The Meghalaya Editors’ and Publishers’ Association (MEPA) on Friday strongly denounces the highhandedness by a group of youths on two journalists Riba Mary Suchiang of Batesi TV and Evangelist Khongwar of U Mawphor while performing their official duty during the rally on unemployment organised by the FKJGP in Shillong city. 

According to the Association, the fact that the group of youths did not spare the two journalists even after they have identified themselves as journalists is something that is uncalled for and deplorable.
