Imphal, November 30 2022:
Upon completion of one year, Manipur Hills Journalists' Union (MHJU) has acknowledged the broadcasting of 'Headlines & Analysis of Newspapers published in Hill Districts' on All India Radio (AIR)-Imphal during the 7:30 am news.
In a release, MHJU appreciated the efforts of AIR to include 'Headlines & Analysis of Hill District Newspapers' during the prime-time news programme.
The inclusion of newspapers published in hill districts in the news programme of AIR has filled certain gaps in reaching out information and news to remote villages in hill districts, where radio is the only means of receiving the news, it added.
MHJU further noted that reach of even local newspapers in hill districts is a challenging task due to distance and poor transportation and connectivity.
However, AIR has narrowed down such difficulties for the benefit of the masses, it emphasised, while also extending appreciation and support to the holistic approach of the AIR towards ensuring news and information reach every corner of the state.
