NEW DELHI : Residents of border states lacking mobile and data connectivity can breathe a sigh of relief, with state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) beginning work on installing 20,000 4G towers.
The telecom operator has been assigned the work of ensuring connectivity at all far-flung areas under the government’s 4G saturation plan, an official aware of the plans said.
“BSNL has started the work already. About 25,000 villages will be covered by 4G, most of which do not have any connectivity, which is why it is important to bring connectivity to these areas," the official said, requesting anonymity.
