“The Central Government is providing facilities and cooperation to support the development of the rapidly growing country and is moving forward by facing all kinds of problems and challenges,” said MP BY Raghavendra.

He was speaking on Tuesday at BSNL Bhavan while chairing the Telecommunication Advisory Committee organised on the achievements made in the field of telecommunications. From Swachh Bharat to today’s digital era, the work of digitization is in full swing in all sectors. He said that it has a big responsibility to provide necessary facilities to a nation with a large population.

The Central Government has provided the necessary financial assistance to lead the Telecom Corporation, which was once running in losses, towards the path of development. Despite fierce competition from the private sector, the Corporation is moving forward by investing more capital. He said that there are challenges as well as goals to be achieved.

Out of the 287 towers under the 4 tiers, the list of construction work for 136 towers has been finalized and by the next meeting, the concerned authorities should take action to make alternative arrangements for the construction of the pending towers, which are necessary for the construction of towers and are difficult to implement due to various reasons, complete the land acquisition and make them available for public service.

“Towers should be provided on priority to places with high population, especially in hilly areas of the Malnad,” he added. He directed the subordinate officers of the corporation to inform the superiors in a timely manner to resolve technical problems, power problems and other problems and to work hard to implement and start the operation of the towers as per the rules.
