The Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) submitted memorandums to Speaker Dol Prasad Aryal and National Assembly Chairperson Narayan Prasad Dahal, protesting the government's policy of providing official public notices and advertisements exclusively to state-owned media outlets. The FNJ urged the government to end discrimination in advertisement distribution, support journalists' labor rights, and correct what it described as an anti-press freedom stance. National Assembly Chairperson Dahal acknowledged that the government's decision narrowed the space for Nepal's journalism profession.
