The statement also noted that for the year 2023, the panel of judges opted not to nominate anyone for the ‘Best Editor Award on National Integration & Communal Harmony’ category, as there was only one entry, devoid of any competition.
These awards will be distributed to the awardees on National Press Day Observation, to be held at the Durbar Hall of Chief Minister’s Secretariat on November 16.
