Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday lauded the “stupendous” work of the Srinagar stations of All India Radio and Doordarshan in restoring normalcy and peace in the state.
“The way the two stations withstand difficulties to run their programmes and keep people
abreast with the facts during the militancy is laudable,” Omar said.
He was speaking at the launch of 10 MW FM channel-2 of the local station of AIR popularly known as “Radio Kashmir” here. Giving full credit to Radio Kashmir and Srinagar station of Doordarshan for braving challenging circumstances and keeping the broadcasting and telecasting stations functional during “bad times”, the chief minister said the staff and officers had to pay heavy price for it.
