MUMBAI: Cable operators in Kerala went on a '6 am to 6 pm'
strike demanding rollback of the five per cent luxury tax
proposed in the state budget for 2006-07.
"The strike paralysed the television viewing in Kerala
during the day time. This was a token strike, and it is learnt
that the Cable Operators' Association is planning to meet the
minister before planning its next move," an executive of
a leading Malayalam channel told indiantelevision.com.
News agency PTI reports that cable operators in all towns joined
the strike, making it a dull and dreary day for television viewers.
A spokesman of the Cable Operators' Association has been quoted
as saying that, the strike was a major success as big and small
service providers joined in the protest. |
