A copy of the order has been forwarded to the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC).
The channel's broadcasting was initially halted in 2013 by the Awami League government, citing allegations of spreading hatred, rumours, and irresponsible reporting during the Hefazat mayhem on 5 May of that year.
