Govt bans Telecasting of Condom Ads  from 6 Am to 10 Pm

New Delhi Dec 12: The union government in a move to ensure children don't get impacted by indecent advertisements has ordered the television channels not to air advertisements for condoms from 6 am to 10 pm.

The information and broadcasting (I&B) ministry in an advisory issued to all television channels said that "advertising for condoms will only be allowed between 10 pm and 6 am. Some channels carry ads of condoms repeatedly which are alleged to be indecent specially for children".

Officials of the ministry said that "The move was to avoid exposure of such material to children and to ensure strict adherence to the provisions".
