Take a relook at COVID-19 ringtone: HC
The Hindu
Govt. told to keep publicising helpline numbers and information to educate public
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday said the Centre needs to relook at the COVID-19 ringtone saying it should “cut out the preface and come to the main point” which contains information about the helpline numbers. “It is like starting a writ petition with ‘most respectfully” and nobody is reading it and even not interested. You need to be a little proactive in your approach. People are aware of COVID-19 protocol,” a Bench of Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Jasmeet Singh said. “It is high time that you updated them with COVID-19 helpline number, which is the most important part of the message. You have to be agile on your feet on this,” the Bench told the Central government’s counsel.
