I & B Ministry moves to Madras HC against Arasu Cable

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has approached the Madras High Court against Arasu Cable TV Corporation with an appeal seeking to set aside a stay order issued by a Single Judge restricting the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) from disconnecting the cable TV signals of the Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable TV Corporation Ltd in Chennai metro area as part of stopping transmission of analog cable TV signals in the area. 
Earlier, Justice V Dhanapalan had passed an interim order restricting the Ministry from disconnecting the analogue signal of Arasu Cable. 
The TRAI had stated that digitisation should be immediately implemented in Chennai and as part of it, the analogue signals has to be switched off any time. 
Arasu Cable had applied for Digital Addressable System (DAS) licence. However, the Ministry has yet to grant the licence as it is not in support of state governments to run cable TV operations.
