&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;The Supreme Court told the Centre on Thursday that it must file its response in four weeks to a PIL by NGO &#039;Common Cause&#039; seeking permission for private FM radio stations and community radio services to broadcast news.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Appearing for the petitioner, advocate Prashant Bhushan told a bench of Justice T S Thakur and Justice D Y Chandrachud that the government on one hand permitted private television channels to broadcast news but on the other, restrained FM radio and community radio services from airing news and current affairs programmes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bench told senior advocate Yashank P Adhyaru, who appeared for the Union government, that no response was filed in this case since 2014. &amp;quot;You must file response within four weeks positively. We must conclude this issue,&amp;quot; it said. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The NGO accused the government of retaining sole control over dissemination of news though radio broadcasting was thrown open to the private sector in 1999. &amp;quot;There have been three rounds of licensing for FM channels so far. At the last count, there were 245 private FM channels and 145 community radio stations in the country. But none of them is allowed to broadcast its own news and current affairs programmes,&amp;quot; the petitioner said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It said India was perhaps the only democracy where dissemination of news and current affairs programmes on radio remained a monopoly of the government-owned broadcaster, Prasar Bharati Corporation, which owns and operates All India Radio/Akashvaani. &amp;quot;None of the USA&#039;s 4,000-plus radio stations, the 2,000-odd stations in Spain or the 1,000-plus stations each in Italy, France, Greece and Australia is barred from airing news and related content,&amp;quot; the NGO said. It also gave details about radio regulations in neighbouring countries like Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.&lt;br /&gt;

We must conclude this issue,&amp;quot; it said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The NGO accused the government of retaining sole control over dissemination of news though radio broadcasting was thrown open to the private sector in 1999. &amp;quot;There have been three rounds of licensing for FM channels so far. At the last count, there were 245 private FM channels and 145 community radio stations in the country. But none of them is allowed to broadcast its own news and current affairs programmes,&amp;quot; the petitioner said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It said India was perhaps the only democracy where dissemination of news and current affairs programmes on radio remained a monopoly of the government-owned broadcaster, Prasar Bharati Corporation, which owns and operates All India Radio/Akashvaani. &amp;quot;None of the USA&#039;s 4,000-plus radio stations, the 2,000-odd stations in Spain or the 1,000-plus stations each in Italy, France, Greece and Australia is barred from airing news and related content,&amp;quot; the NGO said.

&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;The Supreme Court told the Centre on Thursday that it must file its response in four weeks to a PIL by NGO &#039;Common Cause&#039; seeking permission for private FM radio stations and community radio services to broadcast news.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Appearing for the petitioner, advocate Prashant Bhushan told a bench of Justice T S Thakur and Justice D Y Chandrachud that the government on one hand permitted private television channels to broadcast news but on the other, restrained FM radio and community radio services from airing news and current affairs programmes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bench told senior advocate Yashank P Adhyaru, who appeared for the Union government, that no response was filed in this case since 2014. &amp;quot;You must file response within four weeks positively. We must conclude this issue,&amp;quot; it said. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The NGO accused the government of retaining sole control over dissemination of news though radio broadcasting was thrown open to the private sector in 1999. &amp;quot;There have been three rounds of licensing for FM channels so far. At the last count, there were 245 private FM channels and 145 community radio stations in the country. But none of them is allowed to broadcast its own news and current affairs programmes,&amp;quot; the petitioner said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It said India was perhaps the only democracy where dissemination of news and current affairs programmes on radio remained a monopoly of the government-owned broadcaster, Prasar Bharati Corporation, which owns and operates All India Radio/Akashvaani. &amp;quot;None of the USA&#039;s 4,000-plus radio stations, the 2,000-odd stations in Spain or the 1,000-plus stations each in Italy, France, Greece and Australia is barred from airing news and related content,&amp;quot; the NGO said. It also gave details about radio regulations in neighbouring countries like Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.&lt;br /&gt;

But none of them is allowed to broadcast its own news and current affairs programmes,&quot; the petitioner said.<br />
<br />
It said India was perhaps the only democracy where dissemination of news and current affairs programmes on radio remained a monopoly of the government-owned broadcaster, Prasar Bharati Corporation, which owns and operates All India Radio/Akashvaani. &quot;None of the USA's 4,000-plus radio stations, the 2,000-odd stations in Spain or the 1,000-plus stations each in Italy, France, Greece and Australia is barred from airing news and related content,&quot; the NGO said. It also gave details about radio regulations in neighbouring countries like Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.<br />

Allow FM stations to air news, says PIL; Supreme Court seeks govt reply in 4 weeks -Dhananjay Mahapatra

-The Times of India NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court told the Centre on Thursday that it must file its response in four weeks to a PIL by NGO 'Common Cause' seeking permission for private FM radio stations and community radio services to broadcast news. Appearing for the petitioner, advocate Prashant Bhushan told a bench of Justice T S Thakur and Justice D Y Chandrachud that the government on one hand permitted private television channels to broadcast news but on the other, restrained FM radio and community radio services from airing news and current affairs programmes. The bench told senior advocate Yashank P Adhyaru, who appeared for the Union government, that no response was filed in this case since 2014. "You must file response within four weeks positively. We must conclude this issue," it said. The NGO accused the government of retaining sole control over dissemination of news though radio broadcasting was thrown open to the private sector in 1999. "There have been three rounds of licensing for FM channels so far. At the last count, there were 245 private FM channels and 145 community radio stations in the country. But none of them is allowed to broadcast its own news and current affairs programmes," the petitioner said. It said India was perhaps the only democracy where dissemination of news and current affairs programmes on radio remained a monopoly of the government-owned broadcaster, Prasar Bharati Corporation, which owns and operates All India Radio/Akashvaani. "None of the USA's 4,000-plus radio stations, the 2,000-odd stations in Spain or the 1,000-plus stations each in Italy, France, Greece and Australia is barred from airing news and related content," the NGO said.
