Explanation

Section 4(4) requires materials to be disseminated considering cost effectiveness, local language and the most effective local method of communication. The Explanation defines dissemination to include notice boards, newspapers, public announcements, media broadcasts, the internet or any other means, including inspection of offices. Limiting it to the internet or to two languages is wrong.
