Govt. fixes Rs 130 per month as cable service charges, cable operators refuse to tow policy lines

Bengaluru: One of the major announcements made by the state government in the budget session was that from April onwards, the cable service charges per month will be capped at Rs.130. But in Bengaluru, cable operators have openly violating the government direction in this regard and have been collecting Rs.300 month per month.

According to the state government announcement, across the state, cable charges per month will be capped at Rs.130 following the complains that few cable operators are exploiting the viewers. Few law makers also alleged that cable operators are supplying Made in China set top boxes and are earning huge commission. Following these charges, state government issued directions that monthly cable fee would be capped at Rs.130 per connection.
