Federation of Journalists submitted a 7-point attention letter to Prime Minister Oli

The Central Committee of the Federation of Nepalese Journalists today drew the attention of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to solve the problems faced by journalists and the media sector. The delegation led by the president of the federation Nirmala Sharma met at the government residence in Baluwatar and submitted a 7-point attention letter to Prime Minister Oli.

After understanding the letter of attention, Prime Minister Oli has committed to study the demands that have been drawn to the attention of the Federation and provide all possible support.  In the

attention letter, it is mentioned that even after the promulgation of the Working Journalists Act, the Federation had to continuously agitate for the provision of service facilities prescribed by the Act and Regulations. "We are in a shameful situation where most of the journalists do not even get regular wages. The government seems to be failing in the implementation of the laws created by the state . Therefore, the federation draws serious attention to establish an independent, independent and powerful press registrar's office to ensure labor rights in the communication sector,' the attention letter states. 

This is the attention given by the Federation to the Prime Minister. We would like to inform you that the federation is aware that there should be no legal provisions contrary to the international standards of press and freedom of expression, our constitutional provisions and practice. In addition, we draw attention to the policy arrangement of mandatory representation of the federation in permanent and temporary structures related to the communication sector . As the incidents of violation of press and freedom of expression are increasing, we also request the state and non-state parties involved in such incidents to take legal action and arrange appropriate arrangements to reduce such incidents in the future.
