The total number of cable connections in Reasi District is around 2,470 which are provided by three cable operators informed DIO-Parvinder Kour. She added that everyone needs to collaborate rightly and to be patient. The Government of India had passed an Ordinance, mandating the digitisation of the cable services in the country. The amendment, which was made in the section 9 of the Cable TV Networks Ordinance, 1995, was an attempt to improve the quality of cable TV and push the scope for more cable TV channels in the country. Post digitisation, viewers can access digital content and services through a Set-Top Box (STB) or in the IPTV mode.
ADC has asked the people that if they have any complaints about the content, quality, distribution or pricing of cable network they can contact Office of District Magistrate or District Information Center Reasi.
