Ø After over a decade of efforts, a community
radio focussed on disaster management was launched in the Mandakini Valley,
which was ravaged by the floods in Uttarakhand in 2013. Listeners can tune into Mandakini ki Awaz from 200 villages in the district and
remote areas of the Chamoli and Pauri districts. The studio of the first
community radio service in Rudraprayag district will be based at Sena Gadsari.

Ø Former Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani was declared Afghanistan’s
next President on Sunday, hours
after signing a power-sharing deal with his rival Abdullah Abdullah that ended
a prolonged standoff over the disputed result. Allegations of massive fraud in
the June 14 vote sparked political crisis as both candidates claimed victory,
paralysing the country at a key moment with U.S.-led troops winding down their
13-year war against the Taliban. When the long-awaited “unity government” deal
was finally signed, Mr. Ghani embraced Mr. Abdullah briefly at a low-key
ceremony in the presidential palace that lasted less than 10 minutes.
