It is indeed very gratifying to hear that Heval Vaani is finally on air, after a long and patient wait. My sincere congratulations to Rajender and his team, and to Ideosync and Nomad for their roles. A case study of all their travails would be very educative for everyone aspiring to start a CR station. Would love to visit and experience the Garhwali sounds! All the very best,
