You may be aware that Information & Cultural Affairs Department is entrusted with the responsibility of releasing all advertisements (display, tender and missing person’s notices) in the print and electronic media on behalf of different departments in conformity with the policy guidelines of the State Government.
Some departments have been releasing advertisements directly where the norms/ guidelines laid by the State Government are not being maintained.

This will take immediate effect.
Yours faithfully,
