A delegation of Dakshina Kannada Working Journalists' Union led by its president Harish Rai on Monday met Deputy Commissioner N S Chennappa Gowda and handed over him a memorandum addressed to Chief Minister D V Sadanada Gowda.

The memorandum condemned the attack on Shashidhar Poyyathabail, the cameraman with Mangalore based Namma Nadu Kannada channel by a group of miscreants during Talapady Kambala last Saturday night. It demanded the government to ensure proper protection of journalists.

The memorandum also urged the CM to order a probe into the attack and take appropriate action against culprits.

The DKWJU opined that the Kambala can be considered as a government programme, as the State has already announced fund to preserve and promote this folk sport. And hence, it is the responsibility of the organisers to make proper arrangements for the media persons and spectators at the event, it said.
