Scribes get conditional entry to Secretariat

Staff Reporter

The tussle between Government and journalists over entry into Delhi Secretariat was resolved to some extent with the AAP Government allowing “conditional entry” to scribes.

The Government’s stand comes after a delegation of Delhi Press Accreditation Committee (DPAC) met the senior officials. DPAC

chairman Ratnesh Mishra said, “According to Government’s decision, journalists with DIP accreditation cards can enter the Secretariat at 3 pm onwards.

“Journalists who don’t have DIP accreditation cards will have to get entry pass issued in their names at the reception before entering the Secretariat,” Mishra added.
