LAHORE: The city district government and other regulatory authorities registered cases against four cable operators on Thursday, accusing them of screening obscene films, dramas and dances on cable. The officials of the city district government, police and Pakistan Electronic and Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA), on the direction of District Coordination Officer (DCO) Khalid Sultan, raided several cable operators’ offices and found dozens of obscene CDs, cassettes and other objectionable material including liquor and illegal weapons. Mr Sultan said the operation would continue until the government eradicated obscenity from cable networks. He said those who violate the law would be dealt with harshly. Mr Sultan urged cable operators to destroy all obscene material voluntarily. The cable operators against whom action was taken were World Class, New Star, Al-Saba and Deans cable network.
