Political and religious Television channels may shut down
Television channels run by religious and political entities may not stay on air for long, if the government accepts the recommendations of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).
TRAI is the policy recommending body for the broadcast sector.
TRAI chairperson Nripendra Misra, in his letter to Information & Broadcasting Secretary Sushma Singh, said restricting religious and political organisations from running TV channels "will ensure the... medium is used for advancing public interest" and "for greater realisation of the common man's right to be informed fully and fairly".
TRAl has recommended that such channels be phased out in three-four years.
