Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Ravi Shanker Prasad also decided to set up a dedicated consumer court to settle cable-related disputes and appoint sub-divisional magistrates as nodal regulators for CAS implementation.

"Yes, some implementation hiccups have occurred (on CAS in South Delhi) but we want the system to be consumer-friendly," Prasad told reporters.

Asked if the government was considering CAS rollback, both Prasad and Dikshit replied in the negative.
