State govt bans circulation of docs, files on social media

Taking serious note of office memorandums/documents being leaked on social media, the P&AR department has cautioned those officials  of action.

Circulation of important documents/file notings, were being circulated through “electronic media” even before approval by competent authority, has come to the notice of the government, hampering decision making, it said.

According to an official bulletin, the department of P&AR, in a circular, has therefore impressed upon all the government officials that disclosure of important government documents without approval from competent authority would invite initiation of disciplinary proceedings for violation of Rule 21 of Nagaland Government Servants Conduct Rules 1968.
