 Updated at 1150 hrs: Cable operators in Mumbai continued blocking all television channels, except Doordarshan, for the second day on Tuesday in protest against police 'raids' against major movie channels allegedly showing adult movies in contravention of a Bombay High Court order.

"We have blocked all channels except Doordarshan to protest against the police action," Ganesh Naidu, President of the All Mumbai Cable Operators Association, said.

Naidu said cable operators were protesting the police action, saying they were merely service providers and not broadcasters. Hence, they had no control on transmission of adult content.

It is for the police to take action against broadcasters and not cable operators, he said. "We welcome the high court decision and we are also in favour of it, but it is for broadcasters to act upon and not the cable operators."
