On March 2, it emerged that the Information & Broadcasting Ministry had written to the Chief Secretary, to point out the issuing authority, a district magistrate, had no authority to send the notice. Kishore Chandra Wangkhem had been sent a notice under the Information Technology (Guidelines for Intermediaries and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021. He was directed to furnish "all relevant documents" about "Khanasi Neinast" - a program published via The Frontier Manipur on Facebook & YouTube. "...failing which, steps as deemed fit shall be initiated without further notice," the notice warned. Watch the video to know more.
