Bangladesh ban Indian satellite TV channel

Dhaka, Mar 19: The Bangladesh Government has banned transmission of an Indian satellite TV channel Tara Bangla in the country.

An official announcement here said the decision was taken against Tara Bangla, a Bengali channel, for not complying with the Private Cable Television Network Operation Rules 2006 properly.

Earlier, the caretaker government clamped down on mushrooming electronic media, proscribing seven private television channels that were on air without proper permission from the Ministry of Information.
