A three-member committee was formed to investigate into the irregularities and presence of “dictatorship” in the Kathmandu branch of the Federation of Nepalese Journalists (FNJ).

Acting upon an application filed by seven executive members of the branch, FNJ central committee decided to investigate into the causes of dispute among the executive members of the branch.

The three-member committee will focus mainly on corruption, violation of the norms of the Federation of Nepalese Journalists and the tendency of undermining the voice of the majority in meetings of the executive committee.

Seven executive members of the FNJ Kathmandu Branch had locked the office yesterday and filed an application against president Yubraj Bidrohi, vice-president Kamal Gurung, treasurer Dhan Bahadur Magar and secretary Dinesh Basnet, demanding that persisting problems of the chapter be resolved.
