On March 26, 2025, journalists were denied entry to a session of the “Civil Advisory Council,” a consultative body of the Akhaltsikhe Municipality City Hall. Journalists from Samkhretis Karibche and TOK TV who arrived at the location were told that they could not enter the public institution because the meeting had already started.

According to Samkhretis Karibche, City Hall has not been providing information about the scheduling of council meetings for months. The media outlet also reports that this information is not being published publicly by the municipality.
