Imphal, June 08 2026: Breaking away from conventional broadcasting, Radio Highway Pallel - the vibrant community radio station set up at the Pallel Garrison of Assam Rifles - is transforming the airwaves into a catalyst for regional change by bringing the extraordinary journeys of Manipur's distinguished icons directly to local listeners.

As per a release issued by HQ IGAR(South), the station's overarching initiative seeks to cultivate constructive dialogue on peace, prosperity, development, and progress while inspiring the youth of the region.

It does so by showcasing stellar achievements of homegrown personalities from Manipur who have excelled on national and international platforms.

Following its recent successful broadcast featuring renowned astrophysicist Dr Ronaldo Laishram, who proved that small-town dreams can reach the stars, the station has recorded a new episode with Mixed Martial Arts sensation Chungreng Koren.

Affectionately known as "The Indian Rhino", Koren has represented India on multiple national and international stages and brought immense pride to the North East through his recent advancement in the prestigious Road to UFC tournament.

Scheduled for a special launch on June 11, 2026, the podcast captures Koren detailing his professional MMA journey.

He underscores the importance of discipline, perseverance, determination, and hard work while candidly sharing the challenges of a sports career and the core values that helped him emerge as one of India's most promising athletes.

By weaving together stories like the cosmic achievements of an astrophysicist and the grit of a global fighter, Radio Highway Pallel establishes a common thread: dedication and resilience can turn local talent into global legends.

The station urges the younger generation to strive for excellence in all fields of endeavour.

Currently available only on its mobile app and awaiting approvals to go live on air, the Assam Rifles-supported community radio station has steadily established itself as a voice to be heard, enjoyed, and one that inspires communities across Manipur.
