MUZAFFARABAD – The local administration of Azad Kashmir has banned four foreign television channels because of being dubbed in Hindi.
Deputy Commissioner Officer Masoodur Rehman Muzaffarabad issued notification to ban National Geographic, Discovery, Pogo and Cartoon Network for three months.
While talking to the media DC Muzaffarabad told that the ban on these specific foreign channels was demanded by the people of Muzaffarabad.
