Maihar, Madhya Pradesh Shramjeevi Journalist Association's divisional conference was organized at Eco Park Rewa. Inaugurating the conference, Deputy Chief Minister Shri Rajendra Shukla said that journalism is a very challenging job and journalist brothers raise the voice of the public despite facing many difficulties. Journalists are the link of communication between the government and the public. By pointing out the shortcomings of the government and the administration, journalists become the medium to remove those shortcomings. Journalism itself has fulfilled the dream of making democracy a boon. That is why it is called the fourth pillar of democracy. The Deputy Chief Minister said that efforts have been made to identify land for the construction of a journalist building and residential buildings for journalists in Rewa. If land is available, appropriate action will be taken on the demands made regarding the establishment of a journalist building. Akhilesh Pandey, while giving the welcome address at the function, said that there is a great need for a journalist building in Rewa. In 2014, the government had given instructions to senior police officers to investigate whenever criminal cases were registered against journalists. This should be followed, cases registered against journalists out of malice should be ended. Mohammad Ali of Shahdol division also expressed his views in the function. In the ceremony, cricketer Samya Pandey, singer Manya Pandey and journalists from different districts who did excellent work were honored by the organization.
