New Delhi, Mar 31 (UNI) More than 500 employees of the All India Radio today held a 'gate meeting' at Akashwani Bhawan in New Delhi area to protest against their demands not being met despite their meeting with Joint Secretary (Broadcasting) recently.

The employees of the Technical and Engineering department besides holding the 'gate meeting' also wore 'black badges' as a mark of protest.
