Choudhary Qamar Hussain, newly elected MLA graced the occasion and appreciated the efforts of Radio Kashmir Jammu in arranging such an event at the door steps of its audience at Rajouri. The station Director Radio Kashmir Jammu greeted the august audience and the poets.
Gojri folk artists enthralled the jam packed hall in the second half of the day. The melodious notes of seasoned music artists filled the arena with a mesmerising aura as every head swayed to the songs and music presented by the niche artists.
