 "Assam TV channel ban: How Twitter reacted to Modi govt's move")
After the NDTV India ban, the Information and Broadcasting (I&B) ministry ordered News Time Assam, an Assam-based news channel, to go off air for a day on November 9 for violating programming norms.
The I&B ministry order dated on November 2 said that the channel was to be taken off air for one day.
Quoting the I&B ministry order, news agency IANS said: "It was alleged by the Child Welfare Committee that this channel telecast a clear video clipping of a male child aged about 7 years who was reported to have been brutally tortured while working as a domestic servant at the residence of a government servant."
"News Time channel disclosed the identity of the minor by revealing his name and showing his face without blurring or morphing. Revelation of identity could scar the child for life," the order added.
Here, Business Standard gives you an assortment of some interesting Twitter reactions to the move:
