Emergency Response: The Covid-19 Campaign

The role of community radio stations during disasters is well documented, be it earthquakes, floods or tsunamis. In 2020, Gurgaon Ki Awaaz has got to test its mettle during the ongoing Covid-19 crisis.

Collaborating closely with the District Administration of Gurugram, through the Civil Defence team working directly under the Deputy Commissioner of Gurugram, Gurgaon Ki Awaaz is broadcasting the latest updates, health advisories and notifications, as well as lists of important helpline numbers every day. Our bi-weekly program Udaan addresses the stresses and anxieties during the prolonged lockdown. It is a live, call-in show and counselors are on air to take listeners’ calls. Every Monday and Thursday from 1 to 2.30 pm.
