The Jammu & Kashmir Government has asked all the deputy commissioners (DCs) of the State to take action against transmission of 34 TV channels, including those from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, saying they have the potential to incite violence and create law and order situation.
The directive comes after the Centre asked the State Government to take immediate steps to stop the unauthorised broadcast of Pakistani and Saudi Arabian channels in the State.
“It has been reported that the cable operators in the Valley have been transmitting certain TV channels which are not permitted by the Information and Broadcasting Ministry,” an order issued to all DCs said.
