Lucknow, Nov 28 (PTI) About 63 per cent parents who have young children want a regulatory authority to curb sex and violence in TV programmes, particularly those telecast in the prime time slot, a new survey has revealed.
With children these days spending more and more time in front of the idiot box, their parents want new laws to check the depiction of sex and violence in the programmes, the survey conducted by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) said.
According to the survey conducted on over 2,000 children of different age groups and 3,000 parents in Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, Cochin, Chennai, Hyderabad, Indore, Patna, Pune, Chandigarh and Dehradun, almost ten per cent violence among children and adolescents was because of the "glorification" of violence in TV programmes.
