The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued a directive to all states, urging them to exercise caution when disclosing details about the seizure of radioactive materials. This move comes after several recent incidents involving the recovery of dangerous substances.
The Importance of Confidentiality
The MHA emphasized the importance of maintaining confidentiality in such cases to prevent unnecessary panic. Publicly revealing information too soon can potentially compromise ongoing investigations and lead to widespread fear.
Safety Protocols Must Be Followed
In its advisory, the MHA reminded states that safety protocols must always be prioritized when dealing with hazardous materials. Law enforcement agencies are expected to handle such situations carefully, ensuring public safety is not jeopardized by premature media exposure.
Avoiding Public Panic
The primary concern behind the MHA’s directive is the risk of creating widespread panic. Seizures of radioactive material can be alarming, and rushed media reports can amplify fear, leading to unnecessary disruptions.
As the MHA continues to work with state governments, the focus remains on securing radioactive materials safely and discreetly. The Ministry urges authorities to ensure that all details are handled appropriately before releasing information to the public.
