The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has suspended the licence of Marathi news channel Lokshahi for 30 days.
Ministry sources said the action was taken as the channel’s operations, including content creation, were outsourced against the terms and conditions of the permission.
As per Clause 32 of the Uplinking and Downlinking Guidelines-2022, a TV channel or a teleport can be transferred by a company/LLP, granted permission under the Guidelines, to another company/LLP only with the prior approval of the I&B Ministry.
