ASSAM: DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION OF DIMA HASAO APPEALED NOT TO BE A PART OF RUMOURS

The District Adminstration of Dima Hasao has appealed to the people of Dima Hasao not to be swayed away by all rumours instigating hatred mostly in the social media such as facebook, twitter, whatsapp etc. There have been reports that some people are spreading rumours and posting objectionable updates through social media thereby indulging and instigating the users to make Communal and objectionable comments on such posts.

The appeal reads further not to react to such posts that may be a threat to the peace and tranquillity in the district. Social media can be wonderful medium of expression but this should be used judiciously just as the social etiquettes giving greater sense of freedom of expression through online networks.

Any comments or posts that might hurt the sentiments of an individual, community, religion or organisation directly or indirectly is termed offensive and Assam Police has taken the matter seriously and action is already being taken against such rumour mongers and behaviour on line.

People are appealed that in any course of time if such offensive posts, updates or comments are to be seen in the social media should act immediately by informing the District Administration or the Assam Police.
