hijack a radio station to voice their opinion about the c

do they announce themselves as the murderers of the
defense minister and more clearly as students and not

generally see at work in a war) rush to the station and
shoot our friends at sight

globe.
7. During situations like the 2004 tsunami, and the 2013 Uttarakhand floods, radio played a stellar ro
le in conveying information on relief work, aid and recovery efforts when other mediums became i
naccessible.
