INFORMATION BLACK-OUT LOOMS OVER URD
By Musa Barrow
As far as the dissemination of information in Upper River Division is concerned, Radio Basse is indispensable. This is due to the fact that most radio sets in the area cannot receive clear signals from the main Station in Mile 7 from Upper River Division. Therefore tuning to Radio Basse is the only alternative for people to receive clear signals from GRTS Radio.
On the other hand access to Newspaper in most parts of Upper River Division is not just daunting, but the vast majority of people cannot read them because they are unlettered.
However, reliable sources from Upper River Division have indicated that Radio Basse which is the main source of information for the entire Division and parts of Central River Division is currently off the air.
Sources have, however, informed Foroyaa that acute power shortage is to blame for the disruption of Radio Basse's functioning.
