PTV fee
As per news reports, the government has increased PTV fee from Rs35 to Rs100. Resultantly, the revenue of PTV will be increased from Rs7.5 billion to Rs21 billion. The fee is collected through electricity bills from consumers, irrespective of the fact that they watch PTV or not. What a travesty of justice. Infact, it is an infringement of the basic rights of all Pakistanis, as those who do not have a television will also have to pay the fee.
Honestly speaking, the content shown on our national television network does not deserve any fee to be paid for. The enhancement of PTV fee needs to be reviewed and be brought back to Rs35. If PTV needs financial assistance, it must not resuscitate on the blood of the poor common man.
