
It is also an act of humiliating the state Chief Secretary, the release said and added that the action indicates a lack of coordination amongst the organizers.
