In a recent notification, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA), on Thursday, banned the ARY Digital’s drama Jalan. The reason behind the ban was cited to be the complaints received to the regulatory authority by the viewers for indecent content.
In the notice issued by Pemra, it was said that Jalan did not align with the cultural and societal values of the country. The notice went on to add that the Minal Khan, Emaad Irfaani serial went against the ethics and morals of Pakistan.
The statement further reads that the regulatory body had given repeated warnings to the channel earlier as well to revise the content of the aforementioned show, however, since no changes were made and the warnings fell on deaf ears, the show ha now been banned under Section 27 of the Pemra Ordinance.

Yes its banned but what about Dil Ruba, what about other dramas alike jalan, atleast they could end the drama by something like either the latter nisha becomes mad or die. Anyways I was disappointed to know just as reaching to 32 episode they banned the drama where it could ended easily instead of banning it.
it is a good step by pemra to ban such dramas. but why they haven't ban drama "Dil ruba" where the sanum second husband committed an adultery and the writers and producers have normalize it so much like they haven't done anything wrong............
Brilliant stuff by Pemra, step should have been taken much earlier, but no worries "der aye duruat aye", the writers, producers, actors and directors of such shows should be held liable for promoting such blasphemous things.
W really don't think there was any indecent or vulgarity content was shown in this drama serial It's the fact and reality which is happening now adays everywhere.
