The Yogi government of UP has cracked down on the policemen who are engaged on social media while on duty. Now no policeman will be able to use social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram etc. for personal use while on duty. Even after duty, there has been a ban on making reels in uniform. Live telecast on social media platforms from workplace has also been prohibited.
Along with this, a ban has also been imposed on live telecast of police station, police line or office inspection and participation in police drill or firing or uploading video related to the proceedings on social media. Doing so would be considered a breach of confidentiality. It has also been made mandatory to take permission from a senior officer before participating in coaching, lectures, live telecasts, chats, webinars, etc., when invited as a guest.
