APC, APUWJ Set Boundaries on Media Coverage of Bandh in Arunachal Pradesh

The Arunachal Pradesh Congress (APC) and the Arunachal Pradesh United Workers' Joint (APUWJ) announced a joint statement on Thursday, calling for a higher standard of media ethics in reporting the recent statewide bandh. The parties criticised what they described as sensationalist coverage that, they said, could inflame tensions and misinform the public. They urged media houses to present balanced accounts, verify facts before publication, and avoid sensational headlines. The statement was released by senior leaders of both parties during a joint press conference in the state capital.
