It took some time to resolve this issue. In June this year, we completed work on expanding the broadcast range of Shalqar Radio Station in 72 settlements of Tyulkubas and Sairam districts of Turkestan region, as well as in the town of Arys. This is just one of the first steps. In the future, we will continue working on the broadcasting of domestic radio programs in the border districts," Dauren Abayev wrote.
