generators of one megawatt each to augment power and ensure interruption
free transmission. He said the pair of generators was the biggest for any
radio station in the country.
Lalli, on the occasion, said that apart from starting local news bulletin
from AIR Kargil, Doordarshsn would shortly display temperature of this
arid dessert region in national news bulletins.
The Kargil station, along with other radio stations in J&K, have played a
vital and significant role in promoting the art and culture of the area
besides countering the enemy propaganda from across the border. During the
wars and conflicts of 1947, 1962, 1965, 1971 and Kargil intrusion of 1999
and even during peace times and natural calamities, the radio stations in
J&K have efficiently shouldered the responsibility in fighting the war of
words.
The first radio station in Jammu and Kashmir was set-up on December 1,
1947 at Jammu in the backdrop of the partition and tribal raid, when
rumour mongers were calling shots and disturbing communal harmony in this
sensitive border state. In the same year, the state had acceded to India
on October 26, 1947 after the signing of the Instrument of Accession with
the Union of India. Radio Kashmir, Srinagar, started operating from July
1, 1948.
