As a first step in this regard, on October 5th, this signboard was installed there.

This was hailed as a happy occasion for the future of Radio Pakistan. This will be a welcome service for the large number of locals who have long been hoping for a modern digital transmitter in this area that will allow them to listen to good audio quality programmes sand local artists in their mother tongues.

Once a budget has been allocated to the project, a tender will be put out publicly in order to acquire the transmitter.
