=> RAWALPINDI: Expressing their happiness over restor
RAWALPINDI: Expressing their happiness over restoration of transmission of Geo television networks, public circles on Friday said that telecasts of the popular channel by cable operators should also be restored so that they could view the same.
The news about restoration of Geo TV’s transmission on satellite spread in the country like jungle fire from Karachi to Khyber as people informed each other on telephone about the same.
People also thanked President of the United Arab Emirates Khalifa bin Zayd Al-Nahyan and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoom and lauded their decision of restoring the transmission of Geo TV.
Through phone calls and short messages to the Geo offices in all major cities and towns of the country, people expressed the hope that Pakistan Government would also take suitable measures to facilitate viewing of the channel at the earliest. They said that they were praying for restoration of the popular channel’s transmission.
According to Azim M Mian from New York, Pakistani expatriates in the United States and Canada also expressed their jubilation over resumption of Geo services and informed each other about restoration of its transmission.
They were of the view that Geo TV had become a part of their lives but after closure of its transmission they were compelled to depend on the US media and Internet editions of Pakistani newspapers to keep themselves abreast of the situation in their homeland.
A sense of deprivation among those people who do not have dish antennas, however, prevails despite the restoration of Geo TV broadcasts. They were of the view that transmission of Geo TV should be restored on cable network forthwith so that they could get information about the latest situation in the country and world.
