NEW DELHI: Seventy-three complaints have been received against obscene and vulgar advertisements on private television channels by the regulatory bodies over the past three years, the government has told parliament.
In a written reply in the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting L Murugan said the complaints were “suitably” addressed by a three-level grievance redress system.
Murugan said the mechanism, established under the Cable Television Networks (Amendment) Rules, includes self-regulation by broadcasters, self-regulation by self-regulating bodies of the broadcasters, and an oversight mechanism of the central government.
