The Film Censor Board has introduced new procedures, amending the 'Film Censorship Procedures, 2082', which was implemented from December 2. Following strong opposition from filmmakers, the board has introduced new procedures titled 'Film Censorship and Classification Procedures, 2082'.

This procedure has been introduced with the aim of classifying films rather than cutting them. ‘The committee shall classify the film according to the age group of the audience, taking into account the content, dialogue, scenes and the mental health of children and adolescents, including violence, sex, nudity, drugs, language, context of the story, purpose and main theme of the story, and issue a certificate with the following logo for public screening,’ the procedure states in point number 5 of the procedure.

Filmmakers who had previously suggested amending the procedure have now expressed their support for this procedure. ‘We, all the concerned film workers, express our positive support for the Film Censorship and Classification Procedure 2082 issued by the Central Film Censorship Committee under the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology on Magh 1, 2082,’ the statement made public by the concerned group states.
