Newly elected president Jasim Jony said the Lalmohan Reporters’ Unity is an organization of professional journalists. “Protecting the rights and dignity of journalists and making the organization’s activities more dynamic will be our main priorities,” he said.

General Secretary Zahid Dulal said the new committee would work sincerely to enhance journalists’ professional skills and preserve the organization’s reputation through mutual goodwill and unity.
