Akhmeta Cable TV-Company has not been broadcasting programs of the TV Company “Maestro” in Kakheti for a month already. Members of the local organizations of opposition parties state that the administration of the cable TV Company ceased broadcasting of Maestro programs according to the orders of Davit Lortkipanidze, head of Kakheti Division of Constitution Security Department.
