Yogi intervenes to resume services of Gkp Akashwani

Lucknow: The services of Gorakhpur Akashwani, which remained disrupted for three days from November 21 due to a technical glitch, were resumed on Tuesday after chief minister Yogi Adityanath intervened.
The CM said that under no circumstances would the services of Gorakhpur Akashwani be allowed to be disrupted and that very soon a permanent transmitter of adequate capacity would be installed there.
On November 21, the medium wave mobile transmitter of Gorakhpur Akashwani had shut down, disrupting transmission. The CM directed officials of Prasar Bharti to take immediate action to restore the transmission.
Thereafter, Prasar Bharati headquarters issued guidelines to Gorakhpur Akashwani’s head and programme head on Monday night. The head of AIR Gorakhpur, Rahul Singh said that the mobile transmitter was restarted a little after 5 am on Tuesday.
The CM also announced that the interests of employees and artists will be protected at all costs. He added that the range of the radio from Gorakhpur, established in 1972, extended till Nepal and it helped in “keeping India’s point of view before the neighbouring country and forewarn them against nefarious designs of China”. He added: “The services will be further improved and given more teeth through the better frequency transmitter soon.”
Attacking Opposition parties for doing politics on this issue, the CM said that these parties have become frustrated by the development programmes being pushed by the government and are making a desperate attempt to mislead people. He also thanked the local BJP representatives for taking up the matter of the Akashwani glitch because of which it could be resolved on time.
