In a move to regulate the airing of adult content on television the Information and Broadcasting Ministry has issued an advisory which directs television channels to not to air condom advertisements from 6 am to 10 pm.

The advisory came after a complaint was filed stating that some channels aired the advertisement repeatedly. It also said that the ads were &quot;unsuitable for viewing&quot;.

The ministry added that they had been receiving complaints that the condom ads were indecent, particularly for children.&nbsp;

The restriction has been imposed based on the Clause of the Television Network Rules of 1994.&nbsp;Rule 7(7) and 7(8) of the clause prohibits content that is &quot;indecent, vulger, suggestive, repulsive or offensive themes of treatment.&quot; and which &quot; endangers the safety of the children&quot;.

Citing the clause the ministry directed that television channels should not air such regularly.&nbsp;

The ministry has also warned that not adhering&nbsp;to the advisory would lead to&quot; action as per provision of the rules&quot;.

The government has allowed the telecast of these ads between 10 pm to 5 am.&nbsp; 
 
The advisory was issued on Monday.
