A question on the hyperlinking policy of govt websites. Is prior permission needed for sharing resources that are for crime reporting too?

When I see reddit posts that talk about scams, suspected scams etc, I share the cybergov and sanchar sathi sfc links to them.

Recently noticed that their website policies has a hyperlink policy subsection that says that prior permission should be obtained by websites/portals to publish hyperlinks to the site.

Technically, would it mean that if I comment it on reddit, then reddit has to have obtained permission to publish the hyperlink?

Tho, I think according to reddit ToS, the submitter is supposed to have obtained the permissions/rights to whatever content they are sharing.

So, is it better to just mention the portals now onwards rather than share links to them?
