Following a suggestion from Academy chairman Srinivas Reddy for coordinated efforts and consolidating existing housing societies under a single umbrella, the societies’ representatives decided to constitute a coordination committee, acting as a liaison between all three journalists’ housing societies. Each society nominated three representatives for this committee, which aims to present a united front in addressing journalists’ housing concerns. As the State government plans a high-level meeting, societies were asked to prepare member lists to present a collective list, avoiding repetition.
