If the BCs were serious about controlling illegal advertising by advocates they would actually regulate it properly. The restrictions about websites are archaic and pointless and there are no rules to really regulate what you can do on Whatsapp or social media. Everyone has a Linked-in profile, showcasing their expertise. Does anyone care?

But they make a big song and dance very time they take some “measures”

CHANDIGARH: Taking strict note of advertising by advocates on social media platforms, especially Facebook and WhatsApp groups, by uploading their videos and photographs, the state bar council of Punjab and Haryana has decided to initiate action against them.

What does this even mean? “getting their names published in newspapers with reference to conduct of cases”? Is the bar council upset that their own names are not mentioned enough? What world do they live in?
