Kathmandu, March 24
The National Assembly has passed the Advertisement Regulation Bill on Sunday.
The bill draft along with a report of Legislation Management Committee on the bill was passed with some amendments by the Upper House today.
The committee’s report had asked for an amendment from clause 1 to 15.
Asked what was amended, Minister for Information and Communication, Gokul Baskota said that this was a new area of legislation, hence the government was only including issues that affected the country at the current moment.
He further added that the bill would be amended if and when required.
The Houses members said that the laws were quite harsh and needed to be toned down a bit.
