IN A bid to improve connectivity along
the borders areas with Bangladesh, Bhutan and Myanmar, the BSNL would
set up mobile phone towers along the frontiers, said medi areports.
"We have initiated the process to
install BTS (Base Tower Stations) along the borders with Bangladesh,
Bhutan and Myanmar to improve mobile phone connectivities in the
bordering areas," an official of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited
(BSNL) was quoted as saying.
The home ministry has recently lifted
the earlier restriction to install BTS within 10 km radius of
international border, apprehending misuse of...
the mobile signal by the
inimical elements.
The official said the BTS would come up
along the border outposts (BOP) of the Border Security Force (BSF) or
security forces of other border guards.
"The BSNL has planned to install
around 450 BTS along the borders. Mobile phone connectivity along the
border areas would witness enormous change once this initiative is
complete," the official added.
Another PSU unit Power Grid Corporation
of India Ltd. (PGCIL) is likely to provide technical support to the
BSNL to make the connectivity along the border successful.
The PGCIL has extensive underground
cable network in northeast India and BSNL will use this network to
link the state capitals and other important towns of the mountainous
region.
