Uri : In the breathtaking yet challenging terrain of Uri, a town nestled near the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, Radio Uri 90 FM stands as a shining example of how communication can heal, connect, and empower. Supported by the Indian Army, the station has transformed into the heartbeat of the border community, a space where information, culture, and emotion meet.
Every day, Radio Uri 90 FM broadcasts a blend of news, cultural programs, awareness campaigns, and entertainment shows, reaching even the remotest villages where internet or television signals often fail. From updates on local development works and weather forecasts to discussions on education, women empowerment, and health awareness, the radio has become an essential part of daily life in Uri.
The station’s vibrant team — RJ Majid, RJ Afshan, RJ Sanjeel, RJ Danish, and RJ Mehak bring the airwaves alive with their energy and dedication. Their local connect, warmth, and commitment to community upliftment have made them household names. Whether it’s a cheerful morning show, an inspiring talk with local achievers, or an emergency alert, these RJs ensure that their listeners are informed, inspired, and entertained.
For 2 years, Radio Uri 90 FM has also played a significant role in promoting local talent. It gives a platform to local singers, poets, and storytellers to showcase their creativity. Traditional Kashmiri and Pahari music, folk tales, and local art regularly feature on-air, preserving the region’s rich cultural heritage for younger generations.
Beyond entertainment, the station works closely with local authorities and social organizations to spread awareness on social issues such as education for girls, environmental conservation, mental health, drug abuse prevention, and hygiene.
