Kashmir Editors Guild (KEG) in a statement has said that it “regretted” the continued denial of government advertisements to Srinagar-based newspaper– Kashmir reader.
“The newspaper has never been informed either verbally or in black and white about the reasons for a halt to the advertisements by the government,” the statement read.
The issue was brought to the notice of the administration many times at different levels and it was expected that the decision-makers take a view of the issue, but to no avail, the guild lamented.
The guild urged Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s to look into the issue so that the newspaper is prevented from being shut down.
