Controversial ads off air

New Delhi: Two controversial advertisements for undergarments have been pulled off air by several television channels during the last two days.

After complaints from viewers that some undergarment advertisements were suggestive in nature, the Information and Broadcasting Ministry issued an order asking all broadcasters to withdraw them.

According to a representative of a television channel, who did not wish to be quoted, the Ministry had sent the order to all the TV channels airing these advertisements.

The Centre had recently asked certain television channels to run scrolls apologising to viewers for running these advertisements. The channels ran the scrolls for three days. — PTI
