Mr Alam told the Punjab Chief Minister that the crackdown was actually against illegal Indian Direct-To-Home (DTH), dishes and content existing in the black market of several Pakistani cities.

Pemra officials said that the body’s chairman has also sought assistance from the centre and other provincial governments including the Balochistan government in a bid to make the planned crackdown against illegal Indian DTH, dishes and content a major triumph.
