New Delhi, Mar 29: Notwithstanding the print media out of the ongoing nationwide lockdown, newspapers did not reach homes in many parts of the country, including Delhi, since March 24.
Delhi Police Commissioner S N Shrivastava has asked the beat officers to ensure that no newspaper vendor or distributor is stopped from doing their duties.
