You seem to be not only misinterpreting the rules, but also are reading between the lines. Repeal and savings is mormally with reference to the previous set of rules, which are replaced by the current set of rules.
You should also see rule pertaining to relations with press and media.
While question of intimation is not called for, you won't be allowed even if you seek permission of the competent authority, as you are not entitled to hold any press conferrence on official matters.
