The government has banned fashion TV channel FTV for 10 days from March 12, accusing it of broadcasting images of �semi-nude women�. The ban will be effective from 7 pm, March 12, till 7 pm on March 21.
The Information and Broadcasting Ministry alleged FTV showed �women with nude upper body� and this was offending against good taste and decency.
According to a statement, a programme on FTV channel telecast on September 4, 2009, showed "women with nude upper body which was offending against good taste and decency."
The ministry had prohibited its transmission from April 1 to May 30, 2007 but this was revoked May 25, 2007 after FTV.com India channel regretted its error and assured that such a thing will not be repeated in future, the statement said.
