The Press Club of India has asked for the "urgent intervention" of Jammu and Kashmir lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha to "restore the land and registration" of the Kashmir Press Club.
In a letter dated today, the PCI flagged the "extremely unfortunate armed takeover" of the Kashmir Press Club last week, and urged Sinha to "ensure that the club be allowed to hold free and fair elections in the interest of transparency and democratic functioning".
