The draft bill had said that within a period of one month from the notification of the proposed legislation, OTT broadcasting service operators and digital news broadcasters would have to provide an intimation to the Union government about their operations.

What's wrong in creating guidelines? The existing law is past it's expiry - as it doesn't cover streaming / OTT under it. Which is now a primary thing and linear has taken a back seat. Plus, lot of digital channels are coming forth - which aren't in the gambit of Broadcasting Ministry. Plus, the technology is now allowing digital TV and radio transmissions - which too need regulation and guideline. So calling them draconian - is it really correct? Yes people who are spreading filth and propaganda against someone - needs a leash on them.
