PIB flouts the basic DPDPA Principle

Enclosed is a screen shot of the page

today about the press conference conducted by MeitY for release of DEPA framework for AI Training.

As one can notice, in the bottom there is a notice in Hindi and the Google translation indicates that it is a cookie notice.

PIB is said to be a national resource and the website is meant for viewing by everybody in India including those who are down south and cannot understand Hindi. It is clearly an attempt to impose Hindi through the website which MeitY has been following everywhere. DPDPA expects that such notices should be available in 22 languages.

We need an explanation from PIB why they are providing this legal notice only in Hindi even though the access is from outside the Hindi region.
