ITANAGAR: The Arunachal Pradesh Union of Working Journalist (APUWJ) distributed its approved press ID cards to the members of the State media, in a simple ceremony at the Arunachal Press Club (APC) here.

The press cards were handed over to the members by APC president Dodum Yangfo.

In his speech, Yangfo urged all press personnel to strive for quality journalistic works while upholding the press ethics and professional responsibility.

APUWJ president Amar Sangno, under whose initiative the launching of ID Cards distribution among members took shape, said, "In our continued attempt to curb the misuse of the press tag, the APUWJ has issued new ID cards to the working journalists."

He also informed that only the bearer of these new cards will get entry into the Arunachal Press Club. This decision was unanimously taken during an executive meeting of the APC, APUWJ and the Arunachal Electronic and Digital Media Association (AEDMA), at the APC on August 9, 2020. The resolution for restricting the entry of journalists into the APC was taken in view of the mushrooming of various media houses in the State in the past few months.
