Airtel offers connectivity in Kargil

Bharti Airtel has announced that it now provides seamless voice and data connectivity to its customers in Kargil. The connectivity has extended to this region through VSAT links and specially designed telecom infrastructure which can be adjusted as per the need in case of any unprecedented weather conditions, said the company.

With this development, Airtel now provides network coverage to all 22 districts of Jammu and Kashmir.

Jagbir Singh - Director, Network Services Group, Bharti Airtel said, "At Airtel, it is our constant endeavour to provide superior user experience to our customers by seamlessly connecting them wherever they go. District Kargil is known for its inclement weather conditions and remains cut off from the rest of the country for more than 6 months, especially during winters."

He added, "The teams have worked very hard towards this project and we are pleased to have the network deployment that will allow the natives and tourists to stay connected to their near and dear ones throughout the year. With this, Airtel becomes the only private operator to have network footprints in the border district of J&K."
