MUMBAI: Government has said that it will take action against television channels which are playing political advertisements despite campaigning coming to an end on 27 November.

‘We are starting the process of taking action against television channels. We will soon be sending notices to them and action would be taken against them,” the IANS report quoted Delhi chief electoral officer Satbir Silas Bedi as saying.

Officials decided to take action against television channels when they noticed that many of them were airing ads of political parties even after the deadline for poll campaigning in Delhi was over at 5 pm on Thursday.
