NEW DELHI: Mahaveer Digital, a multi-system operator in Odisha, has been sealed by the concerned authorities for telecasting an unauthorised television channel.

Giving this information, an official of the Information and Broadcasting Ministry however declined to give the name of the unauthorised channel or its place of origin.

Earlier, in December last year, the Information and Broadcasting Ministry wrote to the concerned officers in Jaipur district of Odisha to conduct a check on MSOs showing illegal channels in Odisha.

Following this, the Collectorate of Jajpur had sent a letter to all concerned officials on 27 December 2016 to conduct inquiry on a letter received from the Deputy Secretary of the I and B Ministry and submit a report to the Collectorate for suitable action.

The Jajpur-based MSO Mahaveer Digital owned by Jatindra Nath Sahoo had been granted a provisional licence on 17 November last year for operating in the entire state of Odisha.
