Stop Spreading Misleading News During Dashain In Nepal In 2083. The great festival of Dashain is underway in Nepal, and as we reach this third day, joy has filled every household. However, during this festive season, some fellow journalists tend to report or spread negative news; I earnestly request that they refrain from doing so.
Misinformation is frequently spread across platforms like TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. However, because TikTok is widely used by Nepalis, it has become a common venue for spreading false information; this trend significantly affects businesses, as much misleading content circulates there.
After all, a media professional must uphold quality and truthfulness; if legal action is taken against you, you must be able to present the necessary evidence and conduct your work accordingly. Moreover, in the current climate, this entails significant challenges and difficulties.
If you are writing a news report, please ensure you understand the details; if updates have been released on official sites, you can share the information accordingly and use it to provide the latest updates. However, you must fully grasp the situation before proceeding with the matter.
There are official websites as well as news sites that are constantly updated by people working on them. These individuals provide updates based on an understanding of the situation in Nepal, ensuring that information—supported by evidence—is kept current at all times.
I would like to make a request: please do not spread misleading information about Dashain offers—claiming one thing while offering another. You can verify details by visiting the physical locations of grocery stores, other shops, or hotels; alternatively, you can call them or check with someone directly, or even visit the premises in person if you are nearby.
Many activities take place during Dashain, and immediate action must be taken against those who spread misinformation; such action ensures they do not repeat the behaviour. If they do wish to proceed, they should make a formal request backed by evidence, which would also make the process much smoother.
