ISLAMABAD, May 5: BBC Urdu is re-launching its live five-minute news bulletins on local Pakistan FM partner stations Mast FM and Radio Awaz FM on Tuesday. The bulletin was stopped by regulators following the imposition of emergency rule on November 3 last year.

Information Minister Sherry Rehman told the BBC that in keeping with the new government’s media policy there were now no restrictions on BBC bulletins being broadcast on local channels in Pakistan.
