Trai — fraudulent act of forcing people to pay inflated prices for dth renewal

Address:Indore, Madhya Pradesh, 452001

Recently (Feb 1) trai has enforced new dth rules to benefit consumers, and introduced la carte system. The sole intention was to bring down costs for the subscribers by a considerable margin and offer a more efficient way of choosing channels.
However this never happened, infact people are being looted while misquoting the regulation enforcement from trai.
To put things into perspective let me share my experience, i have been using airtel dth (Hd) connection for past 5 years.

- annual subscription for "mega hd dth" connection costed me approx inr 5300/- (Offered about ~450 channels including +50 hd). Subscribed between 2014 to 2018
- annual subscription for "infinity" (With offered over 550 channels, including 60 hd) costed ~5600/-. Subscribed until 2019

So far things worked out well, until day before yesterday when my subscription expired and i sat down to re-new the plan, the fraudulent company bharti airtel asked me to
Pay inr 8400/- for the infinity plan (Which is officially discontinued, however i can choose to continue if i can pay the said amount)
Or else pay inr ~7600 "mega hd" (Which offers 150 channels).

Is this some kind of joke. All the plans now have increased prices, though the whole intent was to bring down the cost.

I want strict action to be taken against bharti airtel and trai who are fooling people under the covers
This whole amendment in dth broadcasting procedure was a scam to fool people, with only intent was to benefiting airtel and other players
