The CP further assured the NUJ Anti-Quackery Task Force that the Command would provide the necessary support whenever required, particularly in cases involving criminal impersonation, fraud, intimidation or other unlawful activities, while ensuring that all actions remain within the provisions of the law.
He urged genuine journalists to continue to uphold the ethics of the profession and assured them that the Command would continue to maintain an open-door policy and constructive engagement with the media.
The NUJ delegation expressed appreciation to the Commissioner of Police for his warm reception and commitment to supporting the Union’s anti-quackery campaign, while pledging to continue to support and collaborate with the Command in crime prevention and decent reportage.
