Port Blair, Apr 23: The President of Andaman and Nicobar Media Federation, K Ganeshan has demanded conduct of daily press briefing as presently people of Andaman and Nicobar Islands are not getting sufficient information regarding corona through IP Division and Secretariat. “Due to lack of sufficient information there is a sense of restlessness and panic among many,” the President of ANMF said.
At presently only limited amount of filtered information is reaching to public via media, which are also one way. In many cases, questions raised public and also questions raised by media remain unanswered, which is not acceptable in democracy. “General Public is being deprived of necessary information, which are crucial during the time of Pandemic. Only official information are being provided to public, which are either too confusing or are insufficient,” K Ganeshan added. The President of Andaman and Nicobar Media Federation also said that he will be taking up this matter with the Prime Minister of India. “When other states can conduct Press Briefing by following social distancing norms why can’t Andaman Administration do so,” he questioned.
