Chandigarh, April 20, 2020: After facing media backlash for illegally detaining a journalist of Punjabi Tribune, SSP, Union Territory of Chandigarh, has issued an order to all police personnel not to harass media persons of print media and electronic media as they are allowed to roam free in Chandigarh with only their identity cards.
SSP also ordered that no police official will leave Chandigarh while he is off duty or during rest and shall be available on mobile phone and when called should report to the duty points or their units without fail. Non-compliance of the order will be viewed seriously.
