Press Trust of India New Delhi
The tussle between government and journalists over entry into Delhi Secretariat was today resolved to some extent with the AAP government allowing "conditional entry" to scribes.

The government's stand comes after a delegation of Delhi Press Accreditation Committee (DPAC) met the senior officials.

DPAC chairman Ratnesh Mishra said, "According to government's decision, journalists with DIP accreditation cards can enter the Secretariat at 3 PM onwards.

"Journalists who don't have DIP accreditation cards will have to get entry pass issued in their names at the reception before entering the Secretariat."

Mishra said, "Government has also decided to review the entry of journalists every month."
 

Government has already made it clear that it has not banned the media entry into the Delhi Secretariat, but some restrictions were imposed on their entry.
