Editors Guild of India tells Supreme Court that Army ‘invited’ it to Manipur
The Editors Guild of India (EGI) on September 11 told the Supreme Court that its team had visited Manipur on the Army’s invitation to make an “objective assessment” of the “unethical and ex parte reporting” by the vernacular media. “We did not volunteer to go there. It is the Army that requested us. We got a letter from the Army,” senior advocate Kapil Sibal, for the EGI, submitted before a Bench headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud. The Chief Justice was puzzled why the Army wanted the EGI to go to Manipur.
Andhra Pradesh bandh | Situation peaceful; TDP leaders taken into preventive custody

TDP leaders were either placed under house arrest or taken into custody at different places in the city and district. According to Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Shankha Brata Bagchi, the situation was peaceful in the State and no untoward incident has been reported.
