I contacted ex-official of AIR Leh Aug 07 who was in touch with the
station yesterday:
- Fortunately, no casualties among AIR staff.
- Rain water and mud slushes entered inside the transmitter hall causing
damage.
- There is no power supply in that area.
- Doordarshan is carrying extensive footage of AIR Leh.
- He indicated no damage to the AIR towers however one press report says
Doordarshan tower has been damaged.
Excerpt from todays Hindustan Times, report titled "Leh turns ghost town":
Just few meters ahead of the bus stand is the All India Radio building.
Water has gushed through, sweeping furniture and equipment helter skelter,
and a dish on top the building is contorted beyond recognition - from the
impact of a truck that was swept against it. Full report at:
