Tashi Delek 90.4 FM, the fist Tibetan community radio station in India, is no more broadcasting, due to financial difficulties. The station which was started way back in 2010 with much fanfare and hopes for the Tibetan exile community in Dharamshala, according to Phuntsoko, the station in-charge, has stopped broadcasting for the last one year due to absence of funds to meet the operating expenditure.
Talking to Delayer, Mr. Phuntsoko, told that the major issue is finding day-to-day expenses for the smooth functioning of the station. "Due to fund shortage, we were finding it difficult to engage full-time staff to manage the station and to keep it running on a daily basis, which made us to take the painful decision to stop broadcasting in 2014 itself", said he.
