Need To Upgrade Low Power T.V. Transmitters At Jhalda, Bagmundi And … on 2 May, 2000

Title: Need to upgrade Low Power T.V. Transmitters at Jhalda, Bagmundi and Balarampur in Purulia district of West Bengal.

SHRI BIR SINGH MAHATO (PURULIA): Sir, a large number of Bengali speaking people are not able to watch Bengali programmes from DD-7 in the Western part of Purulia district in West Bengal. Three Low Power Transmitters at Jhalda, Bagmundi and Balarampur in Purulia district have been set up to cater to this area. Still people do not have the opportunity to watch Bengali programmes.

Therefore, I urge upon the Government to upgrade the very Low Power Transmitter Centres of Jhalda, Bagmundi and Balarampur to Low Power Transmitters so that people will be able to watch Bengali programmes.
