Indian news channels
off the air

The cable operators in Nepal had stopped transmission of Indian news channels since Monday afternoon, informed sources said in New Delhi.

Quoting reports from Kathmandu, the sources said the cable operators had stopped telecast of 'Star News' and 'Zee News' from 1630 hours on Monday afternoon.

The move follows a sudden unrest in the country following a statement by the state council that King Birendra and other members of the royal family were killed in 'an accidental firing'.

However, it was not immediately clear whether the cable operators had taken the decision following instructions from the Nepalese government.
