Guwahati: The entire media of Arunachal Pradesh, both print and electronic, has decided to observe ceasework from today following threats from All Arunachal Pradesh Student Union (AAPSU).
The Arunachal media, in an emergent meeting held at Itanagar today, said ''all the media would ceasework indefinitely till the culprits were brought to book''. The AAPSU has been hit by an internal squabble and the media has been dragged into the controversy.
A group of around 60 miscreants went to various and press and agency offices late last night warning them not to use the news of the rival faction of the AAPSU. The group also manhandled a woman journalist working at the desk ''Echo'' -- a newspaper -- last night.
The ceasework would continue till fool proof security is guaranteed, the resolution says. The resolutions were submitted to the Governor, Chief Minister, Home Minister, chief secretary, director general of police, superintendent of police and deputy commissioner.
