Chirgaon Tehsil in district Shimla for shifting of TV tower from Chirgaon to Sundralli;
(b) if so, the details thereof; and

THE MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND BROADCASTING AND CULTURE (SHRI S. JAIPAL REDDY)
(a) to (c) : Yes, Sir. Requests from some village Panchayats viz. Todsa, Zangla, Thana &
Sariwasa Panchayats in Chirgaon Tehsil of Shimla district for shifting the VLPT,
Chirgaon from its present site to another location have been received but there is no
proposal to shift VLPT, Chirgaon from its present site as this is likely to result in some
areas losing the TV coverage presently available there.
