Nuh (
Haryana): When Sohrab Khan leans into his mike and says âgood morningâ at 9 am, lakhs of people hear a loud crack before his voice booms through their radios.
Khan is the manager and one of the eight reporters and presenters at Radio Mewat, a community radio station in Nuh, Haryana, considered the countryâs most backward district. Known as Mewat until 2016, Nuh lies to the south of Haryana, jutting into Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
