Drive against cable operators

10 Oct, 2004

Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) is launching a province-wide campaign against cable operators relaying obscene channels and programmes.
The campaign is being launched on growing public complaints against such operators.
The Pemra has started issuing show cause notices to cable operators indulging in violating the Pemra's rules and regulations.
Meanwhile Pemra has sought co-operation of police department for its proposed campaign. The department has agreed to provide two police mobiles for the drive.
The Regional Pemra Chief Waseem Ahmed has advised the people to contact the Authority at 111-736-111 to lodge their complaints against cable operators relaying obscene channels and programmes. He warned the cable operators to immediately stop relaying illegal channels and abide by Pemra rules and regulations.
