Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal Sunday launched an FM radio station - Meow 104.8 FM - here.

This was the second FM radio station launched by a private company in the town.

Dhumal said opening of new radio stations and TV channels indicated that electronic media was growing at a faster pace in the country.

'Radio channels are basically committed to educate, inform and entertain the masses, but at the same time listeners and society expect these to maintain a high level of credibility and healthy entertainment,' he said.
