New tack despite an earlier statement that these stations could carry news other than AIR bulletins

The ministry of information and broadcasting has informed radio stations that only All India Radio (AIR) news will be allowed on air. News gathered by the Press Trust of India will not be allowed on private FM channels as the government readies to auction licences in smaller cities.
Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar had said he did not see any reason why private FM channels should not carry news other than AIR bulletins. This had raised expectations that rules would be eased for news on private radio stations.
