Tata Sky is not good for Gujarat and Gujarati viewers

Direct to Home TV service Tata Sky has stopped showing DD-11, Girnar service for last one week to viewers. Tata Sky is proving itself an unfriendly service for Gujarat and Gujarati people because it shows only one Gujarati TV channel now. Earlier when Zee TV Gujarati went off-air, Tata Sky canceled that channel but did not care to replace it with another suitable Gujarati satellite channel, say TV9 Gujarati or Bizz TV. Such attitude is not only unfriendly to customers but also injustice to Gujarat and Gujarati people who would definitely opt for other options that are available in the market.
Other DTH services such as Big TV, AirTel, Dish TV etc. show three Gujarati satellite channels – Etv Gujarati, TV9 Gujarati and DD-11-Girnar. This is three times more than Tata Sky. However none of the Direct to Home service telecasts Bizz TV which is relatively small 24-hour Gujarati news channel that mostly plays recorded news.
Tata Sky telecasts almost all available channels when it comes to other languages. Tata Sky shows three channels of Oriya language, four of Punjabi language and more than five channels of each of the southern language, but when it comes to Gujarat, this DTH service behaves in unprofessional manner and decreases the number of channels instead of offering more.
