MIB held a public consultation on the Broadcasting Bill, 2023 from November 2023 till January 2024 & in February 2024 we filed an RTI seeking copies of the comments received (with personal info redacted) as part of the public consultation.

After some friction & resistance, we received a limited set of responses.
