Kathmandu, Feb 26: The health of two journalists who have been staging a fast-unto-death at the main gate of the central office of the Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) here has deteriorated and become serious.
Lavdev Dhungana, the FNJ Panchthar district chapter president and Prem Adhikari, member of the FNJ Ilam district chapter, are staging the fast-unto-death since February 22 protesting over what they say ‘arbitrary and unilateral’ distribution of FNJ memberships.
“Both are complaining of headache, fever and giddiness and cannot even talk. Doctors have been called for a health examination,” Press Union Ilam chapter president Toyanath Bhattarai, who is with the fasting journalists, said.
Various media and journalists organisations including the National Society of Democratic Print Media have called for protecting the life of the two journalists. RSS
