You can bring the notice to the ministry. The Union Ministry for Information and Broadcasting posted the Broadcasting Services Regulation Bill, 2007 (https://www.mib.nic.in/Bill200707.pdf) and the accompanying Content Code – aka Self-Regulation Guidelines for the Broadcasting Sector (July 07 version https://www.mib.nic.in/Code200707.pdf, revised March 08 version www.mib.nic.in/informationb/CODES/ContentCode100308.pdf) – on its website and announced a two-week deadline for responses to the draft documents.
