Official reports said representatives of different civil socieities and students' bodies also launched a sit-in demonstration at Keisampat community hall here against the threat to mediapersons and distributors of newspapers in the state.

Sources in the media houses said the papers would hit the stands tomorrow morning after the non-publication of the isues for four days from September 1 because some unwanted elements who had also threatened newspaper distributors wanted the dailies to publish certain press release issued by them.
