Srinagar: In a significant initiative to amplify local voices and foster community engagement, the Dagger Division has established Community Radio Stations in Baramulla and Uri.
The stations, inaugurated by GOC Chinar Corps in a ceremony held at Baramulla today, aim to serve as vibrant platforms for the local communities.
Operating under the taglines ‘Radio Baramulla 89.6 FM – Alfaaz Hamare Ehsas Aapke’ and ‘Radio Uri 90.0 FM – Pahadon ki Dhun’, these stations are set to provide a diverse array of content. They will feature local achievers, government schemes, news, culture, and entertainment, giving residents a new channel to share their stories and aspirations.
