'Silent emergency': Punjab cops hold up newspaper delivery vehicles; press club condemns action
Punjab Police detained newspaper delivery vehicles early Sunday, sparking outrage from opposition parties and the media. Critics allege the move, which delayed newspaper distribution, is an attempt to suppress reporting on the 'Sheesh Mahal' controversy. Police cited intelligence inputs about smuggling, but the action has been widely condemned as an attack on press freedom.
