In a bid to enhance national security and prevent potential breaches during defence operations, the Centre has prohibited live media coverage of such events. This move comes in the wake of historical security lapses like the Kargil War and the 26/11 attack, emphasizing the need for responsible reporting practices. The advisory, prompted by escalating tensions post the Pahalgam attack, urges media outlets to exercise caution and refrain from real-time coverage and source-based reporting that could jeopardize national security. By limiting live coverage of defence operations, the government aims to safeguard sensitive information and prevent any inadvertent disclosures that could compromise ongoing missions. This advisory underscores the critical importance of media responsibility and national security considerations in reporting on sensitive matters.
