  • Indian Journalists Journalists Journalists
    INDIAN JOURNALISTS UNION F-29, Shankar Market, Connaught Circus, New Delhi – 110 001 Shri. Dinesh Trivedi, Minister for Railways, Government of India, Rail Bhavan, New Delhi. Sub: Anomaly in the extension of Travel Concession to Mandal Correspondents in Andhra Pradesh Hon’ble Sir, The Indian Journaists Union (IJU), the premier and representative organization of working journalists in the country, highly appreciates the travel concessions extended to the accredited working journalists and their families by the Indian Railways. We regret, however, that these concessions are not being allowed to a significant number of accredited journalists in Andhra Pradesh. The accredited Mandal correspondents in Andhra Pradesh are duly getting the press concession facilities in the areas covered by the South Central Railway but the East Coast Railway Zone, with headquarters at Bhubaneswar, is not allowing this concession to these journalists in the three Andhra Pradesh districts of Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam that fall under its control. This is discriminatory besides causing needless problems to a section of accredited journalists who need these concessions the most. We would request you, therefore, to kindly take effective action to ensure that the travel concessions granted by you duly reach the intended beneficiaries in letter and spirit by ordering the East Coast Railway Zone to provide the same facilities to the accredited Mandal correspondents as are provided by the South Central Railway in the rest of Andhra Pradesh. We shall be grateful if you do the needful at an early date. Thanking you, Yours Sincerely, (S N Sinha) President For correspondence with President 7/102 East End Apartment, Mayur Vihar Ph-1 Extn., Delhi- 110096 Email: [email protected], Mobile: +91 98108 89396 .
