Justice Gita Mittal appointed chairperson of broadcasters’ self regulatory body

MUMBAI: The Board of Directors of the Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF) has appointed Justice Gita Mittal, former chief justice of Jammu & Kashmir high court, as the new chairperson of Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC).

Founded in June 2011, BCCC is the independent self-regulatory body set up by the IBF to examine content-related complaints relating to all non-news and general entertainment channels in India.

Mittal will succeed former supreme court judge, Justice Vikramajit Sen, whose tenure as BCCC chairperson has ended.

“I look forward to joining BCCC in its unique journey of self-regulation, which also promises to be an exciting and challenging one,” Mittal said.
