Rajouri, February 13
The government has decided to install nine towers in twin border townships of Rajouri and Poonch for jamming the radio signals from Pakistan at various forward locations, including Peer Badeswar, Bhimber Gali and Krishna Ghati. These jammers would block the radio signals of various radio stations spreading anti-India propaganda from the neighbouring country, a highly placed intelligence source said.

Villagers near border as well as residents of twin border districts said: “The Pakistani government may have come under lot of pressure from the international community after the Mumbai terror attacks, its radio channels, especially those operating from the PoK, continue to spew venom against India.”

Local intelligence and police sources confirmed that the Pakistan media especially radio stations continue to air anti-India programmes.

According to them, a team had visited these twin border districts to find out measures to stop such propaganda as also to examine ways to strengthen the network of All-India Radio.

Radio channels like Pakistan Radio, Mirpur FM Station, Muzzafarabad FM Station, Kral Khal FM and Sada-e-Hurriyat Kashmir have been accused indulging in spreading anti-India propaganda.
