Journalists need protection

Journalists play an essential role in our daily lives and it is high time govt took serious steps to protect them

TURBAT: Journalists put their lives in danger every day to provide us with information. They go through many challenges during the course of their work and face threats like kidnapping, murder, etc. Recently, Hakim Abro was kidnapped in Sukkur and he isn’t the first journalist who has had to suffer through such a happening.

Journalists play an essential role in our daily lives and it is high time the government took serious steps to protect them.
