TURA, Jan 22: The much-needed fixed audio system (FAS) for Tura urban area was inaugurated as part of Meghalaya Day celebrations by the Information and Public Relations (I&PR) Minister, James PK Sangma, at the Office of the Assistant Director of Information and Public Relations (ADIPR) at Dakopgre on Friday.
Accompanying the minister for the inauguration was West Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner, Ram Singh, and the director of Information and Public Relations, BS Sohliya.
The fixed audio system has been conceptualised by the I&PR department to exclusively tackle the need for an efficient and effective information dissemination system.
Melamiaki Infracon has been entrusted to undertake the project and install internet protocol (IP)-powered speakers at 27 strategic locations around Tura.
The FAS will facilitate the flow of information from the central control centre at the office of the ADIPR to the citizens of Tura and its suburbs.
The main features of the FAS are announcement and tones.
Live announcements can be made across the system from the PA Console or PC Master Station while scheduled announcements, tones and bells can be created, organised and scheduled across days, weeks and months quickly and easily.
