The mandal-level accreditation cards to Urdu journalists were sanctioned till 2014. The Government used to treat all journalists equally irrespective of language and issue mandal-level accreditation cards to Uru journalists on par with Telugu.
However, the Government bought G.O. 239 and stopped mandal-level accreditation cards to Urdu journalists in the state.

Whereas Telugu journalists are enjoying the facility of mandal-level accreditation cards.
The other issue raised is that G.O. 239 facilitated all Telugu Unions, photographers, video cameramen & Small papers associations in the State Media Accreditation Committee (SMAC) and District Media Accreditation Committee (DMAC). Still, the second largest media of Telangana State is ignored and Urdu Media is not included.

They requested to create and include the Telangana Urdu Working Journalists Federation in SMAC & DMAC or at least nominate an Urdu Journalists in SMAC & and all DMACs, on these demands there is no financial burden on the government if the said demands are accepted and implemented, he said.
