NEW DELHI, Nov 21: The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has issued a stern advisory to television channels regarding the ongoing rescue operations at Silkyara, Uttarakhand.

The advisory emphasized the critical nature of the rescue operation and stressed the need to ensure that the activities of various agencies involved in the operation are not disrupted or disturbed by the presence of cameramen, reporters, or equipment near the site. The government is maintaining constant communication and making all possible efforts to boost the morale of the workers trapped in the 2 km-built tunnel portion.

The advisory urged TV channels to exercise caution and sensitivity in reporting on the matter, particularly in crafting headlines and sharing videos and images.
