No selfies, scan QR codes to get photos with TN ministers

CHENNAI: Visitors walking into the chambers of ministers at the secretariat will no longer be able to pull out their phones for a quick picture or reel. But they won’t walk away empty-handed either. A QR code displayed outside the chamber will allow them to download a professionally clicked photograph with the minister on the same day.

The move comes in the wake of a recent incident in which a visitor recorded a video inside Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay’s chamber. Soon, the ministers imposed a blanket ban on the use of mobile phones to take photographs or videos inside their chambers at Fort St George, a senior minister told TNIE.
