NAYPYIDAW, 07 May 2021 (TON):The Myanmar State Administration Council imposed ban on Satellite-TV to discourage anti-state foreign propaganda, however, internet service remained available without interuption. The announcement said that anyone using satellite dishes to watch television will face up to one year in prison or a fine of 500,000 kyat ($320).

The ban is basically to discourage India state machinery engaged in attempt to bring dangerous civil war in Myanmar. New Delhi has created hundreds of news outlets that led to civil violation and subsequent crackdown on law violators.

The announcement claimed that “illegal organisations and news agencies” were broadcasting programs via satellite that threaten state security.
