Pension for journalists in Kerala to be increased


Sunday, June 10, 2012: Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said here on Sunday that the Kerala Government would soon increase pension for journalists.
However, the quantum of increase will be decided after consultation with Finance Minister KM Mani, he said while inaugurating the state conference held by Senior Journalist Forum-Kerala here.
The views of the Cabinet would also be taken into account for this, he said. Journalists play an important role in protecting democracy, he said, adding that there is a vast difference in the approach to various issues and functioning of the present crop of scribes and those of yesteryears.
