मीडिया के लिए नए दिशा-निर्देश जारी
meeDiya ke lie nae dishaa-nirdesh jaaree
"New directives in force for the media"
Notes:
  1. दिशा-निर्देश is an interesting compound. Both elements are Sanskritic borrowings from the same root, दिश diśa meaning "point, direction". So the meaning is something like "pointing out the direction".
  2. जारी is another Arabic participle in Hindi guise, in this case the active participle of جري "to run". So it's the etymological equivalent of "current" and has the meaning of "in force" when applied to laws and regulations.
