Investigation of old advertisements started, instructions for recovery from ineligible newspapers
New Delhi. The Modi government has canceled the title of more than 2.5 lakh newspapers after scrutiny for the last one year and has excluded hundreds of newspapers from the DAVP list. Along with this, a team of administrative officers has been instructed to investigate all the old disturbances. It also includes investigation into complaints of ineligible newspapers and government advertisements to magazines. There are also instructions for recovery and legal action if there are disturbances in it. Because of this there is a stir in the media world.
The RNI i.e. the Office of the Registrar of Newspapers and the DAVP i.e. Directorate of Advertising and Visual Publicity have become quite strict after the Modi government gave a strong signal. If the rules were ignored in the running of the newspaper, then the RNI is ready to stop the title of the newspaper. On the other hand, DAVP is banning advertisement. For the first time in the history of the country, the titles of about 269,556 newspapers have been canceled and 804 newspapers have been removed by the DAVP from its advertisement list. This move has stirred the operators of small and medium newspapers.
For a long time, the Modi government has taken strict measures to stop the rigging of newspapers. RNI has started reviewing the titles of newspapers. In the first phase, RNI revoked the titles of 269,556 newspapers in the country under the Prevention of Proprietor Use Act 1950, when anomalies of newspapers were revealed in the review. It has the highest number of newspapers-magazine in Maharashtra (No. 59703) and then newspaper-magazine in Uttar Pradesh (No. 36822). Maximum number of city of Madhya Pradesh
