Visa Restrictions Impact Bangladesh Exhibitors at Kolkata Cable TV Event

Visa Restrictions Impact Bangladesh Exhibitors at Kolkata Cable TV Event

The 26th Cable TV Show 2025 is happening in Kolkata, India.

It's a big event where companies show new TV and internet technology.

Usually, many people from Bangladesh come, but this year only a few got visas because of political issues.

The organizers had to ask the Indian government to help.

The event is important for businesses that sell TV and internet equipment.

It's one of the biggest shows in the region.

Over 10,000 people are expected to attend.

The show is organized by a group called CTMA, which has been around for 30 years.

They say the event has grown a lot over time.

Some companies from China used to come, but they stopped a few years ago because of other political issues.
