Protesters opposing the entry of women in the 10-50 age group to the Sabarimala temple on Wednesday attacked journalists covering the stand-off. At least two female reporters were injured when the protesters turned to the media vans to attack them. The National Commission for Women (NCW) has taken cognizance of the attack. A meeting is underway at the NCW office to deliberate on the next step of action. Police had to use lathis on the protestors after they resorted to violence. The police action further enraged the protesters, who smashed the window panes of a police vehicle which was carrying away the injured female journalists. The protesters chased out another female journalist, working for a news portal, from a bus headed to the temple town.
