The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) has issued an advisory against live coverage of anti-terrorist operations by news & current affairs channels in wake of the on-going anti-terrorist operations in Gurdaspur, Punjab.
The advisory mentions that it has been brought to the notice of the MIB that during today’s on-going anti-terrorist operations in Gurdaspur, Punjab, some news & current affairs TV channels have carried telecast of these operations without restricting themselves to periodic briefing by an officer designated by the appropriate government, though the operations had not been concluded.
Such a telecast is in clear violation of the Cable Television Networks (Amendment) Rules, 2015, and is therefore liable for action thereunder.
The advisory asks channels to desist from further violation of the said rules with immediate effect.
