NewsClick Accounts Frozen; Journalist Groups Criticize IT Department Action
‘The salaries of all employees, including support staff, cannot be disbursed, including for the 19 days of work in December,’ a joint statement said
Several journalist organizations have voiced strong disapproval following the Income Tax Department's decision to freeze the bank accounts of NewsClick. This action has reportedly halted the disbursement of salaries to all employees, including support staff, for their work in December.
The affected employees will not receive payment for the 19 days they have already worked this month, according to a joint statement released by the organizations. The freezing of accounts is seen as a significant impediment to the media outlet's operations and its staff's financial well-being.
The freezing of media outlet accounts raises concerns about press freedom and the potential impact on journalistic operations and employee livelihoods.
