Compensation, job to wife of slain photojournalist

Manipur government will give Rs 5 lakh as compensation to the wife of a photojournalist who was killed in police firing a week ago, official sources said. The govt has also decided to appoint deceased photojournalist Thangjam Dwijamani's wife Narmada wife as a primary school teacher. The decisions were taken at a cabinet meeting chaired by CM O. Ibobi Singh here last evening, the sources said.

Dwijamani, a photojournalist with the Guwahati-based Prime News Channel, was killed on 30 Dec in police firing during the strike called to protest alleged molestation of a Manipuri film actress Momoko by Livingstone Anal, a Naga militant.
