The duration of Ladakhi telecast on DD Kashir has been increased from thirty minutes to one hour per day with effect from 1st October 2021. The additional telecast includes a news bulletin and programmes in Ladakhi language. This has been done to provide a larger showcase window to programmes on local culture, developmental activities and to give broader coverage to the news from the Union Territory of Ladakh.
