Kalurghat Betar resumes operation

The Kalurghat radio station of Bangladesh Betar in Chittagong, which was
affected by excessive rainfall, resumed its operation at 12 noon yesterday
after remaining closed for one week.
Transmission of the 100-kilowatt medium wave transmitter had stopped as
water stood in the station compound after the heavy downpour of June 11,
said a press release of Bangladesh Betar.
However, in the last one week, programmes of the FM band continued to be
aired from Agrabad Bhaban that could be listened to only by the audience in
Chittagong city and adjoining areas.
During the week, Cox's Bazar and Barisal stations of Bangladesh Betar
expanded their sessions from 6am to 10am and 6.50pm to 11.10 pm everyday and
broadcast the Dhaka station's programme for the audiences of greater
Chittagong, especially for those who live at costal region and deep sea
area.
A three-member experts' team of Bangladesh Betar, led by additional chief
engineer of Dhaka station, reached Kalurghat radio station from the capital
soon after the incident on June 11 to assist the concerned engineers in
resuming the operation of the transmitter. The team was able to make the
transmitter fully operational this noon after working round the clock for
the last one week.
The Bangladesh Betar authorities have expressed regret to their audience in
greater Chittagong, particularly those in the coastal areas, for the
inconvenience caused to them during the last seven days, said the press
release.
