The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued an advisory directing private satellite television channels to follow broadcasting regulations more strictly. The advisory warns broadcasters against programming that promotes communal or “anti-national” attitudes and cautions against the inappropriate use of artificial intelligence, sensational reporting, and disturbing visuals. Violations could lead to action under the Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995.
