Srinagar March 06 (KNS): Jammu and Kashmir Young Journalists Association (JKYJA) is observing its 11th anniversary today. It was on this day in 2012 that the working body of young journalists from the Jammu and Kashmir region was constituted.
“The idea of forming an association that takes care of the young Journalists in the field came about as a result of difficult situation that the young scribes face in many issues ridden Kashmir,” said the founding President Ajaz Ahmad War.
Celebrations were held on the occasion.
He added: “While all the journalists are equally susceptible to the vagaries of difficult scenario, the younger generation is more prone to be at the receiving end. So, it was mandatory for us to form a body of young working journalists, so that their problems and grievances could be addressed.”
He urged the Government to ensure that all the professional news portals of Jammu and Kashmir especially those operating since many years are recognised.
JKYJA President Ajaz Ahmad War observed that JKYJA is doing an exemplary job and raises various issues at different platforms to address the grievances of young scribes. (KNS)
