150 mobile towers to be set up in Jammu and Kashmir
One hundred and fifty
new mobile phone towers would soon be set up in Jammu and Kashmir to strengthen
the state's communication network, a Central minister said today. "As many
as 150 mobile towers would be installed to strengthen (JK's) mobile
network," Union Minister of State for Communication and Information
Technology, Kruparani Killi told reporters.
She was responding to
a demand raised by a Congress MP at the inauguration of the office of the chief
postmaster general (CPMG) at Railhead complex here. "I will talk to BSNL
(Officials in the state) and discuss which uncovered areas are to be taken up
under this plan," she added. The Union minister said that her department
would spend Rs. 3,000 crore on the expansion of mobile services in the country
with 2,000 new mobile towers to be set up as part of the plan, mostly in
uncovered areas. During his speech at the event, Congress MP Lal Singh had
expressed regret that several areas in the state were yet to be covered by
BSNL, leaving people cut off from mobile communication.
