The ministry of information and broadcasting on Thursday set up a toll-free number to answer queries of stakeholders, including consumers, for seamless transition to digitisation of the cable television in the country.

The toll-free number 1-800-180-4343 would help secure answers to queries in eight languages -- Hindi, English, Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada.

"After the completion of first two phases of cable TV digitisation, which covered four metros (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai) and 38 cities with population of more than 10 lakh each, phase III of digitisation is underway. It would cover all the remaining urban areas in the country and is set to be completed by December 31," read an official statement.
