MUSCAT : The announcement comes in response to misinformation being circulated by some social media accounts that failed to contact the organizing parties for accurate information before publishing misleading claims.

The Municipality highlighted that various individuals have engaged with this false information, making unfounded accusations without verifying the facts.

“Some individuals have also engaged with this misinformation and made baseless accusations without verifying the accuracy of the details. The event will include exhibitions of products in the fields of comic books, games, films, and more. It will also host a group of celebrities from the worlds of cinema, literature, and filmmaking, featuring organised discussion sessions and training workshops. Additionally, there will be interactive gaming platforms, board games, and competitive rounds among participants in an entertainment setting,” stated the Municipality notice.

The event may also include digital art exhibitions, live drawing sessions, and educational lectures focused on comic book literature and popular culture, the Municipality noted.

It reassured the public that all events it organizes are suitable for community sensibilities and uphold the values and morals cherished in society. This commitment is reflected in the tender terms and contracts signed with event execution companies.

Furthermore, the Municipality has announced plans to take legal action against anyone intentionally spreading false and misleading information to provoke public opinion via social media.
