4 channels go off air in Andhra Pradesh after elections

AMARAVATI (ANDHRA PRADESH): Some news channels have gone off air at several places in Andhra Pradesh following the declaration of the results of the Assembly and Parliamentary elections with an opposition YSRCP Parliamentarian alleging coercion by state govt leading to them being blocked.
Allegations of channels -TV9, NTV, 10TV and Sakshi TV -being blocked have been levelled against NDA govt, comprising TDP, BJP and Janasena.YSRCP RS member S Niranjan Reddy complained to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) over the alleged blocking of these four vernacular news channels by govt.
In a letter to Trai, Reddy claimed Andhra Pradesh Cable TV Operators Association took these four channels off air due to alleged coercion by the TDP-led govt in the state. He alleged TV9, NTV, 10TV and Sakshi TV were blocked 'without any lawful justification or procedural compliance.'
Meanwhile, a local multi-system operator (cable TV service provider) from the Godavari region confirmed these four channels were blocked.
The operator, who services up to 300 households with cable TV connections observed that the blockade began even before N Chandrababu Naidu took oath as the CM.
