The Director General of the Department of Government Information, H. S. K. J. Bandara, has urged media institutions to ensure timely payment of remuneration to provincial journalists.
In a letter addressed to heads of media organizations, Bandara noted that during workshops conducted by the department across several districts, journalists consistently raised concerns over delays in receiving payments for their coverage.
Emphasizing the importance of fair treatment, Bandara called on media institutions to extend their support in resolving the issue and ensure that provincial correspondents are compensated promptly and justly.
