Newspapers in Assam will begin a three-day boycott of all news, advertisements and photographs of the state government in protest against its alleged apathy towards the problems faced by media houses, The Assam Tribune reported. The boycott will begin from March 10.
The decision was taken at a general meeting of the North East Newspaper Society held in Guwahati on Friday. The society said that while the price of newsprint, print material and transportation has increased, the government has failed to revise the rates of advertisements since 2014.
