Shuaib MasoodiThe Jammu and Kashmir government has asked all deputy commissioners to ensure that no Pakistani TV channel is aired in the Valley. The directive comes a day after the Centre asked the state government to ensure that unauthorised beaming of such channels in Kashmir is blocked. He told the deputy commissioners they “can seize the equipment” of cable operators who transmit such channels. Referring to some media reports that non-permitted TV channels were being aired in Kashmir, Goyal asked them to “ensure that urgent necessary action” is taken in the matter. The list of “non-permitted TV channels”, issued by Goyal, includes most Pakistani news and entertainment channels, including PTV Sports.
