The Central Government is working on a plan to install 400 new BSNL towers in the Naxal-affected and remote areas of Chhattisgarh to strengthen digital communication. While talking to media persons in Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh, Union Minister of State for Rural Development and Telecommunications Dr. Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar said that the installation of these towers will be carried out in phases after obtaining the necessary approvals from security forces and the forest department. He stated that BSNL is currently providing high-quality 4G services across the country, and with this expansion, we are realizing the mission of delivering digital connectivity to the last village in the country.

Earlier, Dr. Sekhar chaired a high-level review meeting held in Raipur, in which senior officials from the Department of Rural Development, Department of Posts, Department of Telecommunications, and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) participated.

Dr. Chandrasekhar said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Central Government’s welfare schemes are now reaching the last citizen in the line. Rapid development and transformation are now being seen in deprived, tribal, and remote areas as well.

He also stated that the government’s objective is to strengthen digital, physical, and social infrastructure in an integrated manner to bring the vision of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ to the ground level.
