Madhya Pradesh CM says committee to be set up to frame journalists' protection law; announces other sops for scribes

A committee will be set up as part of efforts to frame a journalists' protection law in Madhya Pradesh, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said on September 7.

Addressing a 'patrakar samagam' (journalists' gathering) in Bhopal, the CM also said a new 'Patrakar Bhawan' will be built in place of the old demolished building.

“It will be called the ‘State media centre’ and will have a modern convention centre, library and canteen etc,” the CM added. "A committee of senior journalists will be constituted to give recommendations to frame the State's Journalist Protection Act," he said.
