Its rightly pointed out that what is the scope, role and responsibility of ASCI (Advertising Standards Council of India) who is supposed to check the veracity of the claims made by various advertisers to protect the consumers.

Imagine the plight of other gullible Rural consumers who does not even have enough/right source or wherewithal to check such claims and fall prey . There must a right and effective mechanism to check and implement strict control on such misleading advertisements. more
