SRINAGAR: Akashvani Srinagar on Wednesday inaugurated a state-of-the-art audio studio dedicated to the exclusive broadcast of Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra (SANJY) 2025, aiming to deliver seamless and high-quality content to pilgrims and listeners worldwide.
The newly established facility was formally inaugurated by Gurbinder Singh, Deputy Director General (Engineering) and Head of Office, Akashvani Srinagar. Speaking at the occasion, Shri Singh described the launch as a “technological leap” in pilgrimage broadcasting, highlighting the studio’s advanced audio capabilities designed to provide uninterrupted and accessible transmission throughout the Yatra period.
“This initiative is aimed at ensuring that the spiritual essence and real-time updates of the Yatra are not only available on the ground but also accessible to audiences across the globe,” Singh stated.
According to officials, broadcasts related to SANJY 2025 will be aired across multiple platforms including 103.7 MHz FM, WAVES OTT platform, DTH services, the NewsonAir Android and iOS app, and the Akashvani Aradhana Channel. To further ensure seamless coverage, especially in high-altitude and remote areas, two dedicated transmitters have been installed at Baltal and Pahalgam—the key routes leading to the holy cave.
The special transmission will feature devotional music, daily updates from base camps and trekking routes, interviews, feature stories, and informative capsules tailored for pilgrims and their families.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Pramod Kumar, Deputy Director Engineering; Akhilesh Sharma, Assistant Director Engineering; Ghulam Rasool Akhoon, Head of Programmes; Dr Satish Vimal, Programme Executive and In-charge of Special Transmission SANJY 2025; and Shri Wasim Farooq, Transmission Executive, along with other Akashvani Srinagar staff.
