Himachal Pradesh restricts police media interactions

In Himachal Pradesh, a new rule says that police officers who are not very high-ranking (like DIG or SP) cannot talk to the news media.

Only the top police officers in each area can talk to the media, and they need permission from their bosses first.

The rule is to keep things organized and make sure everyone follows the rules.

But some news reporters say this is not good because it might hide important information from the public.

They worry that if something big happens, it might be hard for one officer to handle all the questions.

The rule is based on old laws that say government workers can't share information without permission.
