Imphal, June 20 2015 :
Department of Information and Public Relations has cautioned the heads of departments in the state government against the flagrant flouting of the provisions of the Manipur State Advertisement Policy, 2013 .
Some HODs have been releasing classified and display advertisements to some newspapers of their choice which is violative of the Policy.
In a letter to the HODs the DIPR reminded them that they should pay for such advertisements out of their personnel accounts.
The Treasury offices had been asked not to pass bills for such publications.
Sources said that from the very beginning some HODs have been mocking the policy and went ahead with issuing ads to some newspapers for reasons not far to seek.
Some years back most of these HODs had declined to pay for the ads they had released to regional and national newspapers with the result that no Manipur government ads are published without pre-payment.
