The advisory said that it has come to the Information and Broadcasting Ministry's notice that some news channels have been broadcasting “content related to alleged persons involved in Red Fort blasts, justifying their acts of violence, as well as information or videos of how to make explosive material”.

Such broadcasts may inadvertently encourage or incite violence, disrupt public order, and pose risks to national security, the advisory said.
