The Army has already set up several community radio stations across the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. These include Drass, Karu, Leh and Baramulla in Ladakh and Pir Panjal region in J-K. Managed by local RJs, these stations offer entertainment and regional content based on local interests to the residents.
"In the remotest and coldest region, locals will tune into the community radio station established by the Dhruva Command," an officer said.
Hanle, located at an altitude of 4,300 metres, is home to the Major Atmospheric Cherenkov Experiment (MACE) observatory, the world's highest-imaging Cherenkov telescope.
