No Holiday on Aug 9 for Schools and Colleges, Wrong Information Circulated on Social Media – DC
Mangaluru: There are rumours in the social media that the Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada, Sasikanth Senthil has announced holiday for Schools and Colleges on August 9 which is far from the truth.
In a press statement issued by the information officer, the Deputy Commissioner has not announced any holiday on August 9, as he will be visiting the flood-affected areas in the district. The press note which is being circulated in the social media is of August 7.
In the press statement, it is also stated that those who misguide the public by circulating the edited old press note on holidays will be severely punished. The deputy commissioner has already informed the police department to take action against those who circulate the edited old press statement on holiday for Schools and colleges and create confusion among the public.
Announcement of any holiday by the DC will be done through the information department, the press note stated.
