Yesterday on 14 August 2019 PEMRA enforced a ban on the airing of all Indian content in form of TVCs. This includes ads that are Indian and being broadcast here, or even those that feature Indian celebrity. The decision came in solidarity with Kashimir conflict and heightened tensions with the neighboring country.
