NEW DELHI: While news programmes are broadcast on many Indian television channels, sirens can be heard blaring in the background, forcing anchors to raise their voices as they discuss the latest developments in the conflict between India and Pakistan.
This prompted the Home Ministry on Saturday (May 10) to issue an advisory to TV channels to stop using civil defence air raid sirens – meant to capture the viewer’s attention – on their programmes.
