Scores of journalists took out a candle march on Thursday, condemning the killing of a DD News cameraman in a Naxal attack in Chhattisgarh earlier this week.

Also, journalists held a meeting at the Press Club of India here to pay tributes to the slain DD News cameraman Achyutanand Sahu.

Senior Journalist Ashok Srivastava said that sufficient financial help to the family of Sahu should be assured.

The candle march was taken out from the Press Club of India to the India Gate in the evening.

Two policemen and Sahu were killed and two others were injured in the Maoist attack on Tuesday in poll-bound Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district.
