NEW DELHI: An order by the Manipur government to an Imphal-based news website “The Frontier Manipur”, asking the portal to furnish relevant documents showing compliance to digital media regulations introduced by the Union government last week, led the information and broadcasting ministry on Tuesday to clarify that state governments, district magistrates or police commissioners are not empowered to administer the Information Technology (intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021.
On Monday, Naorem Praveen, deputy commissioner of Imphal West, had served a notice on the publisher/intermediary of “Khanasi Neinasi”, a weekly online discussion, of The Frontier Manipur (TFM), in which he directed the website to furnish “all relevant documents for ensuring compliance”, failing which “steps as deemed fit would be initiated without further notice”.
