AIR braves floodwaters in J&K

MUMBAI: Though a major chunk of metro listeners have shunned All India Radio for private FM, the public radio broadcaster has proved its mettle by braving the raging floodwaters in Jammu & Kashmir for the past few weeks.

September 2014 was when the picturesque J&K region was hit by torrential rainfall which led to the worst floods in 60 years in the region. The rising waters slowly broke down the mediums of communication which also included Radio Kashmir that never went silent in the last six decades.

Even when the flood hit the state, AIR was constantly providing updated information to aid in the rescue of people. However, it too was not spared the flood's rage and the entire AIR building was submerged in water.
