Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority chairman Saleem Baig has warned all TV cable operators of Lahore region of strict action if Indian channels and Indian content are aired.

He said the authority will file an FIR against operators found violating the order.

During the meeting, the cable operators assured Baig of full support and solidarity with the government.

They said that no support will be extended to any cable operator who is found relaying Indian content and channels.
