Guwahati: Journalists’ Forum Assam (JFA) welcomes the move of
National Commission for Women (NCW) to issue a show-cause notice to a
city based satellite news channel for forcing a reporter to resign
because she was pregnant. The forum also agrees with NCW that the
channel management had shown an insensitive attitude towards the
scribe, who worked there for over a decade.

Days back, expressing deep shock and concern ‘at the manner in which
Guwahati based journalist Ranjita Rabha was forced to resign from her
position in Prag News’, the Network of Women in Media, India (NWMI)
called upon the NCW and the State Commission for Women to take suo
moto cognizance of the issue.

Many other organizations namely Indian Journalist Union, North East
Network, Asom Mahila Sangha, Sadou Asom Pragatisheel Naari Santha,
Assam unit of Students’ Federation of India, State unit of All India
Democratic Women’s Association, etc also criticized the channel
