The journalists are angry over the 'illegal takeover' of UNI (United News of Indoa), the news agency, that caters to hundreds of newspapers of Indian languages. Protests are being staged in various cities and employees of UNI are most worried.
On Saturday the 'Save UNI March' was taken out in Delhi. The proposed take over of the 45-year-old agency that has a national network of reporters across most of the districts, is being opposed because it is felt that the autonomy of the agency would be hit by the private takeover. CPI(M) has taken up the matter with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The agency has been facing financial crisis for a long time.
