Central Ministry Advises TV Channels To Not Run Condom Ads From 6:00 Am And 10:00 Pm

In some Indian households, when a condom advertisement is displayed on TV, parents are actually embarrassed in front of their kids and this, unfortunately, does happen across our country. As this situation is common across the country, the government advised TV channels not to air advertisements between 6:00 am and 10:00 pm as promoting condoms during that time are indecent and can affect children.
