Journalists & Non-Journalists from different parts of the country will hold a rally outside the residence of UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday following the delay by the government in notifying interim relief. All national federations, trade unions & local unions belonging to the newspaper industry will take part in the rally to be held under the aegis of the Confederation of Newspaper & News Agency Employees’ Organisations.

Confederation Secretary General M S Yadav said, “Concerned over the delay in announcement of interim relief, Confederation leaders have decided to stage a demonstration before the residence of the Congress President”. He said if their demands were not met immediately, the confederation would be left with no other option but to go for a nationwide strike. The Wage Boards for journalists & non-journalists have recommended 30 per cent interim relief which has to be notified by the government for its implementation.
