A fact-finding committee of the Press Council of India has stated that the business of news media has been "severely disrupted" in Jammu and Kashmir and that journalists are "constantly facing pressure both from government agencies and police as well as militants", the New Indian Express reported today.
The three-member committee had visited the union territory last year and then prepared a report based on its findings. The committee comprised Prakash Dubey of Dainik Bhaskar, Gurbir Singh of New Indian Express, and Suman Gupta of Jan Morcha.
