Digitization: Analogue cable homes in Kolkata continue to receive signals

[IndianMascot]

Kolkata remained largely unaffected by the digitization deadline thanks to West Bengal chief minister Mamata Bannerjee's diktat to cable operators not to swtich off signals to analogue homes.

Siti Cable Kolkata Director Suresh Sethia said that the West Bengal government had told the operators against discontinuing signals to analogue homes as it feared that there would be chaos in the city a large number of homes which are yet to be digitized.

"All the channels are available to analogue subscribers," he claimed. "The Chief Minister (Mamata Bannerjee) had clearly told that the signals should not be switched off, otherwise there would be law and order situation."

Sethia's claim was supported by the head of a rival MSO who did not wished to be identified, "Let's be practical, we are doing business in Kolkata and we can't go against state government's diktat. The state government is obviously concerned about the law and order situation if analogue homes go blank," he said.

This lady will screw Kolkata to hell. She pretends to be a Ruler of some kingdom.

Makes her own rules and assumes herself that citizens are happy. People like her encourage cable mafia.

Shamefull attempt by a Chief Minister.
