The Minister further said that Government has received some representations seeking withdrawal of certain clauses in the New Advertisement Policy-2016.

He said that before the issuance of the revised New Advertisement Policy-2016, the same was put in the public domain on the website for seeking comments from all the stakeholders. He said that after examining the representations, the final draft of New Advertisement Policy-2016 was prepared and placed before the SAC for consideration and it was approved and issued accordingly. However he said that the new representations received from the stakeholders are being examined in the department.

The Minister said that the New Advertisement Policy-2016 has been devised to further promote and strengthen healthy journalism in the State.

“Due care has been taken to safeguard the interests of the small and medium newspapers particularly of a vernacular medium,” said Mr Akhtar.
