The Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) has written to the IPL Chairperson urging for a ban on tobacco and alcohol advertisements during the upcoming IPL season scheduled to commence on 22nd March 2025. The initiative is part of a social and moral responsibility to promote a healthier lifestyle among the viewers. DGHS emphasized the adverse effects of tobacco and alcohol consumption on public health and the need to discourage their promotion through popular platforms like IPL. This move aligns with the government’s efforts to curb the use of harmful substances and create awareness about the risks associated with them. By restricting tobacco and alcohol ads, IPL can contribute to a positive social impact and set a responsible example for other sporting events in the country. It remains to be seen how the IPL authorities will respond to this appeal and whether they will implement the proposed restrictions on such advertisements in the upcoming season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
