Thanks for posting this news. This makes a complete mockery of Community Radio. Everyone from the screening panel, to WPC to Min of I&B should be held responsible for this travesty. Just the location of the transmitter should have disqualified this station - inside the BSF headquarters!

I would strongly urge our CRF to come out with a protest letter against such permissions and licenses being given, in clear violation of the policy (in spirit, and I certainly hope, in letter) At this rate, all available frequencies will be eaten up, and at the same time, the entire purpose of freeing the airwaves will be completely defeated. best Ram maraa.in YOU CAN SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY RADIO FORUM (India) BY JOINING AND TAKING AN ACTIVE PART IN ONE OF THESE NETWORKS http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crforum-awareness (Awareness building) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crforum-helpdesk (Offering help) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crforum-policy-advocacy (Policy advocacy) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crforum-techoptions (Technical options) _______________________________________________ cr-india mailing list [email protected] https://mail.sarai.net/mailman/listinfo/cr-india Arti Jaiman Project Manager: TRF Radio +91 9811126336 www.trfindia.org www.jaiman.org www.pitara.com
