Srinagar, December 1

The police have initiated legal action against six individuals for dissemination of “false information, instigative content inciting disaffection and anti-social propaganda” on various social media platforms. The move comes as authorities intensify efforts to curb the spread of misinformation.

The public is strongly urged to refrain from posting, sharing, propagating provocative content, misinformation, etc., according to a statement from the Srinagar police.

The enforcement of legal action follows the posting of an “objectionable” video on social media by an engineering student from Maharashtra who is enrolled at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) in Srinagar.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
