I&B urges IBF, NBA to exercise restraint in content selection
MUMBAI :The information and broadcasting (I&B) ministry has issued an advisory to the Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF) and News Broadcasters Association (NBA) to direct their member channels not to telecast any news item which may endanger the life of a person.
In the advisory, I&B ministry has also desired IBF and NBA to ensure that their member channels exercise restraint in selection of their content for broadcast.
The ministry has issued the advisory on a request from National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR). The commission had raised objection by writing to the ministry on the repeated telecast of the live interview of the balloon seller who is a key witness to the Delhi blast.
The NCPCR said that it has found the act of media as insensitive and negligent which endangered the life of Rahul, a 12-year boy, with no one to protect or advise him of the serious consequences. It has also observed that media exhibited reckless behaviour and instead of having concern for the safety they allowed the identity of the child to be exhibited to the nation in their attempt to encash on the sad tragedy.

Business Today MindRush returns to Mumbai, spotlight on India’s edge in a fractured world
Policymakers and corporate heavyweights gather to map supply chains, energy security and markets
MUMBAI: As fault lines widen across global trade and geopolitics, Business Today is doubling down on India’s moment. The 14th edition of Business Today MindRush & Best CEOs Awards lands in Mumbai on March 28, pitching India’s strategic edge at the centre of a fragmenting world.
The day-long summit, presented by PwC, will bring together a tight mix of policymakers, industry leaders and market voices to decode shifting supply chains, maritime strategy, defence priorities, energy security and capital markets—sectors now deeply entangled with geopolitics.
M Nagaraju, secretary, department of financial services, ministry of finance, will headline the event, setting the tone for discussions that aim to track how India is repositioning itself amid disrupted trade routes and volatile energy dynamics.
The speaker slate reads like a cross-section of India Inc’s command centre. Krishna Swaminathan will zero in on sea lanes and supply chains, while Prashant Ruia is set to push the case for self-reliance in oil and gas. Ashish Chauhan will weigh in on capital markets at a pivotal juncture, as a panel featuring Vibha Padalkar, Sanjiv Mehta, Amish Mehta and Sanjeev Krishan debates navigating economic uncertainty.
Leadership under pressure will be another running theme. Madhavkrishna Singhania, Sharvil Patel, Karan Bhagat and Anurag Choudhary will unpack how businesses are steering through disruption. Arun Alagappan will turn the spotlight on fertilisers, Arundhati Bhattacharya will reflect on leadership transitions, while Anish Shah and S Vellayan will outline blueprints for building future-ready conglomerates.
The event will close with Aroon Purie setting the broader editorial lens, before the Best CEOs Awards recognise standout corporate leadership across sectors.
At a time when the global order looks increasingly splintered, MindRush 2026 is positioning itself as more than a conference—it is a signal that India intends not just to navigate the churn, but to shape it.
