There is no clarity in the rules regarding streaming services, an official release quoted the chief minister as saying in the letter. The availability of “inappropriate” content without any censorship is “unacceptable”, Kumar said, urging the PM to take necessary steps to bring programmes broadcast through streaming platforms within the ambit of certification under the Cinematograph Act, 1952.
