kindly curtail the occurrence of obscene & vulgar ads of esp deodorants which are being shown in intervals of news channels. Such ads can be shown during the intervals of late night movies/movie channels. Becoz of these ads, even news channels can not be viewed in front of elders/children or if domestic helper is around.

marketing sector is always under pressure due to stiff competition of same model of products. Companies are trying to sell their products in any way and cause misleading advertisements. Most of the people are not aware of quality of products and cheated by companies. People are not aware of Consumer form. Strengthen consumer forms give awareness to public.Medias are taking advertisements for money only and gives note they are not responsible for products.Give responsibility to medias too.

Dear Sir, The most misleading advertisements are about PAN MASALA, it should be treated same as cigarette, as cigarette advertisements are not allowed on TV and printed media, PAN MASALA add should not be allowed on printed and TV media. We all know it causes mouth cancer and lead to death but there are plenty of Pan Masalas are available and advertised on Television. Please stop these advertisements and ban their manufacturing.

A branch of consumer court to check the authenticity of the advertisement regularly. Every ad should accompany a phone number of the consumer court saying that 'contact ----- number in case the ad is found false'.

Dear Sir/Madam, All advertisements should be registered onlinely from government website and then a registration number is given to that particular advertisement maker . Before giving registration number, a team of members is made and they should watch or read his/her advertisement and after watching advertisement, advertisement maker should be given unique registration number for 3 years. Then, we can prevent from misleading advertisements in television channels or newspapers.
