Rathore inaugurates construction work of AIR station

Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore today inaugurated the construction work of the All India Radio (AIR) station at Abdullahpur here and said that it would be built in around two years.
Construction of the radio station on the 6,180 sq mt land is expected to be over in around two years, the Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting said.
As of now it would be an FM radio station only but the Centre is mulling to later start a Doordarshan Kendra here too, Rathore said.
The people of Meerut have been demanding an AIR station and Doordarshan Kendra for the last three years and the local MP Rajendra Aggarwal had placed this demand in the Lok Sabha too, he said.

Speaking to mediapersons, Rathore said, "The country faces threat not from external but internal elements and the opposition are creating an atmosphere of fear which is harming the society."
The Union minister said that the local traders spoke to him about issues regarding labour laws, trouble in securing bank loans, land acquisition, airports etc and he would try his best to resolve those.
