Regarding need for establishment of FM Radio Stations in
Latur district, Maharashtra-Laid
DR. SHIVAJI BANDAPPA KALGE (LATUR): I would like to draw
the attention of the Government towards the urgent need to
establish FM radio stations in my Constituency Latur, Maharashtra.
FM is an important source of news and its ability to transcend
borders makes radio a crucial source of information. Latur is a
prominent district in the Marathwada region with a thriving
economy. However, the region lacks access to a FM radio station.
The establishment of an FM radio station in Latur will provide a
reliable platform to ensure the dissemination of crucial Government
schemes and world news. Further, Latur is a drought prone area
hence, FM stations can serve as a vital tool for real-time
communication and disaster management. I urge the Ministry of
Information and Broadcasting to establish FM radio stations in
Latur district to bridge the information gap and cater to the
communication needs of its residents.
