Chandigarh bans AXN television channel for two months

UT Chandigarh has restricted the telecast of transmission/re-transmission of AXN Satellite
T.V. Channel up to March 15 by local cable operators.

An order passed by the Chandigarh administration said that in exercise of the powers conferred by Sub-section (2) of Section 20 of the cable television networks (Regulation) Act, 1955 as amended from time to time, District Magistrate had issued such orders. The orders have been issued in public interests as the transmission/re transmission of AXN satellite TV channel was reported to be against good taste and decency and were likely to adversely affect public morality.
