“The issue has been pending for the last two years. Our teams are conducting checks. We have some names of errant operators,” an official from the district entertainment department said.

According to officials, the licences of cable operators have to be renewed every year, which has not been done by many of them.

TRAI rules for local cable operators providing services through digital addressable systems (DAS) say that their registration with the head post office before offering services is mandatory and the renewal of registration should be done every year. Rules also say that there is a need to enter into a written interconnection agreement with the multi-system operator whose signal is being carried, besides ensuring that an MOU is signed within 15 days from the date of signing of agreement.
