Department of Information stops renewing online media

The Department of Information and Broadcasting (DoIB) has informed that it would no longer register and renew online media. 

Issuing a notice on Tuesday, the DoIB said that it stopped registering and renewing online media in the wake of the changed rule.

The DoIB issued such a notice after the government decided to get the online media registered from the District Administration Offices. 

The government made such a provision by amending Some Nepal Act.

Earlier, the DoIB was registering and renewing the online media as per Online Media Operation Directive, 2073.
