AIR Leh on 4760kHz:
And during my random aircheck on 1340utc onwards first time from October 10th on 4760kHz I heard AIR Leh transmission with fair to good signal strength.But the audio is slightly rough and difficult to copy sometime.The program is a mix of local language plus relays from AIR Delhi perhaps.

Here is the latest audio recordings of AIR Leh on 4760kHz  on 1343utc On October 13th.(2020):
