Television transmission unaffected in Aurangabad

Aurangabad, Maharashtra, Aug 21 (UNI) Television transmission remained unaffected in the city, as cable operators continued their services notwithstanding agitation launched by the cable operators in Mumbai today.

Mr Shailesh Nilkanth, President, Aurangabad Cable Operators Association (ACOA), described the action initiated by the authorities against the cable operators in Mumbai, as a 'wrong move.'
