Radio Sagarmatha
The Nepal Forum of Environmental Journalists has formed a board to run Radio Sagarmatha. The station manager is the executive chief of the station. Radio Sagarmatha has always been in front line of the struggle for the press freedom in Nepal. It has played a vital role in conducting the Save Independent Radio Movement in cooperation with other likeminded institutions, while the government put a ban on current affairs during the direct rule of King Gyanendra after February 1, 2005. Five radio journalists were arrested and the station was shut down for 43 hours and 47 minutes by the Royal government in 2006 accusing of broadcasting the interview of Prachanda, the Maoist Chair Person, one of the top underground leader of rebellion. Radio Sagarmatha resumed its on air immediately after getting verdict by the Supreme Court in favor of it.
