During these disasters, when many people lose power, Radio Meghna can deliver crucial news and information to them. Radio Meghna is often the first source of information that the people of Charfassion Upazila need.

Moreover, the role played by Radio Meghna in education, health, supporting fishermen and farmers, addressing issues like teenage pregnancy and child marriage, and particularly during disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic, is truly commendable and highly appreciated by the people of Charfassion, a sub-tropical region.

Charfassion wished Radio Meghna further success on behalf of the upazila administration and congratulated all of Radio Meghna on this journey of success.

It should be noted that Charfassion coastal Community Radio Meghna began its journey on February 18, 2015. Today, February 18, 2025, marks the completion of its 10th year of operation.
