Srinagar: Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Dr. L. Murugan on Monday praised state-run All India Radio and Doordarshan Kashmir for playing a vital role in countering the “propaganda and obnoxious narrative” unleashed by the adverse neighbouring countries.

“Dr. Murugan said that being stationed in a border area, All India Radio and DDK Srinagar are playing a vital role in countering the propaganda and obnoxious narrative unleashed by the adverse neighbouring countries,” he said.
