UDHAMPUR, Jan 4: Udhampur Development Council (UDC), a social organization, has demanded setting up a Press Club, Radio Station and Cultural Academy in Udhampur to promote the culture, languages and literary activities in the district.
Talking to media persons, here today, UDC president Anil Paba lamented that there was no recognized place for holding discussion on the current social issues and media interactions. “Setting up of a Press Club would encourage the intellectual activities at local level and also spread awareness among the masses besides facilitating media persons for interaction with VIPs on different issues,” he said
Parvesh Parihar general secretary UDC demanded a local radio Station in Udhampur.
“Udhampur is the only district which has been ignored in this respect notwithstanding abundance of artistic talent here,” he added. No doubt the district has produced artists, singer and actors at national level but still there is a lot of talent that needs support at local level and a Radio station will be a boon for exposure to the hidden talent and an instrument of awareness among masses, he explained.
Rakesh Padha of UDC appealed the District administration to identify the State land for construction of Cultural Academy which has already been sanctioned for Udhampur.
Rajesh Sharma of UDC was also present in the press briefing.
