“I was a journalist and now I am  freelancing. I understand the problems being faced by our friends in the fraternity”, Chakraborty said.

He said as the journalists have no forum to express their grievances, there is a need to create awareness since they  face problems from all fronts.

“There should be positive intervention from the authorites”, he added.

The team representing ‘Let’s Pedal’ also wants to create awareness on issues arising out of climate change.
