Geo News is going regimental rather than being journalistic organization
A notice has been issued by management of Geo News to employees, in which strict orders have been given like military rules
Management of Geo News has prohibited all its staff from focusing on their work and from unnecessary movement. Notices issued give impression that preparations are being made to turn Geo News into a military organization. However, critics say that all this is being done because a protest will be started in front of Geo News for a week from today against dismissal of employees.
In notice issued by management of Geo News, it is said that all employees are made clear through the advertisement to perform their duties honestly while adhering to code of conduct.

The notice further states that it is also important to remember that every employee has the right to reject any offer from any person who would cause disruption to his work.
Critics say that this notice has been issued by the management of Geo News at a time when high-ranking employees of Geo News have been sacked, protesting against the management for a week from today. The journalistic community will stage a sit-in outside Geo News to express solidarity with the sacked employees.
