Nepalese cable TV operators on Saturday blocked all Indian channels “indefinitely” in protest against an unofficial “blockade of goods” into the country. Since last few days an agitation is carried out by Joint Madhesi Front in the Himalayan nation due tyo which scores of goods laden trucks are stranded on the India-Nepal border.
