Imphal, Nov 22 : Newspapers didn't hit stands in Manipur on Sunday as scribes here went on a cease work protesting against militant threats.
In last few years, there have been unexplained killings of about 10 journalists, including editors, in Manipur.
Though none of the culprits have been brought to book by law-enforcing agencies, CBI is currently investigating the killing of K Rishikanta, a young sub-editor of an English daily in 2008.
Following a meeting convened on Sunday, an office-bearer of All Manipur Working Journalists' Union said the journalists will resume work from Monday.
AMWJU, including all media units of the state, organized a rally in Imphal following similar threats to media houses last month.
