Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi inaugurated Ibex Tarana 88.4 FM, a community radio station, in Jyotirmath, Uttarakhand, during his visit to assess troop readiness in the Garhwal region. This initiative, the first Army-backed community radio in a border area, aims to strengthen civil-military ties, promote local culture, and provide educational, employment, and disaster-preparedness programs. The launch underscores the Indian Army’s role in community empowerment alongside national security, particularly in strategic frontier regions like Uttarakhand.
