Maharashtra BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis has written to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray demanding to declare journalists as front line workers.
“Various organizations representing media persons have made similar demands but the state government has not taken a decision. Many journalists have lost their lives while working in the pandemic period. Many journalists lodged their protests through an online agitation recently. Once they are recognised as frontline workers, they will get prioritised in the vaccination drive,” Fadnavis has said.
Many states have recognised journalists as frontline workers, even leaders like Balasaheb Thorat, Dilip Walse-Patil, Nawab Malik from the Maha Vikas Aghadi government have also made a similar demand.
