Mysore/Mysuru: With the print media facing a crisis following the COVID-19 lockdown and the Indian Newspaper Society (INS) dashing off a letter to the Centre seeking announcement of an urgent stimulus package, City Congress leader M. Lakshmana has urged the Government to come up with an exclusive print media and job security policy to bail out the industry from the crisis.
Addressing a press meet at Congress Bhavan near the City Railway Station on Monday, he said that the Government must also announce measures for saving jobs in the print industry, which are under threat due to lockdown. He also wanted the Government to pay Rs.50 lakh as compensation to the families of scribes in case of death due to Coronavirus.
