On June 01, Radio Pakistan Sargodha commemorated its anniversary with a special broadcast titled “Eid Milan Nasal-e-Nau Mushaira,” aimed at fostering literary activities among the youth.
Hosted by Munazza Anwar Guwindi and produced by Fareeha Kanwal, the programme featured a mix of well-known literary figures and emerging poets from the Sargodha region. Renowned poet Mumtaz Arif, praised the station’s literary programme “Adab Nama.” Arif commended the initiative for creating a distinguished place in the history of radio broadcasts by introducing the concept of “Tarahi Mushaira,” a creative poetic gathering.
Mumtaz Arif also noted that “Adab Nama” played a crucial role in both promoting new literary talents and honouring established literary icons from Sargodha through the “Yad-e-Raftgan” series, which pays homage to past poets and writers.
The event saw young poets such as Anees-ur-Rehman, Abdullah Hashmi, Kashif Ali, and Khalid Chishti recite their ghazals and poems, which the audience received well. These sessions provided a platform for these emerging poets to showcase their work and gain recognition in the literary community.
The event concluded with a reaffirmation of the commitment to continue promoting the cultural and social heritage of the Sargodha region through future broadcasts, ensuring ongoing support for local artists and the literary community.
