Sri Lanka state to censor unsuitable tele drama and songs

Sri Lanka Ministry of Culture says that a new bill will be brought soon to censor broadcasting unsuitable tele drama and songs.

With implementation of the proposed act, the the tele drama producers will have to obtain the approval for the production from the Public Performances Control Board before telecasting it through TV channels.

The song writers will have to submit their lyrics to the Public Performances Control Board and the songs will be inspected by the board even after music is composed, the Ministry says.

A Ministry spokesman said that the the move is due to complaints from the public over the unsuitable content of the tele drama and songs.
