Newspapers in Manipur did not hit the stands on Monday as media houses took the decision to not bring out any issues following a threat by a militant group.
While a militant outfit wanted a certain statement to be published verbatim in the papers, its rival faction threatened them with dire consequences if the statement was published, the spokesman said.
On several occasions earlier, papers failed to hit the stands for similar reasons, he said and ask the ultras not to issue any threat notice to media houses. — PTI
