PEMRA team raids illegal FM radio station
ISLAMABAD: A Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) enforcement team raided an illegal FM radio station being run by the National Highways Authority (NHA) in violation of PEMRA Laws in Peshawar on Wednesday.
The illegal radio station was operating from the Islamabad — Peshawar Motorway (M-1) by the NHA. The PEMRA enforcement team impounded all the equipment being used by the station.
The NHA was contravening section 19 of the PEMRA Ordinance 2002 (Amendment Act 2007), which substantiates that “no person shall engage in any broadcast media or distribution services except after obtaining a licence issued under the ordinance.”
PEMRA has issued a show cause notice to the management of the NHA to clarify its position immediately, otherwise the authority would be compelled to take legal action against them.
