The government on Monday said a committee is keeping a constant watch to ensure that public broadcaster Doordarshan (DD) covers in a balanced way both treasury and opposition benches in the Rajya Sabha.

Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar said during the Question Hour: "Balanced broadcasting is the purpose of a public broadcaster."
To a query on poor quality of DD service and steps taken by the government to improve it, the minister said it was a "matter of fact" and added, "improving quality is an ongoing process and efforts are on."
