Soni met Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and asked her to ensure that all households having cable TV connection installed digital set top box (STB) before the deadline.
"Only 70 per cent people in Delhi have installed the digital device while in Mumbai 90 per cent people have installed it. The percentage for Kolkata is 77 and for Chennai it is around 70," she said.
The Union Minister said though Delhi was lagging behind in installation of STBs, she was confident that 100 per cent household would install the digital device by October 31 as Dikshit had assured full implementation of the decision of I and B Ministry.
Resolving to implement the "major reform initiative", the Union Minister said the deadline for installation of STBs in four metros is not going to be extended any further. "There is not going to be any extension of the deadline."
The Information and Broadcasting Ministry had extended the earlier deadline of June 20 to October 31 following demand by cable operators.
