Kashmir Press Club ( Aiwan- e- Sahafat) on Friday accepted the resignation of its interim President Salim Pandit. Pandit had tendered his resignation from the post of President citing personal reasons.
“ The executive body of KPC met in the wake of the recent developments which have cropped up after the tendering of resignation by Salim Pandit from the post of President in the society of the club,” said a statement issued by the KPC.
