THE MINISTER OF STATE OF THE MINISTRY OF INFORMATION
AND BROADCASTING AND MINISTER OF STATE OF THE
MINISTRY OF LAW, JUSTICE AND COMPANY AFFAIRS (SHRI
ARUN JAITLEY)
(a): At present, DD-2 services are available in Orissa from Doordarshan
transmission centres at Cuttack, Bhubaneswar, Dudarkot, Dhenkanal,
Sambalpur, Baliapal, Kendrapara, Tirtol, Lalitgiri & Rourkela.
(b & c): There is no proposal to provide DD2 services to each DD Kendra in
the State. However, for further expansion of DD2 coverage in Orissa, a high
power transmitter at Sambalpur, and a low power transmitter at Baleshwar are
under implementation, and these are expected to be commissioned during 2000-
2001. Further expansion of DD2 coverage in Orissa would depend on future
availability of resources.
