Tributes were paid to the founders/legends who contributed to the glory of Radio .
"Though modern day technology and devices have surpassed radios', the role of radios has been monumental in connecting the masses. Radio is a powerful communication tool and a low cost medium. Not to forget, radios were predominantly used during the second world war to communicate. These days, youngsters cannot connect much with a radio but people of the yester era cannot deny it's purposefulness and the day-long entertainment", opined Abudhahir.
The public were enthralled to see the different types of radios and elders shared nostalgic memories at the expo
