Journalists and non-journalists staged a day-long dharna in Patna on May 24, 2010 demanding extension of the term of the existing wageboard and opposed any move to constitute a tribunal. Bihar Working Journalist Union (BWJU) General Secretary Arun Kumar said the government should extend the term of Majithia wageboard to complete its pending works and any move to constitute a tribunal would be opposed tooth and nail.
Later, a four member delegation, led by Kumar, met Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar and submitted a memorandum requesting him to use his good office in ensuring that the wageboard got the extension.
The dharna was initiated by the Confederation of Newspapers and News Agencies Employees Organisations.
