Govt issues guidelines barring TV channels from reporting about actress's impending delivery

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B) has sent some guidelines barring the channels from reporting about Aishwarya Rai's impending delivery.

Apparently inspired by a tweet by Amitabh Bachchan, the Broadcast Editor's association has set some strict guidelines for television channels.

Apart from other guidelines, it says that the channels cannot place their OB vans outside the hospital or any other location and no MMS or photography of the child can be shown unless the Bachchan family voluntarily parts with it.

So those of you expecting to get a minute-by-minute coverage of the arrival of the child are in for a disappointment.
