The government has directed that all types of advertisements and information be published/broadcast only through government media, saying that it will bring economy in government expenditure and maintain uniformity in information publication.
The Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers made a secretary-level decision on Wednesday and issued such a circular to all bodies at the federal, provincial and local levels. According to a letter issued by the office's branch officer Binod Regmi, from now on, advertisements from public bodies will not be available through private media.
