The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Tuesday has asked the television channels covering rescue operations under way at Silkyara, Uttarakhand, to refrain from “sensationalising” the issue. The Ministry also asked them to refrain from undertaking any live posts or videos from close proximity of the tunnel site.
“Committed to saving precious lives of all the workers, various government agencies are working tirelessly for the safe evacuation of the workers. The operation under way around the tunnel is of an extremely sensitive nature,” the Ministry said.
