Imphal: The Kakching District Journalists' Association opened its new office building on November 10. The facility sits at Kakching Chumnang, right next to the Representatives of Lois office. This move ends a long struggle for local media workers.
KADJA started in 2020. The group previously lacked a permanent home. Reporters from Kakching, Chandel, and Tengnoupal districts had to haul themselves to Imphal just to hold press conferences. That changes now.
MLA Mayanglambam Rameshwar stepped in to help. He connected with SCERT Director Aheibam Romel to secure an unused District Institute of Education and Training building for the group. The MLA also pushed to renovate the site for its new purpose. The association noted its appreciation for the assistance, stating that the project was a "milestone in the association's efforts to strengthen its organisational activities and facilitate the work of journalists in the district."
Superintendent of Police Priyadarshini Laishram joined the inauguration ceremony. KADJA president Uttamkumar Naorem and social workers Yambem Satya and Naorem Nopur were also on hand. The group hopes the office acts as a central hub for professional collaboration.
KADJA is asking for public support to upgrade the building. You can reach the president at 8787885529, the secretary at 9612496350, the treasurer at 9862836536, the publicity secretary at 9233937838, or the office secretary at 9862724015. Emails go to [email protected].
