evidence: In July 2023, a viral series of posts on social media, particularly on Facebook and Twitter, claimed that Nepal had banned all Indian channels except DD News. One Facebook post, written in Hindi, suggested that Nepal had taken this step because it was "frustrated by people who were loud and aggressive" or those who made claims about the country. [...] One such report from Deccan Chronicle from July 10, 2020, reported that Nepal suspended the transmission of all Indian private news channels, except state-broadcaster Doordarshan. The decision to ban Indian private channels in Nepal was prompted by several channels allegedly broadcasting content that negatively impacted Nepal's national sentiment. [...] The claim that all Indian news channels with the exception of DD News are banned in Nepal is misleading. This ban was imposed for a limited time in 2020 but was later lifted. The recent circulation of this outdated news is inaccurate and misrepresents the current situation.
