The Information Ministry issued the order cancelling the permission mandatory for television broadcast in the country.
“Based on the Cabinet committee’s decision, free-to-air TV channel Peace TV’s downlink permission has been cancelled for violating downlink conditions,” the ministry said. Its spokesman said copies of the circular have been sent to Home Ministry, press information department, state-run BTV and cable operators association KOAB.
“Its downlink permission has been cancelled in line with a information ministry’s decision,” Bangladesh Telecommunication Commission spokesman said. Reports from Bangladesh said that cable operators have begun stopping broadcast of the channel throughout the country after the government order.
